Our pilot programs in Kenya and Uganda are now demonstrating real impact, with the farmers seeing improved food security and incomes as they put their 3-month training in permaculture design into practice, create their model farms, and build collaborative networks with other farmers in their communities. See our regular Newsletters for the latest updates. Our first pilot in Kenya ended successfully early in 2020, and we are now raising funds for our 3rd pilot - also in Kenya with the same team at C-MRA who delivered Phase 1.
The contributions you make now will help us continue this essential work, building our capacity to work with new communities of farmers who can participate and benefit from this program.
permEzone is a project of Empowerment WORKS, a 501c3 nonprofit organization.

WHY CONTRIBUTE?

We provide training and support for impoverished rural communities to learn how to help themselves.
Your contribution will:
  • Help hundreds of families feed themselves with nutritious food
  • Help them increase their income from diverse crops, and reduce their farm costs
  • Help us support them as they work together to find shared solutions to common problems
  • Help improve the local environment and take action to reverse climate change
Please make a donation towards the costs of delivering our 3rd pilot program, working with a new group of farmers, this time in Kisa West, Kenya. Our program of training and support will stay with them for two years as they put into practice what they have learned and build community around regenerative farming practices, continuously evaluating the impact of the service.
We started this pilot program in June 2017, and have made a great start turning theory into practice. Our approach of working with selected training centers in East Africa, where they already work with local farming communities, means that we can make the most of their experience in training and support that is adapted to the needs of local conditions and cultures.
So far we've raised sufficient funds to cover our first phase pilot program with the farmers in Asumbi, Kenya, which was successfully completed in 2020. We've also covered most of the costs of the second pilot, working with the famers in Sanje, Uganda.
We now need your continuing support to maintain this momentum. With your help we can expand the pilot and work in cooperation with additional centers in E. Africa, develop and support the cell-phone platform, and carry out the detailed program of Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) that will ensure that the pilot has a big impact.
Our MEL team of academics and development professionals are working together to monitor, evaluate and report on the program's impact. Feedback from the trainers, the farmers and their support workers will inform the continuous development of the program, and the creation of a knowledge-base and support-base for a subsequent roll-out of the service world-wide.
