Support Permaculture Open Days in Malawi
|
16 schools in rural Malawi want to hold Permaculture Open Days for their local communities. Can you help them?
|
MSPC works with these schools year-round helping schoolteachers to run weekly permaculture clubs for kids. We have a tried-and-tested formula and several engaging and informative exhibits for the Open Days. We are fundraising to cover the costs of running open days at schools in 16 villages during July and August. This is a crucial part of our outreach work, and also allows other local schools to see the benefits of permaculture clubs and sign up to start their own.
|
CoLab members Josie Redmonds and Kate Swatridge co-founded MSPC in 2015. To date the programme has transformed the environments of 28 schools, planted thousands of useful trees, and trained hundreds of adults and thousands of children in permaculture.
|
|
Your donation will be doubled! A generous donor has offered to match-fund any donation made in the next few weeks (up to $1000).

Permaculture Survey
|
|
The Permaculture Association Britain (PAB) is excited to invite you to take part in this survey, designed to gather insights from individuals and organisations across the global permaculture community. Answers from all permaculture organisations, networks, local groups/projects and individuals who are part of the permaculture movement are welcome.
|
PAB recognises the global interest in permaculture and that conducting a global survey can foster mutual understanding, collaboration and support across borders. This survey aims to illuminate the state of permaculture worldwide, identifying shared challenges, emerging trends and interests. Your participation will help us understand the scope and impact of the permaculture movement globally, highlighting both challenges and opportunities for growth. This survey will give valuable insights and reveal general trends that we will share with everyone, rather than providing a precise picture of the movement globally.
|
Your responses will be anonymised and used for research purposes. We will only share generic results and trends publicly to maintain the confidentiality and privacy for all participants. We encourage you to share this survey with others in the permaculture community, including organisations, networks, projects, practitioners, researchers, educators and enthusiasts.
