Ina, not a qualified permaculturalist but I do practice indigenous knowledge systems on my place in Cape Town. Have just inherited some land outside Windhoek so will be doing some development work there next year. It would be great to network and share ideas and experiences. Let us stay in touch!

super, let me know when you are coming to Windhoek

I say apply for your grant, and if you get it, invite whom you will

Africa needs way more if this sort of projects. It is likely the most threatened continent by climate change, soil loss and poverty, but permaculture leaders are currently working in the most fertile areas of the world--go figure!

I'm increasingly convinced that those of us working in Africa need to build our own network and write out own books. There are so many intricacies to the wet/dry tropics that current permaculture training does not address. Do you have a website or blog of what your already doing?

Here's to a great collaborative future in Africa!

Thanks Nathanael, you can find us on facebook www.facebook.com/GrowingFoodinWindhoek/
If you have any nobudget ideas for zone 1 in informal settlements in drylands - please let me know! Greetings, ina

Hello everyone, greetings from Namibia. We are currently building up an urban Permaculture farm in the informal settlements of Windhoek.  We could apply for a grant that allows us to bring a US Permaculture Designer here for a masterclass with participants from across the country. Our objective is to be a centre of knowledge for shack dwellers, so I am especially reaching out to people who would include topics such as dry abolution facilities, household grey water use etc. If you are interested please send an email to ina@worldfuturecouncil.org
Many thanks!
Ina
