Project Summary

We at, Ikhwezi Lokusa Permaculture Farm, have traveled 1000km from the Eastern Cape to assist and help establish a 3rd community garden in Khayelitsha

Project Description

EZENDALO INNOVATIONS GARDEN PROJECT Xolisa Bangane and Lonwabu Mfengusa are dynamic youngsters within the Khayelitsha Community (Cape Town, South Africa) who through their own accord, started up two Community Gardens at local primary schools within their neighborhood. The food grown in these gardens help aid Soup Kitchens, food for the school children as well as their own families.They now want to extend a third garden as well as upgrade their two existing gardens. Ezendalo Innovations Garden will be the third project branching out from Xolisa's initial concept, Ikhaya Garden. IKHWEZI LOKUSA PERMACULTURE FARM We at Ikhewzi Lokusa Permaculture Farm, situated 15km outside of East London(Eastern Cape, South Africa) decided to pack our spades and tools to come give the Ezendalo Team a hand. Our farm is an organically managed farm, and have been so for the past 3 decades. We put our heads, hearts,networks and resources together, to help these inspiring souls achieve even more through what they have already setup. We will be hosting Basic Permaculture Principle and system Workshops, as well as workshops on Soil Management, and Beneficial Bacteria for a stronger MicroBiome through the art of Fermentation. We are giving of our time and energy and fundraising and looking to establish many more of the same initiatives within impoverished/underprivileged communities. We are looking to raise funds through any means necessary to further aid our cause in educating communities and empowering individuals through the exchange of Permaculture skills and knowledge.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	PRI PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	PRI Teacher With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
