Malawi Schools Permaculture Clubs Details
Malawi Schools Permaculture Clubs empowers primary teachers and students in rural northern Malawi to run after-school permaculture clubs. Each student works on an individual permaculture plot and collectively they implement a school design. Now in our 6th year, we are working with 22 schools, over 40 volunteering teachers, and over 800 pupils. MSPC started in 2015 after a successful trial club at Mkondezi Primary School. During that first year, we identified four critical factors that would enable other teachers to run clubs in their schools:1. Permaculture training & facilitation skills for teachers2. A ‘syllabus' & detailed teaching materials3. Supporting infrastructure4. Schools & pupils must be self-selectingPermaculture is a design approach based on understandings of how nature works. At its heart, permaculture has three ethics: Earth Care, People Care, Fair Shares. This makes permaculture a unique toolkit that is used to design regenerative systems at all scales -- from home and garden to community, farms and bioregions around the world. For us, the importance of permaculture lies in the empowerment of Rural Malawians, using an ethical framework for solving problems using systems-based approaches. Enabling sustainable development for Malawians is essential to tackle the existing poor development solutions. Current solutions are too focused on economic development, rather than community and environmental development.
