Kesho Leo Childrens Village
Permaculture in Tanzania.
Eve Archbold has recently returned to Australia having spent eighteen months implementing and managing a permaculture project in Northern Tanzania. Kesho Leo Childrens' village is a community project that focuses on sustainable living and education while providing safe accommodation for vulnerable single mothers, their children and orphans. The village incorporates a health clinic and bilingual preschool and kindergarten programs, small enterprise and educational programs for residents and the community. Kesho Leo Childrens Village incorporates environmental systems such as rainwater harvesting, solar and wind power, composting toilets, biogas for cooking, food forests and organic vegetable gardens and aquaculture in an effort to model sustainability and to demonstrate intensive but sustainable food production. Eve will talk about foodwatershelter and Kesho Leo children's village and the environmental systems that are now in place, looking at how these systems work and how they are managed.
Eve is currently working at CERES and studying a Master of Urban Horticulture at Melbourne University
