In Southern Africa, Designing Hope and The Ivory Foundation strive to forge human links between the actors of the different projects they develop and support.
In 2017, the women of Eswatini and Roosboom came to train in permaculture the students of the St Paul’s pedagogical farm in Lesotho. Since then, the youth have made great progress in their practice. They in turn came in 2021 to help the women of Eswatini to prepare the land for a 300m2 greenhouse that they built entirely for them within the Garden of Skills in Malanti. The same team is now coming to Roosboom, in the South African province bordering Lesotho, to help the women organise their garden. Again, they help the women expand their greenhouse, doubling its size. Its textile cover helps reduce the impact of the scorching sun on the young shoots.
