About the workproject

We need 10 volunteers

We are a Permaculture farm, dedicated to community upliftment and transformation. Our training programme includes both official PDC courses as well as local-language Permaculture Basics.
Retsogile Permaculture Education and Training Trust was established by Ken Strang, who donated his farm and funds to start the Trust.
Although the farm has been in the Strang family for 23 years, Permaculture was only begun in April 2015 so there are still many aspects of our design that still need to be implemented.
We rely heavily on volunteers as the Trust is still in its infancy and there are not many funds for salaried staff.
