$10k or $2m

Dear Fellow Zaadz Loungers,

There's a project in need of funding and I wondered if any of you could help sign post us?

$10k is to fund a resourcing trip to a centre for victims of war and land mines near a refugee camp where we're setting up a sewing workshop to enable patients to make clothes for the children in their community. Near this centre there's a man made oasis and its in need of development to turn it into a fully functional food resource for the refugee populaton in the area …
$2m is to fund an educational project that teaches displaced peope to create sustainable food producing gardens in harsh environments. This project trains trainers, providing portable knowledge of permaculture systems that enable peple to become self sufficient and free from dependency on international aid.
The project links the interconnected issues of poverty and the multiple solutions born out of sustainable self sufficiency.

We're using proven models, delivering certificated educational resources and co-creating ecological environments for people to learn about the logic of permaculture.

If you have any leads or know any funders looking for projects, please let me know by personal message.

Many thanks my friends

Martin
