Youth-led Permaculture Initiative for 800 Youth

Dear Friend,

Thank you very much for your continuing support to our project supporting youth who are undertaking permaculture or regenerative agriculture activities. We are trying our best to advocate to the youth the practice of permaculture because the possibility of income spread is wide as opposed to monocrop agriculture which is the common practice. We are facing an uphill struggle in promoting this because the mind-set of people is already focused on single-crop and high-chemical agriculture and we hope slowly we will be able to change this. During this reporting period we establish a small demonstration area whereby we are using waste materials for examples car tires for crop growing. We also recycle organic farm waste into fertilizer so that the dependence on purchased fertilize is less. Hoping for your continuing support to our initiative. Thank you very much.

Very sincerely yours,

Jed Christian Sayre

Dear Friend,

Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our project training and engaging the youth to undertake permaculture or regenerative agriculture. The farming population is aging and the youth is not encouraged to engage in farming finding it not attractive financially. They opt to find work in the cities and with their skills not fitted for jobs in the cities, they end up more destitute. Our aim is to infuse to the youth the passion for farming by showing them success in the industry and providing them with starter inputs so that they are able to start smoothly. This reporting period we are producing vegetable seeds that young farmers will be able to use in their own farms as we found out that access to good quality seeds is becoming scarce and limitied. Hoping for your continuing support. Thank you very much.

Very sincerely yours,

Jed Christian Sayre
