💼 What the programme involves
Boane is a district of the Province of Maputo located 32 km from the capital. It has about 102 457 inhabitants and is a district full of vegetation and its main activity is the practice of agriculture given its location as well as climatic conditions. It is based on these tools that we strongly believe will help us explore the soil and make better use of it, planting new diversified crops that will provide people with healthy food and enrich quality diets as well as give farmers the chance to understand that mother earth can give more than we receive from her, as long as we know how to care for and protect her.
The project will focus on participatory and gender-inclusive planning during the fieldwork. About fifteen to twenty volunteers will join in the learning. In the execution of the project, men and women will have the capacity to produce beds, prepare and work the land through techniques used in permaculture based on drawings, manure preparation, sowing of different cultures and production of an irrigation system for the cultures in response to the climate changes.
