Working Villages

Food for Life reports on Working Villages:
A model village is literally rising from the ashes, and include full employment, private ownership of small farms and businesses, zero carbon footprint and 100% recycling. The project is a practical demonstration that it’s possible to profoundly increase living standards in rural Africa without hampering local culture and ingenuity.
The once-abandoned land of Itarah is now full of productive activity and lush crops. The enthusiastic WVI staff, led by Fiston Malago, have cultivated a large area, growing over 90 different varieties of crops.
