    We are becoming self-reliant on the food we consume. We do organic farming – growing millets, fruit and timber trees, vegetables, coffee plants. . . We have a small solar power plant to take care of the lighting and other energy needs of a household. We use a dry compost latrine to recycle our waste. We have built a house with stabilised mud blocks. A lot more is happening, Come, visit us. . .
