  Description

  Welcome to our permaculture learning centre. We invite you to join us in a unique Workaway experience that combines community engagement, sustainable construction, and immerse yourself in permaculture.
  We are on an exciting journey to construct a sustainable permaculture learning centre for young people 16 to 35 years that embodies eco-friendliness, community involvement and cultural richness. We need your help to make this vision a reality!
  
  WE NEED HELP WITH CONSTRUCTION.
  Our construction project encompasses various tasks that volunteers
  with a wide range of skills can contribute to. Here's how you can get involved:
  1. Debris Clearance:
  ● Help us clear debris from the building site, bringing it back to the foundation
  level for a fresh start.
  2. Sustainable Building:
  ● We utilize locally sourced materials like sand, stone, plastic botle and water to build stady walls that blend with the island's natural beauty.
  ● We obtain other materials through donations, such as cement, metal
  sheeting, and new tools.
  3. Carpentry Skills:
  ● Carpentry skills by crafting doors, ceiling boards and steel windows that
  reflect the island's unique charm.
  ● Contribute to the creation of furniture, including school beds, school uniform and school learning materials
  4. Glass Artistry:
  ● We have work in creating windows that not only let in the island's radiant sunshine but
  also add a touch of artistry to our project.
  5. Eco-conscious Construction:
  ● We have the construction of a veranda/porch using eco-bricks, which are
  recycled bricks made from plastic bottles. Our children will be learning alot from this to make our environment cleaner.This initiative aligns with our
  commitment to sustainability.
  6. Flooring :
  ● Get involved in the flooring process and assist with tasks necessarily needed to bring the building to life.

  Autres infos...

  Mfangano Island is a nature-lovers paradise with plenty of birdlife, hikes and peaks with stunning panoramic views. We are on the east south side of the island and exposed to sun rise, but there is much to see and experience on the other parts of the island as well as the other nearby islands on your days off.
  We either walk or take boat and motorcycles around (no more cars on the island !) and there are motor boats to transport people to different points on the island. It is possible to walk the whole ring road around the island in one day (if you start very early in the morning !).

  Cet hôte fait payer des frais

  en savoir plus

  Pourquoi workaway.info autorise-t-il certains hôtes à faire payer des frais ?

  Dans les pays en voie de développement (où la plupart des hôtes sont engagés dans des associations caritatives ou des programmes de développement au service de la communauté locale), certains de nos hôtes peuvent demander aux workawayers de faire un petit don pour aider la famille d'accueil ou l’association (souvent moins de 5 dollars par jour). Workaway n'autorise cette demande de don que si le don va directement à la famille ou à l'association et s'il ne sert qu’à couvrir les frais de séjour des volontaires. (Les annonces où l’hôte demande des frais seront clairement identifiées dans la liste d'annonces).
  Nous n'autorisons en aucun cas les annonces d'agences, d’intermédiaires ou de projets qui nous semblent vouloir profiter des volontaires.
