This picture was sent to Megan after she returned from Malawi. Whilst there she donated just AUS $15 to this village so they could fix their water pump, so they didn’t have to travel 1km by foot to the the next village for water. She has since donated part of her business proceeds to this village in Malawi.
At Garden to Table Permaculture we believe in Earth Care, People Care and Fair Share. When Megan Cooke, the director of Garden to Table Permaculture, returned back from Malawi after completing her second Permaculture Design Course, she felt inspired by the Malawian people she had met on her travels. Since returning back home to Australia Megan decided to donate part of the proceeds of her business to Hardwell Kaniye and his family of 10 in a local village in Lilongwe, Malawi called Chitedze. Megan and hardwell keep in regular contact to give each other updates on their Permaculture journey.
Hardwell says:
“A lot of Malawian families in Malawi do not have enough land as the population is growing very every year. However having land of your own is a great opportunity for it gives freedom to do what you want on it. Our family believes that most of our problems will come to an end If we gets the land. In addition to that, the family will be very grateful to own a piece of land because it’ll be a huge blessing and a perfect answer to some of the essential ideas we have been thinking to do for a long time.”
