    Om programmet

    Our 'E.A.R.T.H Workshops' combine resources from Butterfly's Information Centre and the approaches learned from years of direct involvement in communities through hosting environmental workshops, women's groups and sharing information. They have been developed with realistic and holistic approaches to directly impact interested villages to increase food security, improve nutrition, soil health and tackle deforestation. They empower communities to independently work towards solutions and become more resilient the environmental issues they face day to day.

    Our experienced community development outreach team deliver the workshops over 6 weeks, then continue weekly implementation and support visits for a further 6 weeks, followed by ongoing monthly, then quarterly support and monitoring visits.

    Alongside this program, we run a tree nursery (based at Butterfly Space) for 20,000 indigenous and fruit tree seedlings, to plant in and around villages who participate in the workshops.

    Typisk dag

    The E.A.R.T.H Workshops delivery ( May- December)

    Tree nursey focus (December- April)

    Project leaders- Holly Kift, Maxwell Ngwira. 

    Volunteers can help Maxwell with preparation, delivery and documentation of the workshops, including financial documentation, social media, report writing and fundraising. The workshops run Mon- Friday, and are situated in villages. Volunteers are expected to cover transportation costs (motorbikes ($2-5) each way depending on how rural the village is situated. 

    We will focus on 4 villages over a course of 3 months. The workshops include:

    Introduction ‘The Seeds Of Change’, Movie showing. The film raises awareness and encourages debates on critical social economic issues at community level, including gender based violence, child education, the effects of climate change, deforestation, women empowerment and youth unemployment. Discussions will encourage the community to participate fully in the following workshops, which will teach people how to solve some of these issues.

    Compost- A demonstration on how to make organic compost using free local materials which are found in villages. 

    Soil Health & Mulching- A discussion and demonstration about soil health, how to protect soil and improve & build soil structure and fertility, and mulching demonstrations. This session will also include a discussion to promote the preparation to make fuel reducing cook stoves.

    Mbeya Fertilizer- A demonstration on how to make organic based fertiliser. 

    Fuel Reducing Cook Stoves- a demonstration to make at least 2 cook stoves in the village.

    Agroforestry & Bamboo- discussion about the issues of deforestation, and the benefits of agroforestry. Indigenous/ fruit tree planting workshop- we will supply seeds for trees and plants using recycled materials, and instructions on how to grow certain types of trees.

    Health & Nutrition A workshop about nutrition & health followed by a cooking demonstration using healthy additions which can be easily grown at home.


    Regular visits and ongoing support is provided as part of the program, to build confidence, increase implementation rates and engage more people.
