Permafund Chair & PA Director John Champagne reminds us never to forget the humanitarian potential permaculture offers.
“Bill Mollison’s pioneering decades of teaching in places such as Africa and India has launched a plethora of NGOs dedicated to assisting their communities gain a better standard of living through the application of our ethics and principles.”
“Surely assisting those that are in greatest need reflects the Fair Share ethic like no other and there’s no better way to thank Bill than to donate to this cause. Bill Mollison was many things but at heart he was a great humanitarian and here at Perrmafund, we share that passion.”
Every dollar donated to Permaculture Australia’s Permafund counts. Through the years
- $500 has helped translate Timor Leste’s ‘Tropical Permaculture Guidebook’ into more languages.
- $1,000 has developed a chicken tractor and aquaculture system in Orissa, India.
- $2,000 has supported the propagation and planting of 5,000 native trees by three schools with 5,000 students & their families in Kitale, Kenya.
The Permafund Circle carefully assesses each applicant to our grant rounds against rigorous selection criteria. Identifying environment restoration projects that integrate permaculture practices and represent the best value for the money helps to maximise the impact of every dollar donated to Permafund.
Permafund grants provide support for natural system restoration & maintenance, improved biodiversity & food security, permaculture education, alternative economy initiatives, water management and sustainable community development.
