Salvamento Salvamento: Saving Lives, Restoring Ecosystems. Together, We Thrive

26/10/2023

If you've seen my previous post, I'd like to extend a special invitation to you to help us choose the most fitting name for our center. This farm is situated in a place known as Segwagwa, which translates to "frog" in the Tswana language. Your input is invaluable in this decision-making process. Let's give our center a name that resonates with our mission and the spirit of this land.

Salvamento has taken a significant step by leasing a farm located 130 km from Gaborone. This farm serves as a dedicated Permaculture demonstration center, and we invite you to join us on this transformative journey.

Here, we aim to explore regenerative ecological approaches to combat poverty and rejuvenate the ecosystem we are an integral part of. It's about more than just sustainable farming; it's about learning to coexist harmoniously with other members of our ecological community, fostering abundant life through diversity.

Your involvement can make a meaningful impact, as together we work towards a brighter, more sustainable future.

Permaculture Principle #2

"Catch and Store Energy" is all about being resourceful and planning ahead. It means using the abundance of energy when it's available to store for times when it's not. Whether it's harvesting the sun's energy through solar panels or storing water during rainy seasons, we can use our creativity to collect and store energy. So, let's take action and find ways to catch and store energy in our own lives, to create a more sustainable future for all.

Permaculture Principle #1:

"Observe and Interact" means taking a step back before jumping in. It's like being a detective in nature, observing its patterns and systems, so that you can work with them and not against them. So, the first rule of Permaculture is: watch and learn, then act with intention.

If Israelis can grow crops and export food from the Negev desert, what valid excuse do we have for struggling with food insecurity and poverty in Southern Africa? It's time for us to invest in regenerative agriculture practices that are adapted to our local ecosystems, and that prioritize local food security and sovereignty over export-oriented agriculture. By building resilient agroecological systems, we can create abundance and regenerative livelihoods for our communities, and pave the way towards a more just and sustainable future.

We have taken a deliberate preferential option for the marginalised; the poor and the environment, who bear a disproportionate burden as the result of the so-called development. At the very bottom, you find women, children, and mother earth. How long should we choose to do nothing about and pretend it is business as usual?

Salvamento has turned a new leaf, our business is now skewed towards two areas; poverty eradication and promotion of sustainable practices as people pursue their livelihoods.
