Earth Tribe Trust - Zambia and Kentucky  

An END to poverty and malnutrition. 




Kentucky project for the winter: Emergency shelter building
Our goal is to build this shelter first, then start working on growing and expanding with farming in the spring. This project is to have people come together with their skills, knowledge, and willingness to help make an alternative education model for the future. It will teach how to live off the land (primitive survival skills and shelter), natural building, bio-intensive growing, canning, storage and preparation of foods, aquaponics and beyond!

The property is a common trust. A Common Trust is a private, non-profit organization that as all or part of its mission, actively works to conserve land by undertaking or assisting in land or conservation easement acquisition, or by stewardship of such land easements (wikipedia)

Your more than welcomed to join us in Kentucky, even if its for a short visit. You will need your own tent and supplies. Any help is welcomed. Pictures of the land are on the Earth Tribe Trust page. If you have any questions or plan on stopping in to help message me anytime!
