The Chikukwa Project (Australia, 53 min)

Directed by Gillian Leahy

Produced by Terry Leahy

An amazing story of African villagers who turned their lives around. THE CHIKUKWA PROJECT is a feel good story out of Africa. For the last 20 years an incredible permaculture project has been growing in Zimbabwe. It is the largest such project in the world. Where once the people of the Chikukwa villages suffered hunger, malnutrition and high rates of disease, this community has turned its fortunes around using permaculture farming techniques.
