Regenerosity

Have you ever wondered how to start a project from scratch in extreme circumstances? This inspiring conversation between Wegesa Jane Fraser and Oliver Goshey on The Abundant Edge Podcast is a perfect place to start. "Of all the projects that I've watched develop from the beginning, Jane is the example I most enjoy pointing to when people ask for advice on how to get their projects started with limited resources. Her determination, creativitiy, tenacity, and focus on community are blossoming into a real catalyst for change in her region of western Kenya." - Oliver Goshey, The Regenerative Edge podcast Wegesa, our friend and Regenerosity East Africa Regional Coordinator, is a community mobilizer, Permaculture and Regenerative agriculture trainer and practitioner working with local communities, sharing simple and effective regenerative solutions that help to restore degraded landscapes, improve livelihoods and boost resilience.

"Grassroots resilience is more essential than ever" - Re-Alliance During times of international aid budget cuts, the power of regenerative community-led approaches shines brightly for all.
