Empower Projects has been supporting Kapita Primary School in Malawi since 2011. This school of 450 pupils has an action plan to develop a food garden that will enable a sustainable meal program. Empower has been supporting the school through capacity building in permaculture to help build the school's ability to start an organic food garden. This lead to the creation of a Permaculture Committee with students, parents and staff represented. In addition to now reaping the benefits of organic produce from the garden, students have also learnt how to create eco-toilets and are looking to expand that project further.
