History
Permaculture Across Borders evolved from teacher-student discussions at Permaculture Design Certificate courses around the world. A foundation was envisioned that would build upon local knowledge by supporting community-based demonstration and education sites, and that would connect communities, cities and regions to each other to create a shared knowledge database .

Projects
PAB is launching its first major project in collaboration with Children of Uganda in the Rakai district of southern Uganda. Working with and learning from the local community, Children of Uganda and Permaculture Across Borders are partnering to bring greater food sustainability to a Boarding School and Home for orphaned and vulnerable children in South-Western Uganda. PAB will facilitate a permaculture-based approach to achieve greater food, water, & energy self-sufficiency and establish the Home as a community resource for learning, teaching, and spreading sustainable agriculture practices.
PAB continues to support Mahboba's Promise and their welfare & sustainable development projects for the women and children of Afghanistan.
We appreciate your support and collaboration. For further information on these and other opportunities please email us at:
