Okwera Village.
A 150-acre, self-sustaining community I'm developing in rural Zambia — weaving hydroponics, agroforestry, a market hub, cultural tourism, and a vocational learning center. This is where the work started, with the Situmbeko women's co-sponsorship.
Situmbeko Women — Where It Started
Long before the master plan, we co-sponsored 30 young women from Situmbeko Village through digital literacy, entrepreneurship, and employability training. That first cohort proved the model: the village already has the talent — it needs the resources to meet it.
Land & Agroforestry
150 acres held in trust for reforestation, food sovereignty, and climate mitigation using regenerative practices anchored in local knowledge.
Hydroponics & Market Hub
A working hydroponics operation and a market hub that anchors local economic activity year-round — jobs, trade, and food security in one system.
Okwera Learning Center
A vocational learning center on the land that hosts cohorts, TEVETA-aligned training, and youth programs — turning the village into a classroom.
Cultural Tourism
Ethical, low-impact tourism experiences that route revenue back into the village and its stewards, and share the land with visitors who come to learn.
How to Partner
Fund a phase of construction, sponsor a cohort at the Learning Center, contribute expertise in regenerative agriculture, or co-develop a cultural tourism programme.
