Since its founding, Guba has been inspired by & dedicated to improving people’s lives in Lobamba Lomdzala & Swaziland. By managing our initiatives wisely, in partnership with our communities, we can alleviate poverty & help create a world in which everyone can share in the benefits of sustained & inclusive growth in harmony with our environment. Our approach works on the assumption that our commun
ities are not going to develop along the same lines as the western world. Not just because the dominant western development model has resulted in an industrialisation & mass consumption that is both environmentally unsustainable & promotes social inequality. But also because Swaziland has a unique heritage & culture that cannot simply be placed to one side when designing its future. Permaculture has provided everyone at Guba with an intuitive framework for designing a sustainable future around the three ethics: care for people, care for the Earth & fair share. All the tools & information we need to design & plan sustainable communities are available now. We utilise & share a growing range of tools that fit within this framework & influence our approach.
