WELCOME to Nawantale, Uganda !
We are villagers revitalizing our way of life as farmers and peasants with help from an American tax exempt 501(c)3 charity. We are building a 30-acre community school by implementing sustainable ways to improve our environmental health, and by using English literacy to learn helpful natural steps we can take to eradicate our poverty, improve our water and food resources during climate changes, and prevent HIV AIDS and malaria which are killing us. As you browse our story on this website, you will
begin to see that costly modernization is not always a solution to natural processes that have lost the stewardship we want to regain. We invite you to see how we can improve our agrarian way of life by working with nature, not trying to make nature submit to gas-powered machines or toxic violence. We are educating ourselves with 21st century agrarian competency. We also use our new literacy to avoid mistakes the developed world has made that we read about. Think white, plastic bags….
One of our eco-partners is the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, Taliesin. Our beautiful Nawantale Mountain pictured here is the inspiration for the design themes Taliesin has chosen. We are learning about using our locally available building materials, but in new ways to promote construction safety, better allocation of human uses of buildings, and integrating buildings, land, water catchments, solar power, and knowledge about our local environmental floods and droughts. Taliesin is donating designs for ALL our campus structures and teaching us to think organically so we can sustain our lifestyle as “new” eco-agrarians, and we invite you to take the journey with us. Please share our story in your classrooms and families.
