The once mythical North East of India, where S.E.E.F. had set up a micro-farm in 2021 for training local youth in cooperative farming for good....Now hit by state violence and oppression, with hundreds families on the run.An unexpected change as well for S.E.E.F., faced with a project site which now offers shelter, work and income to two refugee families and 5 boys from different families. In challenging times, resilience and versatility are key.

It will be a busy autumn in Kongo Central, enlarging the "Mayombe eco-friendly school network" with 3 new member campuses under construction or renovation. Stay tuned !

Happy holidays, ... but not in India ! Happy however, to start up again our nursery class activities in Kolkata, after long period of inactivity due to Covid 19.

👉 After India and the DRC, SEEF goes Burundi ... where we have set up a women's cooperation for the manufacturing and sale of organic terracotta pots. 🤜 100 women under 30 years old, all from batwa ethnic minority, have been selected as participants to the programme. 👍 After training by senior village women, they got involved in the fabrication, commercialization and management of the cooperation.🤞 Each participant is receiving from SEEF 50% extra revenue on each item sold. That revenue is saved in the cooperation for the future development of the village, starting with sustainable agriculture and education. 

"A l'école écologique de Nsumbi, nous avons lancé l'opération plantation d'arbres fruitiers par enfant. Chaque enfant devra planter son arbre qu'il doit entretenir durant son cursus scolaire et devrait être remplacé par un autre s'il(elle) quitte l'école. Et l'argent devrait porter le nom de l'élève qui le plante. Ceci dans le but de réaliser un verger pour l'école. Les produits devraient renforcer l'économie de l'école. Voilà ce que nous faisons ces jours-ci."

Proud about the outcome of our first winter edition of the "Laudato Sì" project call in the Vijayawada area.

A "batwa" women's business in East-Burundi.

Grateful to Anas and Anita for organizing every week-end Jonah's tuition class. Room for play, dance, sports and rehearsal. Free attendance, but effort asked to keep the campus clean. 

When ecology starts with respect for the environment and goes hand in hand with responsible citizenship.

Happy to announce the renewal of the working capital grant for Year 2/5 !   "Les Pépinières Sociales du Mayombe" is a 5 year partnership between Social Ecology Education Fund, OSB (DR Congo) and the King Baudouin Foundation.  

Stand up, Girl ! Academy in  action.  On this first autumn day, another successful Think Day dedicated to putting Laudato Sì into practice. An interactive workshop concluded with an organic friendship meal.  

WORLD CLEANUP DAY ... A key day for hundreds of little S.E.E.F. ambassadors, simultaneously at work for a clean village: from Congo to India in our participating campuses of Nsumbi (DRC); Tshimpondo (DRC), Calcutta (India) and Avanigadda (India).
