Dear Sir/Madam,

Greetings from Unity Eco Village, Chapakot-23, Pokhara Metropolitan City, Nepal. We are writing to express our interest in collaborating with the Permaculture Research Institute to promote sustainable development and integrate permaculture principles into the Eco Village community.

About Unity Eco Village

Unity Eco Village is a grassroots initiative dedicated to sustainable living, ecological conservation, and community well-being. Our mission is to create a model Eco Village by integrating sustainable agriculture, eco-tourism, and plastic waste management while empowering the local community. Since 2016, we have been actively working to control plastic pollution, promote organic farming, and develop sustainable practices.

Our vision aligns with the principles of permaculture: regenerating the land, enhancing biodiversity, and building resilient communities. However, as a growing initiative, we seek expert guidance, training, and resources to maximize our impact and sustain our progress.

Proposal Objectives

We propose a partnership with the Permaculture Research Institute to:

  1. Integrate Permaculture Practices: Introduce ecological design and sustainable farming methods tailored to our local context.

  2. Capacity Building: Train local farmers, volunteers, and community members on permaculture techniques, including water harvesting, soil regeneration, and companion planting.

  3. Eco-Tourism Development: Collaborate on creating permaculture gardens and showcasing sustainable practices to eco-tourists visiting the Eco Village.

  4. Plastic Pollution Control: Develop sustainable waste management systems in line with permaculture ethics.

  5. Research and Innovation: Conduct joint research to identify innovative ways to address climate challenges and improve land use in the Eco Village.

How the Permaculture Research Institute Can Help

  1. Provide expert trainers and permaculture educators for workshops and on-site guidance.

  2. Assist in designing and implementing a permaculture landscape tailored to the Eco Village.

  3. Offer educational materials and resources to support knowledge dissemination.

  4. Facilitate global networking opportunities to attract volunteers and funders for our initiatives.

  5. Support the establishment of a permaculture demonstration site for education and tourism.
