Phase 2 of the Bamboo 4 Africa Training Program is taking place at Anabas Resort in Meru, Kenya in January! This initiative is designed to upskill local communities in bamboo craftsmanship, empowering them with sustainable building knowledge.
Training programs are crucial to teach effective bamboo management and treatment methods, enabling communities to build sustainably and reduce pressure on forests while enhancing rural economies through job creation in the bamboo industry. Proper management will not only improve the growth rate and quality of the bamboo but also ensure that it becomes a valuable resource that farmers and the community can collaborate together towards building a sustainable bamboo industry.
This 22-day, 2 Module program (starting January 21st, 2025) will provide practical skills and knowledge in:
○ Bamboo Clump Management, Maintenance & Biochar Production
○ Innovative Low-Cost Bamboo Treatment Techniques
○ Post-processing and materials preparation
○ Small Building Construction Skills
In MODULE 1 of the (Phase 2) training, expert Jay Irving will cover essential techniques for managing bamboo clumps. This includes thinning out overgrown stands to promote healthier growth and utilizing the thinnings to create biochar, which enhances soil quality and provides an alternative cooking fuel to wood. Proper management will not only improve the growth rate and quality of the bamboo but also ensure that it becomes a valuable resource for the community.
MODULE 2 focuses on incorporating bamboo into local architectural designs, promoting eco-tourism and alternative livelihoods centered around bamboo cultivation to stimulate local economies. This not only empowers individuals with new skills but also creates employment opportunities within the growing bamboo industry.
