SCOPE's core work is in assisting schools to redesign and rationalize land use for sustainable resource use.

The Centre

We are an off-grid permaculture centre that runs on 100% renewable energy. Located on the edge of the city, the centre is suitable for hosting conferences and events while providing a refreshing and enriching experience. The centre was named Chitubu/ Exaphozini which means ‘spring’ in our native languages (Shona and Ndebele respectively). We strive for the centre to be a resilient spring of hope, growth, knowledge and togetherness!

 

We aim to be a model in sustainable living and we take pride in advocating for holistic health and providing environmental education.
