Master Compost Training Program

To Build Healthy Soil and Resilient Communities aims to teach community members how to produce compost at the local community level in order to build healthy soils for gardens, conservation landscapes, and both urban and rural farms. This is a train-the-trainer program in which program graduates not only teach others how to compost and about the benefits of amending soil with compost, but also create a community composting demonstration or capstone project.

CZWDA at its Zero Waste Centre in the Serenje district will advance composting and compost use as a key sustainability strategy to create jobs, protect watersheds, improve soil vitality, reduce stormwater run-off and erosion, cut waste, avoid landfill methane emissions, save local governments and businesses money, and build resilient local economies. This work will increase proper composting methods and the amount of available compost in any particular region and other select cities around Africa, which can serve as a means of improving soils for local healthy food production and further benefit communities through green job training and creation.
