[CAF Note: I try to support entrepreneurs who are making a difference in their communities. Philip Munyasia is one of them. This was originally posted on October 8th, 2012. I am bringing current as we just made a donation today to address emergency needs created by floods and because Philip has added Paypal to their website which makes it much easier to donate on line!]

Philip Odhiambo Munyasia, the founder of OTEPIC, grew up in Mitume as the youngest of 8 brothers and had the rare opportunity to visit a high school. Afterwards, he started to teach people in his neighborhood how to grow their own food and improve their situation. Eager to learn more, he was given the opportunity to do an internship in the Permaculture farm. “Ecology Action” in California. Later he took part in the Global Campus training program in Tamera, Portugal where he became familiar with Sepp Holzer´s permaculture. He has returned to his neighborhood after every visit abroad, with a deep wish to change the situation of his people and has acquired ideas for how to do it.

In 2008, he founded OTEPIC and created a team which has been teaching people, initiatives, groups and communities to use Permaculture as an alternative way to gain food security and to conserve nature and biodiversity.
