Education & Training
Education and training are central to the
activities of Baobab Trust. We aim to improve understanding of
the environment and sustainable agriculture, using methods that are both
practical and easy to demonstrate. Our programmes and initiatives
are designed with the needs of the farming communities in mind. Seminars
and trainings always include HIV/Aids awareness.
