NGO Permaculture in Ukraine

Coordinating a network of permaculture centres, NGO Permaculture Ukraine offers training, events and educational resources across Ukraine, also ensuring accessibility for internally displaced people (IDP) and former military personnel.

The organisation was founded following the first Permaculture Design Course (PDC) in Ukraine in 2011, and has held at least one PDC annually, actively seeking funding to make training accessible to vulnerable groups.

Following the full-scale invasion in 2022, its focus expanded to include:

  • Hosting displaced individuals.
  • Advancing food security.
  • Studying soil regeneration after military damage.
  • Using gardening as a tool for trauma rehabilitation and community rebuilding.

The 14 permaculture centres provide training, shelter for IDPs and war-abandoned animals, and rehabilitation for children and adults. Its designers also create communal projects, including schools and homes for disabled people. Despite air raids and blackouts, NGO Permaculture Ukraine successfully hosted a two-day permaculture festival in Kyiv’s botanical garden in September 2024, drawing 100 participants eager to engage with top regenerative practitioners.

NGO Permaculture Ukraine empowers Ukrainians for sustainable living and transformative change. Through active social media engagement and collaborations with ecovillages, zero-waste networks, and other ecological movements, it extends its influence and inspires a growing audience to adopt permaculture principles for Ukraine’s regeneration.
