Description
We are a nature-loving couple who are enjoying creating our own little Eden by building the biodiversity on our garden. We live on a small plot in peri-urban Lusaka, where we raise goats and grow our own food using regenerative and agroforestry principles. We also have a plant nursery where we grow exotic plants for sale to supplement our income.

UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The media project we are developing will allow you to meet different groups of people and gain insights into how they practice sustainability and trying to create contextualised content there is a huge scope for learning more about language and attitudes.
Help
We have a vision to educate people on how to live sustainably within the Zambian context, and so our focus is to use digital media to do this. We have a website, Youtube, and social media where we want to create content that promotes sustainably living in Zambia and need the help of creatives to be able to create engaging educational content.
We want to mainstream the concept of sustainable living, and this means coming up with ways to present the information in ways people can understand. This involves writing blogs, creating digital downloads, video scripting, filming, and editing.

Accommodation
Room with two single beds, own bathroom, courtyard. We are very informal so guests are free to use the kitchen as they require. Food is provided and we will have shared dinners.
What else ...
We are walking distance from several shopping centres with decent restaurants and are about 500m from the main road, where one can catch the local minibuses to larger shopping centres and city centers. Lusaka also has decent taxis that you can hail through the Yango app, which are also quite reasonably priced. Within a 5-kilometer radius, you can visit Munda Wanga, a nature park, Sandy's Creations resort, Lilayi Lodge, Twangale Water Park, Gladiator Gym, Cosmo Mall, and Makeni Mall. We also have community markets, such as the Lilayi Green Market, which is held monthly in our neighbourhood.
We would include our guests in some of our excursions which may be of interest.
