Open Source Ecology is a movement dedicated to the collaborative development of tools for replicable, open source, modern off-grid "resilient communities." By using permaculture and digital fabrication together to provide for basic needs and open source methodology to allow low cost replication of the entire operation, we hope to empower anyone who desires to move beyond the struggle for survival and "evolve to freedom."

Make A Change - For Africa

Why Africa?

by kaboyo julius, Rwanda

Why should it be Africa,

where children starve amidst food,

people die evil deaths without cause,

war wipes out entire communities and commodities

and causes panic inside our intestines--

leading to miscarriages that discourage

our courage?

Why we,

they say, our soils are fertile,

our land is the richest without reach,

yet we languish in biting poverty,

sickening solitude of absolute hunger,

as if there is no one to help?

Our life span is below God's promise,

our culture is decaying beyond rotting.

What have we done to deserve this?

Why we,

who were the beloved of the world,

whose culture stood firm like the Muvule tree,

whose children saw no sickness and agony,

us that bore the courage of giants--now

we are marked with fear and fright to flight

from our own father's land?

We, whose beauty was bound to no bolting

but brood beyond horizons--now

opt for imported beautification.

Us, who believed in love and unity,

now tear each other like tigers.

Why we,

who cherished chastity and honesty,

but now believe in immorality and betrayal?

Tell me brother--who triggered us to this

treacherous, treasonous life,

punctuated by misery, pain, hunger,

death, deprivation, despair, disillusionment,

and degradation from our captors?

Who should we blame for this?

The gods, the invader, the era, or ourselves?

Who will help us?
