Lyfta storyworld: Kihamba Life - Tanzania

Meet Simon, who practices Kihamba farming, using a sustainable method called permaculture that supports the natural habitat. Kihamba farms are the plots of land passed down from generation to generation of the Chaga people of Mount Kilimanjaro. Preserving this land is a way of sustaining the environment, the Chaga people and their culture.

Follow Simon and his work on the farm in our powerful short film. Students can explore his farm and Mount Kilimanjaro, a UNESCO World Heritage site, with immersive 360° spaces and rich media articles.

Lesson and assembly plans cover growing food, responsible farming and renewable resources. Students will discover how human activity impacts the natural environment, explore the principles of permaculture and understand the heritage of Mount Kilimanjaro.
