ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Qala Tala (Start Green) was founded by Thabo Olivier and Anita Venter on June 2012 as a social initiative aiming to address housing and food insecurities in developing countries. Tjaart van der Walt joined the team in August 2013, and Qala Phelang Tala (Start Living Green) came into existence. Start Living Green aspires to address core issues hampering the creation of sustainable human settlements. Our aim is to show that it is possible to develop low-income innovative affordable implementable strategies to raise sustainable awareness in the built environment. We implement best practice models addressing housing and foods security in mostly informal settlements and poverty stricken areas. In an economically-dominated society with many unemployed, most people are deterred from self-building and self-sufficiency when it is in fact is a viable, sustainable and replicable option to create vibrant communities. Therefor Start Living Green intends to illustrate the value, importance and ease of using appropriate technologies related to housing, food security, water efficiency and energy independence. We are pro-active and aspire to be the change people wish to see in society. Interactively, Start Living Green involves and includes the communities they work with through a ‘learning by doing’ approach. Through social engagement we seeks to identify individual ‘change agents’ and empowering them to help create models related to sustainable human settlements that are climate change resilient. By teaching and promoting self-reliance, communities are able to vastly improve their quality of life while simultaneously allowing freedom from many limitations imposed by a government lacking capacity to address these needs. Start Living Green strives to create successful pilot projects to lead sustainable directions in developing countries.
