Our Vision


The Bamboo4Africa Training Program is more than just skills development—it's about creating a sister-village network of regenerative communities across Africa and beyond. Through partnerships with local organizations like the Bamboo Resource Centre Kenya, we're building a movement that transforms bamboo from an overlooked resource into a pillar of sustainable development and community empowerment.



Led by expert bamboo architect Jaye Irving and supported by a growing network of passionate advocates, this initiative addresses critical challenges: reducing deforestation, creating meaningful employment, improving community resilience, and building climate-adaptive solutions that honor traditional knowledge while embracing innovation.



Because bamboo requires many hands—with Bamboo4Africa, we grow stronger together.

PT Bamboo Creative Bali is about maintaining traditional skills and knowledge by creating Inclusive Village Environments which maximize the potential for people with disabilities to be included in day-to-day activities and have enriching life experiences, while enabling parents/carers and humans at-large to have some supported time-out to REVIVE themselves and connect through sharing time and engaging in learning, fun, tactile and creative activities (natural building, crafts, gardening, cooking, music and other skills/activities) and to collectively ‘bring to the table’ our time, art and talent. We are building relationships with our local community, neighbors, local foundations and international helpers, artists and skilled professionals, therapists and interns to develop a village environment where our special ‘kids’ can have meaningful social inclusion; where we can learn and holistically engage with local culture and spend time Being In-Community.
