Movie goers support African village

Published: 16 October 2008 y., Thursday

An African eco-village in South Africa's wine region receives funding from a surprising source.

Lynedoch eco village is a small hamlet in the heart of South Africa's Cape Winelands. It's been designed so that people from mixed social backgrounds can come together to live and work in a sustainable community.

 

The village makes its own power and has a water recycling plant, organic gardens, a primary school and several business units. Funding comes from a local winery, government grants and surprisingly, a cinema in London.
