Permaculture For Refugees (P4R) is an organization that seeks to sustain livelihoods and ecosystems by inspiring sustainable permaculture practices in refugee camps and communities globally.

In the past, peacebuilding efforts by P4R have aided refugee communities around the world including in East Africa and Bangladesh. Following a year of global conflict, their teachings have been more essential than ever to the many displaced by strife and violence in domestic and international settings.

With strong historic and continuing support from Australian Quakers, P4R is now working to support permaculture practices and practitioners in the Middle East with a specific focus on Gaza. In addition, in Myanmar their network is setting up refugee schools with permaculture instruction for ethnic minorities from Malaysia. A new permaculture teacher training in Spain is occurring with a focus on refugees and a Ukrainian ecovillage has been providing news of their permaculture instruction.
