Strawberry Fields Eco Lodge in the Konso Special Woreda, Southern Ethiopia

 

SFEL seeks Hospitality Supervisor to assist with operation of the project’s cafeteria and accommodation at a standard acceptable to westerners.

 

Strawberry Fields Eco Lodge is a community oriented business operating in rural south Ethiopia in Konso Woreda, an area noted for its unique local culture and indigenous agricultural system, but suffering from repeated food insecurity due to re-occurring droughts in the last 50 years. SFEL promotes community well-being through Permaculture design training and consultancy services delivered to local schools, as well as though developing community based tourism activities to generate alternative income for the community grass-roots. The project combines a lodge, farm, organic restaurant and Permaculture school as well as organising off-site trekking and cultural activities. The area is peaceful, but facilities and infrastructure are poor and the environment is challenging though beautiful.
