ABOUT US

THE DREAM

A LEARNING CENTRE IN ZIMBABWE

KUFUNDA began as a dream 21 years ago when Maaianne Knuth, founder, returned from Denmark to Zimbabwe.

Her own experience of the wisdom and beauty of the Zimbabwean people, and especially those from rural places, led her to create KUFUNDA as a place of learning, where people could recover their sense of pride, diversity and capacity in working with their own knowledge to create a healthy and vibrant community.

​

Maaianne is an experienced facilitator and designer of group learning and co-creation processes. She is passionate about supporting people in coming together in more authentic and life-affirming ways. Maaianne’s story bridges Europe and Africa in an arc that travels from Copenhagen, where she studied international business, to Zimbabwe, where she co-founded Kufunda. Her work in hosting creative and generative processes, including conscious dance, mindfulness, and time in nature supports Kufunda in hosting individuals and communities in waking to who they are and what they can be within their communities - moving towards a more just and beautiful world.

Core to Kufunda's work is learning how to become stronger together.

We have worked for the past 21 years with communities and civil society organisations using participatory approaches to help communities identify what they most care about and find the way to move towards this together.

KUFUNDA FARMING

As a learning centre we have long been learning our way into what it takes to create healthy and vibrant community and sharing this with our local community, and communities around Zimbabwe. The relationship with the land is core to this.
