Seka was born out of the Community Outreach Programme (November 1999 – November 2000); a project initiated by Africa Resources Trust and Theatre for Africa. This programme spanned seven Southern African countries (Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe) and used a unique combination of theatre and facilitation to address grassroots environmental issues with the focus on Community Based Natural Resource Management. The programme then took the voice of the common people from these countries and created and presented a play to policy makers and stakeholders throughout southern Africa. Since then Seka has conducted various environmental projects.
