The Centre for Appropriate Rural Technology (CART) is a community driven sustainable development project located in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. It functions as a life skills centre in the heart of Sicambeni Village, a rural village near Port St Johns.

CART was formed as a centre to tackle poverty in a more holistic way. CART aims to give the local population the skills and technology to allow them to live self-sustainably without the need to seek work outside of their own villages, ultimately allowing the migrants to return to their homelands.

CART promotes bottom-up develoment of the individual by empowering decision making from a base level of a healthy body and healthy mind. A healthly body comes from healthy nutritious food grown locally by the community in their gardens.
