Help Guarda Rios Ecovillage Flourish
Donation protected
Here at Guarda Rios Ecovillage we want to take the next step forward into a sustainable and healthy future on all levels.
We are raising funds to start and continue
- regeneration of the ecosystem
- organic food production in harmony with nature
- reforestation of the land
- water retention design - lakes, ponds, swales and wildfire prevention
- establishing a viable ecovillage which provides a healthy community structure and environment to live, learn and work in
- giving and hosting workshops, courses and events in diverse topics like permaculture, ecovillage design, natural building, wellbeing and others
- to support interested individuals and families in topics of education, unschooling and natural learning
So how exactly will this money be used?
a) ongoing payments for the land
b) buying forest, fruit and nut trees as well as irrigation pipes and water tanks
c) designing, planning and building swales, ponds, lakes
d) improving existing facilities and building new ones
e) continue setting up events spaces (and visitor facilities)
f) setting up an alternative schooling project with child friendly facilities and education materials
This project is located in central Portugal near the Serra da Estrela mountains on a beautiful 24ha property, bordering the Mondego river. A cooperative has been established and there are three resident members and a circle of friends and volunteers supporting on site, online or financially.
While we are still growing - reach out to us if you are interested in being a co-founder of the village - we need your help to make this dream come true.
With your support we can have a massive impact not only on this particular piece of land but also on our children, the wider community and - as we are working with the authorities, with lawyers and architects - it will smoothen the way for other start-ups like ours to flourish!
Your support will allow a whole network of sustainable communities to grow!
Be part of the change, be part of the movement that cannot be stopped anymore!
Please do check out our Website, please do share and spread the word - we are so grateful for any and all kinds of support!
Feel invited to reach out and get in touch if you have any questions or if you would like to get involved directly with Guarda Rios Ecovillage.
