When something is fundamentally right it just works. There are no handouts to be had and all our community projects are established in partnership with local people.

The process invariably starts with a long hot meeting in the village with the Chief and Elders. We discuss the needs of the community and how we can achieve a list of sustainable development objectives working together.

During your stay with us you will become involved with projects ranging from low-level construction to making elephant dung paper. We have to balance the needs of the project with our need to ensure that your experience is both fulfilling and fun, but can assure you of an incredible experience.

The end result is an international, multi racial, multi religious, culturally diverse community achieving extraordinary things together.
