Aim of the Project

We are here to help the community to raise their living standards. The idea is to set up a Volunteer and Backpackers Lodge to create an income stream for the village. With this money, the Lungusile projects can be financed: A creche (early learning centre) for little children, a school based on Cambridge Distance Education Systems, a vegetable garden to teach organical gardening, a sewing project, and many other things. In the course of these projects, we plan to build compost toilets and solar showers for the village, install water pumps and a central tap to fetch water etc.

The lodge and all other projects are partly owned by the village, partly by us. With this system, they have a vital interest for the project to succeed, because it will benefit the community directly. The overall goal of the project is to raise the living standars of this village, create a system that generates income for the people, raise the education level of the villagers and make them independent of us or any other help from outside, such as donations etc.
