EcoVillage Project Kenya would rather be part of the solution than the problem. And, let's face it, wouldn't it be great to have a beautiful home and a breathtaking landscape to enjoy while we are at it!
The newest apartment complexes are nearly void of any tree cover. What little renewable solution added to these new developments are the classic solar water heaters. What about grey water recycling? solar back up systems? Water harvesting?
The bottom line is: our country has less tree cover; water; and viable land. Today's property developers are not doing enough to provide their clients with living spaces that combat climate change. Nor are they doing anything to reverse it.

Is it the responsibility of the property developer?
We at EcoVillage Project Kenya say, resoundingly, yes!
Developers around the country are building our future and as they do so, they are systematically cutting down trees, carpeting our soil with cement and not doing much to help future generations with sustainable living solutions that conserve what little we have left.
Be different. Choose to live in a way that gives back and leaves something for future generations. An eco village by design considers the local environment when planning for the inhabitants and their needs, today and tomorrow.
Be different and choose to be part of a system that provides a healthier choice - produce; peaceful and serene environment; connection to nature and a break from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
Be different.
There is no clear how-to-create an eco village. However, the Gaia Trust say that "through personal commitment and change in lifestyle, ecovillagers are building living models of the future in harmony with nature."
The EcoVillage we plan to create will be one with a living space that will model a revolutionized rural home that provides a healthy way of living amongst like-green-minded, while offering a source of income, an option to share our methods and an opportunity to replicate across the country.
Be different. Make a permanent change...or consider supporting us.
