What we do

Habiba Community includes a beach lodge, a communal organic farm, a regenerative farm, and a learning center. Our vision lies in cultivating our desert through ecology and knowledge to build a strong, healthy & sustainable future for the entire South Sinai Community.
Our regenerative farm & organic farm aim to green the desert by providing organic produce, gathering ecological knowledge and building community collaboration. We test regenerative growing techniques, enable economic sustainability and build a holistic-minded network of peoples—volunteer, academic, scientific, locals and even just the curious. They host impactful volunteer experiences.
Habiba Community also established the Sinai Date Palm Foundation to create sustainable, eco-friendly income for the local community. We also engage partners, universities, and organizations from around the world to build a model of regenerative movement in the desert.
Our organic farm supports and is also home to Habiba Learning Center—where cultivating the minds of local children is one key to Our Vision. We’re devoted to our kids’ development through applicable education and advancing their individual talents & interests, nurturing life-skills and helping enable a sustainable future.
Habiba is also sponsoring female empowerment projects. These initiatives are mainly implemented by enabling women to sustain their living without resorting to any outside help, and by raising economical awareness among Bedouin women, so they are able to maintain a life by developing a project or career.

Communities for Future Online Summit

The Communities for Future Summit is an entirely free, online experience hosted by the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN). From the 1 to 10 February 2020 we will daily unlock 3 interviews with well known thought leaders, change makers, indigenous elders, community lovers and youth activists from around the planet. During the Summit, we will explore: Systemic change – a complete transformation of our human institutions and workplaces, Inner change – the inner healing that is needed in order for us to heal our relationships to the world around us; Change on the Ground – how communities around the planet are already becoming space of regeneration; and Youth Change – the young people who are taking to the streets, raising their voices and demanding climate justice for future generations. Together, we will engage in finding our authentic response to the Climate Emergency, a response that is not driven by urgency, fear, panic and hurry, but comes from a deep sense of connectedness, love and responsibility. Young people are taking to the streets, demanding that we all take urgent action on the climate and planetary crisis. GEN is picking up the baton and inviting all of us to manifest the needed change now, protecting, restoring and transforming in our communities, municipalities and countries. Let’s build Communities for Future. Let’s find our response to the Climate Emergency. Please join us. To see the full list of speakers and to see which interviews are live at any given time, visit summit2020.ecovillage.org
