What we do

Ma Da Ecovillage is an ongoing project to transform a community in Dong Nai province into a self-resilient, sustainable village for residents and the city’s freelancers and remote working professionals.
The project’s original location is a remote village between Tri An Lake and the Ma Da Nature Reserve. Its proximity to the city (~2 hours drive), freshwater body, and tropical jungle make it ideal for living. However, most residents are living below the poverty line, leaving it with many social and environmental issues.
Our project first started with an eco-farmstay cum educational project to provide free classes for local children. It quickly receives supports and attention of city people who visited and fell in love with this village. We are on the way to create a small community of professional who is deciding to relocate their family to the village, to enjoy the pristine atmosphere while still be able to maintain their jobs.
The project aims to provide:
– Connection between the professionals and residents;
– Quality sustainable housing and community management;
– Educational services (homeschooling) for children;
– Agriculture management for residents;

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.
