What we do

Eco-Clean Ghana Foundation is a Not for Profit organization that recycles waste into resources and creates entrepreneurial opportunities for the vulnerable in our society. It uses permaculture and ecovillage sustainable modules in turning waste into resources and creating livelihood empowerment opportunities. It empowers women and youth into generating income from plastic waste by turning these waste into school bags, laptop bags, and market bags. It also trains them on producing cleaning detergents (Liquid soap, shower gel, hand sanitizer, and bar soaps) for sale. Mushroom production training is also organized for these targets to produce and sell in the market to improve their livelihood. As part of ECG Foundation financial sustainability initiatives, it ensures there is a sustainable market for its livelihood empowerment activities and contributes to solving social issues like poverty, unemployment, health, and waste management.
ECG Foundation works with farmers, women, youth, and schools in rural communities. Eco-Clean Ghana Foundation is located in the upper west region of Ghana, Wa-Bamahu. ECG Foundation partner with stakeholders and organizations that promote waste education such as Ghana zoomlion company, urban waste, municipal assemblies, Ghana education service, Ghana health services, and other local and international partners in turning the spiral of handling waste by providing necessary resources such as education on waste management to the general public, distribution of dust bins, forming waste management clubs in schools, collecting both plastics and degradable waste for recycling.

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.

Encuentro de educaciĂłn en libertad

Hola, amigos y amigas. Este año queremos celebrar en la Ecoaldea de Matavenero el I encuentro de educación libre del lugar. El año pasado, en el hermoso ambiente de Hervás nos juntamos un grupo de personas con unos intereses comunes en torno a la crianza y a la educación. En ese mismo lugar, nos comprometimos a realizar el segundo encuentro en nuestra aldea, y para nosotros es un orgullo poder organizar esto para tod@s vosotr@s El título del encuentro es:. Crianza natural con naturalidad y está enfocado a aunar fuerzas y fomentar un entorno de comunicación y convivencia donde se muestren diferentes iniciativas individuales y grupales de la península en torno a la crianza y educación , creando una atmósfera de ilusión y empoderamiento grupal. ¿Qué nos ofrece Matavenero durante este encuentro? Naturaleza y naturalidad. No podemos ofrecer más de lo que somos y aquello con lo que vivimos. Aquí tenemos una zona de acampada,> tierra para mancharse, árboles para trepar, fuentes para bañarse, caminos para dejarse llevar, aire para sentir, frutos que comer, risas de niñ@s y de adult@s, música en el ambiente, carretillos voladores, hogueras nocturnas y magia. Durante unos días podremos ser duendes. Queremos que este encuentro nos transporte a una atmósfera de sencillez, humildad y curiosidad. Nos regale una mirada de niñ@. El encuentro será espacio de expresión para todas las iniciativas y personas, sin crear pretensiones ni aspiraciones más allá que las de empoderarnos como padres, como acompañantes, como colectivos y como grupo. Relajarnos y sentir la capacidad innata del ser humano para criar y educar, a todos los niveles y desde todas las estructuras. Que nos volvamos conscientes de que el mero hecho de haber vivido implica que tenemos mucho que aportar a nuestr@s pequeñ@s, y por nuestra condición de seres tribales, la cultura, los grupos de apoyo y la red familiar son la base del crecimiento del ser humano, allí donde se encuentran todas las herramientas
