What we do

As specialists of Youth Inclusion, Life Project 4 Youth decided to replicate its model and establish a Green Village solution in Nepal, located in the outskirts of Kathmandu: An entrepreneurial sustainable hub providing a platform boosting the professional inclusion of 240 Young Women per Year. It is also a community eco-village and catalyst oriented as the Youth host events and learning activities with the community in order to share professional decent world, digital inclusion and environment preservation.
In 2020, the team decided to implement the center temporarily in a suburb located North of Kathmandu, but is being relocated to the South in a district called Godawari, surrounded by municipal forest. In this land of 3000 square meters lies a few discredited brick buildings with a field for agriculture purposes.
The aim remains the same to welcome excluded young women coming from different districts of Nepal, so that they can follow professional training.
Green because the purpose of the Green Village Nepal is to develop a sustainable place focused on 4 green pillars: agroecology, ecotourism, ecocontruction and digitalisation to be in tune with the 21st century. Those pillars are important as they represent both the challenges and the future of Nepalese’s society.
It is also Green because the aim is to raise ecological awareness through training and visits to other inspirational and green places in Kathmandu. The Young women are also involved in activities such as growing vegetables, doing compost, waste management and debates on ecological topics.
Village because this inspirational place will gather all the stakeholders involved in the project: the Youth, the partners and the community. The aim is to have a positive impact through events, workshops, conferences held in the Green Village.

Gaia Ashram Internship

The Pioneers of Gaia Ashram , 5th of July– 2nd of August 2015 The Gaia Ashram Internship is a one month program on Ecovillage Design, Permaculture and Deep Ecology. The internship will be a holistic participatory learning experience & process. Interns will experience being part of the Gaia Ashram Community and we will live together for one month at– Gaia Ashram-. At Gaia Ashram we belief in holistic learning that balances the head, hands & heart. Gaia Ashram encourages participatory learning & values the power of community in holding the learning space. We design the daily & weekly structure of the internship and of our lives here based on these values and principles. Theoretical learning (Head) The theoretical sessions will be participatory and interactive. It will cover the 4 keys of Ecovillage Design Education (Social, Economical, Ecological and Worldview inspired by Gaia Education). Each week will cover one of the Ecovillage Design Keys and integrated into this we will be introduced to Permaculture Design & Deep Ecology in terms of philosophy, movement and personal experiences. Overall, We will have a maximum of 2-3 hours of theory per day on the session days, to also create lots of space for practical experiential learning. See more details of the key content below. Practical learning (Hands – on) For the hands – on practical learning we will be developing the Gaia Ashram’s farm and restoring nature on the Gaia Ashram land using permaculture strategies & techniques that are appropriate for the Rainy Season & the land and its local context. The hands-on work will focus on Gardening work i.e. developing the vegetable gardens, planting seeds & seedlings, transplanting, propagation of plants, making composts, growing and maintaining a Food Forest, planting green manures, planting lots of trees, planting seasonal crops. Apart from the Gardening we will also will be doing some natural building which mostly will focus on creating natural finishes usi
