What we do

Himalayan Hemp Organisation is India’s first Hemp Cooperative Society of farmers and eco-preneurs following AIDA (Awareness, Intent, Desire, and Action) for promoting sustainable development with smart organic farming, innovation integration, and a fair economic model by utilising and preserving the indigenous Himalayan hemp strain.
Our first product is Himalayan Hemp Sanitary Pads which are organic, biodegradable, healthy, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and highly effective for post-natal menstruating women. We are planning to install these sanitary pad setups in multiple villages so that women can not only have a side income but can also provide a menstrual gift to other women.
As a more elaborated vision, Himalayan Hemp Cooperative Society has developed an economic model and it will be fairly distributed for running four main sections of the eco-village as Himalayan Hemp Seed Bank, Himalayan Hemp Healing Village, Himalayan Hemp Research Institute, and Himalayan Hemp Industries.
Note: We are trying to preserve the indigenous variety of hemp, not the industrial hemp which is actually an unverified plant being spread in various parts of the world which makes it important to preserve the indigenous variety of hemp as well.

How to join

The community is in the initial phase due to social and legal taboos associated with hemp; therefore, we would initially require people who can invest in the projects and work as volunteers for the cooperative society.
The people joining can contribute in these sections: –
As a farmer / Researcher
As a Seed Bank Specialist
As a Research Institute Workshop Organiser or Volunteer
As an Ayurvedic Specialist for making medicinal mixtures
As a bio-industry, not just sanitary pads but all other ideas
As a brand specialist and social media management
As an investor
They can get in touch and discuss the ideas to proceed further about the work.

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.
