What we do

Ruma EcoVillage: A Sustainable Haven in Myagdi, Nepal
Nestled in the serene hills of Myagdi, Nepal, Ruma EcoVillage is a thriving community dedicated to sustainable living, eco-tourism, and regenerative agriculture. Rooted in Nepal’s traditional rural lifestyle, our village aims to create a self-sufficient, environmentally conscious, and culturally rich community where people and nature coexist harmoniously.
Our Origins
Ruma EcoVillage was established to address rural depopulation, environmental challenges, and the need for sustainable development in mountain communities. As younger generations migrate to urban areas, traditional knowledge, farming practices, and local culture risk being lost. To preserve and revitalize the community, we provide opportunities for eco-conscious living, sustainable farming, and responsible tourism.
Our Principles & Purpose
At Ruma EcoVillage, we are guided by principles of sustainability, community empowerment, and environmental stewardship. Our key focus areas include:
Regenerative Agriculture – Reviving traditional farming practices with organic methods, permaculture, and agroforestry.✅ Eco-Tourism & Cultural Exchange – Offering homestays, trekking experiences, and hands-on learning about Nepali village life.✅ Community Development – Providing education, skill-building, and sustainable livelihood opportunities for local residents.✅ Environmental Conservation – Implementing waste management, reforestation, and plastic pollution control initiatives.✅ Holistic Living & Wellness – Hosting yoga, meditation, and nature-immersion programs to promote well-being.
Our Vision
We aspire to create a model eco-village that demonstrates the power of sustainable living while preserving Nepal’s rich heritage. By fostering global collaboration and local engagement, Ruma EcoVillage aims to revitalize rural communities, protect natural resources, and inspire others to embrace a greener future. ✨

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.
