Sos environment is a lab within Ngaparou ecovillages which incubates many projects, so the targets are permaculture, research on human and animal food and renewable energy.
In Ngaparou we are trying to bring to the population through the results of work done in SOS lab all what they need to make the transition from the stage they are to an ecovillage.
We have defined 3 steps in the transition from traditional design to ecovillage design. These steps bring competition spirit in the minds. The highest is the 3rd step wherease all communities want to be on the highest step.
To reach these goals we have 2 kinds of partners; private partners who bring direct funds in terms of money or materials. Those private partners want to remain anonymous. Then we have association who are strong doners. besides these 2 partners we have the international organization like USAID, FAO, UNDP, etc.
