Empower Change with ECAHLI — A New Life, A New Beginning
20 Families. One Community. A Model That Can Change the World
Hello, my name is Petrus Van Der Merwe, founder of ECAHLI — the Eco-Community Alternative Housing Lifestyle Initiative.
I’m reaching out because we are building something rare in today’s world:
a self-sustainable community that gives people dignity, opportunity, and a true fresh start in life — not charity, not dependency, but ownership, purpose, and hope.
Empower Change with ECAHLI: Build a Sustainable Future Today
Transform Lives. Transform Communities.
What Is ECAHLI?
ECAHLI is a living, working, self-sufficient community designed around:
- Sustainable 3D-printed hempcrete homes
- Free renewable electricity & clean water systems
- Organic food production (no chemicals, no altered seeds)
- Education, skills training & leadership development
- Healthcare, wellness & complementary medicine
- Community-owned enterprises and shared decision-making
This is not just a place to live.
It is a new way of living.
Why 20 Families Matter
We are offering 20 carefully selected families an opportunity that can change the trajectory of their lives:
✔ Safe, dignified housing
✔ Meaningful work and skills training
✔ A supportive community
✔ Shared ownership and participation
✔ A future built together, not alone
These families are not recipients — they are co-creators of a new system that can later be replicated in other regions around the world.
