Help Heidi plant more trees and use solar energy
Donation protected
From a deep feeling and wish to live in nature with my children and to contribute to the protection and strengthening of her waters, air, earth and energies, I, as a single mother, am starting up an ecological-hostel in the middle of a grassland that I want to transform into an oasis of flora and fauna. In the green mountain area there used to be many forests; and waters were abundantly flowing in the many rivers. During the years, trees were cut everywhere, for the purpose of cattle breeding, and to make place for houses. Especially in the mountains higher up, severe effects have been that water sources have been drying up since then and large landslides have caused a lot of damage in the area.
My first objective therefore, is to reforest the grassland, with fruit and timber trees, in order to transform it into an oasis of flora and fauna. With this objective, I aim to contribute to the protection and strengthening of the environment: the air (CO2), the waters (rivers nearby), the earth (improvement of the soils, to evite erosion and improve agriculture production). I also aim to become more self-sufficient in terms of food production and availability of wood for bio-construction and heating of houses and other constructions. My aim is to start with planting 150 trees, both fruit trees and timber trees. The money that I need for that is EUR 750,-.
I also want to become more self-sustainable, in terms of energy and water supply, in order to better take care of nature and its resources. My second objective therefore, is to make use of renewable energy of the sun, by means of solar panels. The idea is to begin with the installation of solar panels that provide about 1 Kwh of energy, to be used in the eco-hostel (all the lights, and electricity points for charging battery of computer and cell phone). Aim: to install solar panels at the roof of the eco-hostel that supply 1 Kwh of energy. At a cost of EUR 2.000,-
The third objective that I have is the capturing and storage of rain water, for irrigation and domestic use. The idea is to install a system of capturing and storage of rain water from all the roofs, both from the eco-hostel building (the Tambo) and the private house. The aim is rain water capturing from the roofs of the Tambo and the private house, and storage into water tanks, for the purpose of domestic use and watering the gardens at a cost of EUR 250,- .
Your financial contributions really would be appreciated, since, because of them, I would be able to contribute to the improvement and strengthening of the environment ánd to become more self-sustainable. And, last but not least, my project will function as an example for the neighbors around me: to make them aware of the importance of protecting and living in harmony with nature, to evite climate change.
