HOW TO GET TO IKI-GAIA...

If you arrive in your own vehicle, it is very easy: put in the navigator: "CORTIJO PUERTO DEL SOL" and it will take you to the base of our Ecovillage.

Before arriving you will find the "PARKING" sign, where you will find some spaces to park your car, ask for information and register for the event.

From the car park we will offer a shuttle service to take you to the Cortijo if you don't want to make the walk up to the top.

If you don't have a car or don't want to travel alone, here is a link to an excell we have set up to make it easier for you to share rides.

In March it will be on 13ten.

In the intimate meetings you are the protagonists. We will be happy to dedicate space to listen to your feelings and concerns about the project and we will try to answer your questions as best we can.

 

If you are a member of our association, we invite you to send us your questions before the meeting so that we can prepare some additional material that may help you to understand some aspects.

SLOW-TOUR OF PERMACULTURE IN FEBRUARY (FORMATIVE WORKSHOP)

It will be next Saturday 12th February.

At the same time that we can get to know each other better, in this Permaculture course you will have the opportunity to see and learn about the advantages of Permaculture and its tangible results in one of the farms that we have been coordinating for years in Macharaviaya (Málaga)

Scholarships – student sponsorship program

Scholarships - student sponsorship program

The La Noria grant we have applied for, which offers in collaboration with La Caixa a grant of 20,000 euros, has been denied us this year, so we can not offer cheaper quotas.
Given that the educational project currently depends entirely on the pocket of each of the families participating in the project -and on the will of many hands/hearted volunteers-, we are looking for people, organizations, associations or companies to help us offer this second year some scholarships to families with fewer resources.
We have already found some people willing to collaborate with 100 or 150 euros per month for 10 months (school year 2019/20) so that we can offer scholarships to children from families with fewer resources.
If you are interested in being part of this program contact us and we will tell you the details 659 10 98 09
If you would prefer to make a one-time donation to this program, please put in the "Gaia Scholarship" concept when making the transfer.
We are currently working on a video to launch a crowdfounding campaign that will allow us to have more human and financial resources, and even be able to acquire a space of our own where we can develop the project without limitations. We are looking for investors related to the values of the project interested in supporting us.
Thank you for helping us plant more seeds of awareness, love and respect in our environment.
