2003 Sponsors

The Sustainable Village is a "social enterprise", many of us volunteering. We donate/invest all profits for microfinance and microenterprise projects in developing countries. As a way of further helping the villagers and undermining the roots of poverty, we help import the products back. These are mainly fair-trade items, organic, and made with renewable energy - no or little pollution resulting in their creation.

We provide solutions to global problems using renewable energy and appropriate technology. We help projects in developing countries concerning energy generation, safe water, public health, long-distance communications, sustainable agriculture, and micro-enterprise employment. We provide the "hard technology" for these projects: design and engineering, equipment and parts supply, international delivery, training and installation. Additionally, we do print production, web site development and marketing consulting for sustainable development organizations.
