  Ayuda

  Our farm is a renovation project that aims to blend tradition with innovation. Dating back to the 16th century, it is a nearly intact typical Catalan farm that we are working to restore while preserving its historical beauty.
  
  This year, 2024, we are specifically looking for help to insulate the roof from inside using a 100% natural technique with sheep's wool and to implement a revolutionary solar energy-based heating system that has never been done before.
  
  Alongside this, we're integrating green technologies from my company, Activ-Glass, which specializes in sustainable and smart glass solutions. Our goal is to create a space that not only reflects our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and well-being but also stands as a testament to the harmonious blend of historical preservation and cutting-edge environmental technology.
  
  Our project is not business-related, nor is it intended to generate revenue. This project is philanthropic, aimed at preserving and revitalizing a cultural and social asset that is on the verge of disappearing.
