  Description

  We are a social enterprise entity with the focus on using bamboo to address 3 main concerns at the local community level :
  1. ECOLOGICAL SECURITY: conservation of forests through timber substitution, alternate materials to non-biodegradable & high energy consuming materials like metals and plastics.
  2. SUSTAINABLE FOOD SECURITY: bamboo based agro -forestry system, maintenance of soil fertility of adjoining agricultural lands, and bamboo shoots.
  3. LIVELIHOOD SECURITY: generation of employment in planting, primary processing for manufacturing and production of market driven bamboo products.
  
  Our intention is to make our place the base to conduct training, shared facility center making and marketing bamboo products.
  We have 2 full time workers staying and working here. At time we have more part time workers to assist during bamboo training programs that we conducted here and building more facilities here.
