About the Program
Our program is designed to build resilience and self-sufficiency for the community.
By prioritizing energy sovereignty, we integrate hybrid solar and geothermal systems to provide cooling, heating, and reliable hot water reducing dependence on unstable national infrastructure while delivering long-term cost savings. Water security is achieved through innovative “Dry Home” design, featuring Hydraloop greywater recycling that reuses up to 90% of household water and rainwater harvesting systems, moving us toward near self-sufficiency.
Beyond sustainability, the program revitalizes community life: the first phase includes five homes and a community center, interconnected with farming initiatives, a local market, education programs, and a clinic. Together, these efforts foster youth return and strengthen intergenerational continuity, ensuring a thriving future for all.
Community Revitalization
We’re proud to collaborate with Source Farm Ecovillage, a pioneer in regenerative living and sustainable community development. Their decades of experience in permaculture, ecological design, and cultural preservation provide the foundation for this program’s success.
Together, we’re creating a model that blends traditional wisdom with modern innovation, empowering communities to thrive in harmony with the environment while ensuring resilience for generations to come.
Long-Term Vision
Our vision is to create a climate-adaptive, culturally rooted community where Taíno families can live, thrive, and secure their future on ancestral land, even in the face of intensifying climate change.
