Help Jolinaiko Eco Village and Atsiekpoe-Vume
Jolinaiko Eco Village is not aimed at creating a profit for Jolinaiko Eco Tours. We hope that the initiatives and the lodge can be run without financial help from our company.
The initial building of the ecolodge is financed by Jolinaiko Eco Tours, out of profits from our organised tours. We see Jolinaiko Eco Village as an ingredient that will make our tours more interesting and attractive to prospect clients. This is the commercial value for our company.
Help us realise the Jolinaiko Eco Lodge
Because Jolinaiko Eco Tours is a small company with relatively low profits, it will take some time to generate the necessary funds for building the lodge. At this moment we invested about € 1200,- in gaining the rights to build on the land, and to buy building materials. We need an extra budget of about € 2600,- to finish the first basic version of the lodge.
If you are interested in helping us with this initiative and accelerate the building of the lodge, there are a few possibilities:
- Book a trip with Jolinaiko Eco Tours. Part of the travel sum will be used to realize the lodge.
- Work as a volunteer at the primary school of Atsiekpoe-Vume, and part of the registration fee will be used to realize the lodge.
- Help us build the lodge directly by financing part of the lodge. You can choose what part of the lodge you would like to finance by a donation to our partner organisation, the Stepping Stones for Africa Foundation. The following amounts are still needed:
| Cause | Cost | |
|---|---|---|
| Finishing of two cottages: plastering walls, placing doors and windows | € 80 per cottage | € 160 for two cottages |
| Furnishing the rooms of the cottages with beds, matrasses and mosquito nets | € 85 per room | € 425 for five rooms |
| Placing basic sanitary services: simple toilets and two showers | € 1200 | |
| Kitchen (separate building) | € 400 | |
| River side bar | € 400 |
Your donation will be handled by our partner, the Stepping Stones for Africa Foundation. 100% of your donation will go to the cause of your choice. Of course you can also contribute to the community fund of the village.
