FatherLand Ethno-Tourism
FatherLand is an ethno-tourism showcase project to help develop attractive and sustainable tourism experiences through “Yurt Conversion'' trailer kits that offer at least four ecologically-safe toilet options. They will be available to the community at zero investment through “lease to own” or grants to local families in appropriate locations. Additionally, they will demonstrate inclusive practices with 100% of non-reinvested earnings going to the local service providers and to show that ecotourism can be an attraction instead of a financial burden.

Integrated Farm
Integrated CA is processing animal manure in a bio-digester which produces organic fertilizer to restore depleted farmland, and renewable fuel (methane) for heat, cooking and industry – like greenhouses in the harsh winters for year-around vegetable production. Partnering with companies across the ag sector as well as NGO’s, educational, and government entities, Sustainable Farming R&D demonstrates to Kyrgyz farmers a more ecological, effective, and profitable way.
Disability Equality
Global Feather is more than rehabilitation; it’s building community equality for those with disabilities. Job-site consultation provides employed adults with disabilities improved skills and communication with their employers, promoting inclusive decent work for all. Local rehab workers are given special training to provide better care, scale, and sustainability. Group classes also foster a strategy to manage this need within the local community affected.
Co-Working Space
While certain parts of India had already experienced the rise of freelancing and co-working spaces, other regions found it difficult to embrace freelancing, especially among women. In the eyes of those around them, freelancers are often seen as lazy and foolish, bringing shame to the family. Their choice of profession is therefore risky and because of the lack of support and exposure to opportunities, many creatives become discouraged and give up, losing much of their passion and potential to the demands of family and society.
