Intro

We're forming a positive community with unity and purpose.

Building community from inspiration isn't easy. But if it's your passion, you put in the work. Read our talking points to learn more about our plans and let us know if we share synergy of thought. Also read this excellent explanation of what an Intentional Community is all about.

"It's my hope to collaborate with co-creators to create a small, inviting, nurturing space for our guests and a place we can all call home, complete with an innovative renewable energy learning center."

Environment

We've already acquired property on the Pacific Coast of Ecuador that will accomodate 4 housing units, community garden and a community resource building.

Development

During preliminary planning we've created designs for 4 Bamboo-CSIP panel casitas. Some infrastructure is already in place and we'll supplement with renewables as we grow.

Execution

Once we've assembled our team of talented and dedicated co-creators, we'll take action to reach our shared goals at Kerawa and break ground in the Spring of 2024 or sooner.

Get Ready to explore Ecuador!

1We're close to key attractions
From the Guayaquil International Airport, you can fly directly to the Galapagos Islands. We're located on the Pacific Coast of Ecuador 5 minutes from a secluded beach with opportunities to view annual whale migrations and Isla de Plata, our "Little Galapagos". Just North of Kerawa is the Pacoche Coastal Marine Wildlife Refuge, one of the most breathtaking landscapes in all of Ecuador, considered to be one of the most biologically diverse regions in the world. The Machallia National Park is also a nearby scenic destination on the Pacific Coast. We are planning to break ground in 2024. Come grow with us!

Renewable Energy Workshops

In addition to growing our small community, a key component is offering training for our guests wanting to acquire skills in the renewable energy sector. At Kerawa, we'll offer onsite Solar workshops focused on offgrid power solutions to equip a new generation with the knowledge and skills to develop their own level of energy independence. Virtual Offgrid Solar Workshops are also available for those who are unable to visit us onsite. We'll also offer our branded, locally assembled Portable Solar Generators as an additional means to support and grow Kerawa.
