WWOOF INDIA GLOBAL VILLAGE

Haldwani , Nainital,

India

We have up WWOOF GLOBAL VILLAGES (WGVs). which serve as meeting point for WWOOFERS in India. The main objective of WGV is that the WOOFERS from different countries will stay and could meet each other here and share their WWOOFING experience in India. At WVG the WWOOFERs could relax from their hectic WWOOFING farm schedule and expected only to work just 3-4 hours daily and are free for lot of sight seeing and travel to places of tourist interest so that they become close to experience the Indian historical and cultural background which they can take back home . The project is situated at Village Surajpura near World famous Khajuraho temple town in MP state in India , which is adjacent to the Ken River and Panna Tiger Reserve.

The proposed WGV in long run would function, evolving into a model of sustainability using traditional knowledge and cultural practices. This would closely work with the farmers in various clusters of villages in development of organic agriculture, education for children, local handicrafts and other village developmental activities. People will stay in the traditional family homes with the family and eat delicious traditional food . The Ultimate goal of the WGV would be to regenerate soil, conserve water, raise the water table, work along “Natural Farming” methods towards a model of self-sufficiency on all fronts.
