August - Dezember 2022
In 2018 students of BASEhabitat designed a permaculture centre for agriculture in Thailand. In 2022 participants of the postgraduate programme went there to designe and build the first prototype of four guest houses. In recent years our partner NGO BAAN DOI has been able to produce organic food and show how agriculture can be done in harmony with nature. In this context, the four planned guesthouses will represent not only accommodation for visitors to the agricultural centre but also a source of income for the NGO.
BAAN DOI is an NGO located in Thailand‘s Chiang Rai province, where the borders of Laos and Myanmar meet. Near the border town of Mae Sai, the NGO runs a home for 20 orphans and offers projects for underprivileged children in the region. Barbara Meisl cofounded the NGO over 15 years ago and her goal is to give young people a good education and job opportunities for their future.
