Casa Congo

Casa Congo Empowering communities through conservation

Casa Congo is a sustainability hub where local communities and international experts come together to create projects that address challenges in climate change, social inequality and economic development. Our facilities currently comprise of a school, a bamboo workshop, a lodge and a community centre managed by 2 women cooperatives, Las Flores and Las Tejedoras. Las Flores lead our agroecology and land restoration program, whilst Las Tejedoras transform waste into stunning art installations. Through a circular model, our vision is to foster the socio-economic recovery of Nicaragua, whilst also restoring the natural environment. We promote global knowledge sharing and welcome all people from everywhere to join the Casa Congo movement and make an impact.

Here's to the 3 inspiring souls who, with their unique personality and contributions, have truly left their mark at .

Over the past month, we had the awesome experience of having three amazing young women as volunteers. Each one brings with her a unique story, distinct characteristics, and a personality all her own. Yet, what binds them together is the indelible mark they have left through their dedicated contributions.

They came from different corners of the world, each driven by a passion for conservation and a desire to make a positive impact. Despite their diverse backgrounds, they seamlessly blended their strengths to create a powerful force for change, joining forces in projects that spanned agroecology, reforestation, and architecture.

Each one, in her own way, has enriched Casa Congo and reinforced the belief that diversity, when harnessed together, creates an unstoppable force for positive change.

We're grateful for the passion and dedication they brought to our conservation efforts!

In questi giorni abbiamo avuto il piacere di ospitare , un talentuoso chef italiano che ha condiviso la sua conoscenza gastronomica con la comunità di El Astillero 🇮🇹

Lodo ha portato un assaggio d'Italia in Nicaragua, tra sorrisi e incredibili sapori. La cucina di era piena di risate, scoperte culinarie ma soprattutto del delizioso aroma di pasta e pizza fatte in casa 🍝🍕

Crediamo che il cibo crei punti di contatto tra culture distanti, avvicinandoci in modi inaspettati. Le lezioni di cucina sono state un'esperienza memorabile per tutti i partecipanti.

Siamo incredibilmente grati per i momenti condivisi e la gioia che quest'incontro ci ha regalato.

Stay tuned per scoprire nuove avventure mentre continuiamo a costruire connessioni speciali 🌍💚
