OUR APPROACH
OUR MISSION IS TO CONNECT PEOPLE TO THEMSELVES, EACH OTHER AND THE EARTH THROUGH COMMUNITY SERVICE WORK AROUND THE WORLD.
We believe that change takes time, and that only through long-term partnership can deep transformation take place. For this reason, we strive to develop relationships of depth with rural communities around the world. Currently, Conscious Impact is partnered with one community, Takure, a small village in rural Nepal. In the last three years, we have begun to foster dialogue, trust, respect and understanding. We partner with the local community to ensure that our programs are truly helpful, relevant and driven by local leadership from within the community. From this foundation, we are building programs and projects that are inclusive, respectful, conscious and effective. We invite international volunteers of all backgrounds to join our project to offer skilled or unskilled labor, financial donations, and compassionate service to the local community.

NATURAL BUILDING
On April 25, 2015, the 7.8 magnitude "Gorkha Earthquake" destroyed 99% of the homes in Takure and the surrounding communities. Overnight, families were left without homes, Our primary goal has always been to support the home reconstruction effort. With that aim, we focus in three main areas of impact: introduction and educational training of natural building techniques, local production of natural building materials, and distribution of these materials and techniques to local and global communities.
AGRICULTURE
The people of Nepal are farmers. Our goal is to engage farmers of all ages in more profitable farming through the active reforestation of their land and climate change mitigation. We focus on high value trees, most notably coffee, but also citrus and other perennial production. This last year, Conscious Impact distributed more than 3,000 trees, bringing our total to more than 15,000 trees planted with local farmers in the last 4 years. We plan to plant 25,000 trees within 5 years by continuing to engage local farmers.
YOUTH
Our Youth Outreach Program’s goal is to provide extracurricular support to nearby schools at the primary and secondary level. The two main forms of support are environmental education and youth empowerment. Conscious Impact has chosen to support young people to feel more deeply connected to the natural world, and to help cultivate positive, self-confident, and healthy mindsets about themselves and one another.
