Program Details

We live Off Grid which in our case it means we are reliant on our solar panels for electricity and we get water from our well or the waterfountain in the town nearby. We aim to be as resourceful as we can. For the toilet we provide a bucket toilet to each person to use in their tent and we also have a toilet tent with a chemical toilet for the volunteers who prefer that option. The luxury at CatsVille is living together with nature.

Fix machines and kitchen appliances that stop working and maintain them functional. We have solar panels, batteries, water pumps, dish washer, clothes washer, clothes dryer, gasoline generator and fridge.

Help build common spaces such as a primitive toilet, outdoor kitchen, wood fired oven, sleeping spaces, improve the parking spot and improving the solar panel system.
