REDES was founded in 2015 by Dr. Ousmane Pame, the former mayor of Gu\u00e9d\u00e9-Chantier and current president of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ecovillage.org\/region\/gen-africa\/\">Global Ecovillage Network <\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ecovillage.org\/region\/gen-africa\/\">Africa<\/a>. The village of Gu\u00e9d\u00e9-Chantier had been operated under ecovillage principles since 2007, and has since become the nucleus of REDES\u2019 network. Since its founding, REDES has not only expanded (currently 141 villages across Senegal and Mauritania, and counting!). it now also includes collaborators and supporters from around the globe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;1&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Best Beans Row&#8221; module_class=&#8221; et_pb_row_fullwidth&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_tablet=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_phone=&#8221;&#8221; max_width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px&#8221; make_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/redes-ecovillages.org\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/20160117_105152-scaled.jpg&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/redes-ecovillages.org\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/femmes_chanteuse.jpg&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/redes-ecovillages.org\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/moundouwaye-003-scaled.jpg&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#fff6ed&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||53px|||&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][et_pb_accordion open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#333333&#8243; closed_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#333333&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;#333333&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; toggle_text_color=&#8221;#333333&#8243; toggle_font=&#8221;Rubik||||||||&#8221; toggle_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; toggle_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; body_font=&#8221;Nunito||||||||&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#666666&#8243; body_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; body_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; body_link_font=&#8221;||||on||||&#8221; body_link_text_color=&#8221;#8A6E50&#8243; background_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221;][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;What is an ecovillage?&#8221; open=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; body_font=&#8221;Nunito|300|||||||&#8221; body_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; body_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; background_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; background_enable_color=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||45px|false|false&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ecovillages are conscious communities emerging all over the world in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ecovillage.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Global Ecovillage Network<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (GEN) that are making a commitment to a more sustainable and just future.\u00a0 While some ecovillages are built from scratch, those in REDES are traditional villages that have chosen to combine modern sustainable and regenerative practices with the strengths of their deep cultural roots and rural quality of life.\u00a0 Ecovillages design themselves through collective, local decision-making to meet human needs such as employment, community, education, and equity, while living sustainably and protecting their natural surroundings.
