Healthy Living Village
Self-sufficient community model powered by sustainable energy and local production
Project Governance and Roles
- Project owner and implementation lead: Healthy Living Foundation.
- IYF role: supports the initiative through its volunteer-based international network and contributes to wellbeing-related content, engagement, and visibility.
- Financial note: IYF does not manage, receive, or administer funds for the Healthy Living Village project.
This clarification is provided for transparency and public information and supports clear role separation across partner institutions.
Overview
Healthy Living Village is a pilot initiative designed as a self-sufficient village model that integrates wellbeing, ecological living, and community resilience through practical systems connecting housing, food, energy, water, and social life.
The village includes log houses and one main building, supported by on-site water supply, water treatment, renewable energy (wind and solar), vertical farming for local food production, and beekeeping to support biodiversity and sustainable livelihoods.
Initiative milestone note: the first land donation for the village was completed in 2024. Construction started and accelerated in 2025, with completion planned for 2026.
Built for self-sufficiency
Energy, water, food, and daily living systems are designed to work together.
Sustainable energy
Wind and solar power reduce external dependency and environmental impact.
Scalable pilot
The model is planned to be replicated in multiple locations after the pilot.
