🇬🇪 ESC Volunteering in Georgia 🌿 Organic Farming, Ecological Solidarity & Rural Community Support 🔥

A bio-farm in the Kakheti region, families who had to leave their homes because of natural disasters, and a group of volunteers from across Europe working side by side to help rebuild something sustainable. This ESC team project in Georgia is not about a picturesque countryside experience — it is about solidarity with people who genuinely need it.

International Scout Centre Rustavi, coordinated by Radi Vidi Pats, is hosting Fruits and Campfire: Summer 2026— a group ESC volunteering project bringing together 15 volunteers from Georgia, Latvia, and other EU countries to support ecological migrants from the Adjara and Svaneti regions at the Kveda Pona Bio-Farm in the Kakheti region of Georgia.

What Is This Project About?

The project provides practical support to people who were forced to leave their homes due to natural disasters. The focus is on agricultural livelihoods — working on a certified organic bio-farm that produces food for the local community. Volunteers contribute directly to farm operations over 16 days of planned activities, living and working together in an international team in a rural Georgian setting far from city noise.

🌱 Young people with fewer opportunities are especially encouraged to apply.
