Welcome to Per Auset, a regenerative village and cultural restoration project located on an ancient island in the Nile. We are working to restore the old houses and make the island green and lush again.
The vision is to feed the entire village (over 100 people) from our garden.
So a massive part of the land will be for permaculture and fruit trees.
Moreover, we plan to plant more than 5000 trees in the near future.

Guided by Mostafa, Jasmeen, and Chris, our mission is to breathe life back into a once-deserted Nubian village. Honoring its heritage while cultivating a thriving, sustainable future.
Our Vision: We are restoring the village, planting 5,000 trees, and creating abundant gardens that will one day nourish a community of 100 people. This is more than a project; it is a living temple of regeneration, where ancient wisdom meets modern sustainability. We invite volunteers who are skilled, self-aware, and genuinely dedicated to hands-on work, learning, and cultural exchange.
Life at Per Auset: We live as a family, in a rhythm guided by the sun and the Nile. We share simple, healthy, mostly plant-based meals together, often home-cooked with vegetables from our gardens. Food time is sacred here: a moment to connect, laugh, and share reflections.
You'll sleep in shared rooms with shared bathrooms, or you can camp by the Nile or between magical rocks if you prefer. We live close to nature, swimming, meditating, or watching the golden sunset over the river is part of daily life.
We are currently welcoming volunteers with skills and passion in:
- Permaculture & Gardening: Creating new food forests, vegetable gardens, and Blue Lotus ponds.
- Natural Building & Finishing & Architecture: Artistic wall painting, decoration, and adding creative touches to our homes and lunch area.
