What is this project all about?
Our project is about offering people a solid basis for life. On the one hand, through meaningful work in a healthy context, and on the other, through the living, learning and working spaces that result from this work, namely ecologically sustainable and architecturally valuable buildings.
What is the project goal and who is the project for?
Our vision is to be an inspiration for the building sector with our work, minimizing the emissions, waste and energy consumption of the construction industry and the existing building stock through consciously chosen and consciously used building materials and resources.
Our next concrete goal is the realization of an apartment building with twelve affordable housing units for SEKEM employees and their families.
The construction industry is responsible worldwide for:
approx. 60% of consumption of resources
approx. 50% of waste generation
> 35% of energy consumption
> 50% of emissions

This is a crowdfunding for "a third party": I am seeking crowdfunding on my behalf to support the "Sustainable Building in Desert Areas" project, which I am passionate about and committed to. The project for which the funding is to be collected is managed by the SEKEM Initiative under the company "Eco Energy For Technology" in the EcoConstruction division with headquarters in Egypt and for this reason cannot become active as a starter on Startnext itself. 100% of the collected funds are planned for direct transfer to "Eco Energy For Technology" and thus as support for the project "Sustainable Building in Desert Areas" in the field of EcoConstruction.
Es handelt sich hierbei um ein Crowdfunding für "einen Dritten": Ich bemühe mich in meinem Namen um ein Crowdfunding als Unterstützung des Projekts "Sustainable Building in Desert Areas", für das ich mich begeistere und engagiere. Das Projekt, für das das Funding gesammelt werden soll, wird von der SEKEM Initiative unter der Firma "Eco Energy For Technology" im Bereich EcoConstruction mit Firmensitz in Ägypten geführt und kann auf Grund dessen nicht selbst als Starter auf Startnext aktiv werden. 100% der gesammelten Gelder sind für die direkte Weiterüberweisung an "Eco Energy For Technology" und damit als Unterstützung des Projekts "Sustainable Building in Desert Areas" im Bereich EcoConstruction geplant.
