 Want to get involved
​Please support our ongoing projects here at Tiger Hill by donating towards any of our projects planned for 2021. We have an ambitious plan to expand one of the farm dams to enable us to support 2 acres of small crops in the future. A bamboo nursery is in its final design stages and awaiting resources to start construction. A new Rocket Mass Water heater is scheduled to build in the summer season and a small stand alone solar system for the Tiger Hill Chalet will allow volunteers and guests a higher level of comfort with lighting and device charging/usage.

Tiger Hill appreciates all considerations to support our projects. We'll update our progress via Instagram and Facebook to you informed.

Our construction style utilizes irrigation pipe and corrugated laserlight.
Rocket mass water heaters are very efficient and sustainable way to heat water remotely.
