About Our Managing Director & Eco-Build Engineer
My path to founding V7 Projects began with an unyielding belief: true empowerment happens when communities are given the tools to build their own future.
With a background as an environmental engineer, years of rigorous leadership in the military, and experience managing high-stakes operations in the superyacht industry, I spent my career executing complex, detail-critical projects across the globe. But while working in remote coastal and rural areas, I kept seeing the same heartbreaking cycle—rural women with immense resilience, yet sidelined from economic opportunity and basic structural resources.
I realized that standard charity wasn't the answer; self-reliance was.
Combining engineering principles, sustainable material science, and hands-on leadership, I created the V7 model. By teaching women how to build with COB, bamboo, and hempcrete, we don't just put roofs over heads—we foster local enterprise, dignity, and lifelong independence.
Eco Building Skills
Women learn to design and build healthy, low-cost homes using cob, bamboo, and hempcrete. Training combines hands-on practice, safety, and basic project management, so every wall raised becomes a step toward stable income, local jobs, and climate-friendly housing for families who stay rooted in their village.
Village Seven-Element Blueprint
Each V7 Village grows one school, one clinic, one café, one workshop, one sports field, one organic farm, and one lake with livestock. Women take leading roles in planning and running these places, turning shared land into education, health, food, and income for the entire community.
Women's Enterprise And Organic Products
Local women turn village harvests and traditional crafts into 100 percent organic products, skincare, herbal drinks, spices, and handmade art. We offer training, branding support, and links to city outlets and online markets, so every sale brings steady income back into rural households and future village projects.
