Earth Prayers - Newsletter - March 2026

We wish you a good start into the month of March and much strength, endurance, and devotion so that you may continue to work and shine in the world with your heart. Let us not forget: diamonds are cut under very high pressure, and lotus flowers bloom out of the mud.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for our shared work here on Earth! This month we will once again be supporting **5 wonderful projects** together with our funds and our very best wishes. … Projects in Austria, in Ghana, in Gambia and two in Venezuela!

At the end of February we received touching words and pictures from two of the projects we support. Let these images and words speak to us.

These words reached us from the Brikama Verein (Austria, Gambia):

"The school was able to tile a third classroom, extend the playground and build a toilet. This means that the Education Department in Gambia is also satisfied, as all the requirements have now been met.

The school, the children along with the teachers and families, are delighted about this step forward and would like to sincerely thank the Earth Prayer Movement for the support during the implementation process! It feels good to be part of this community and it gives us strength for the upcoming tasks and goals!"

Vanessa from Venezuela, who was already supported a year ago for her self-employment in the production of natural cosmetics, now sends these words of gratitude:

"Dear friends of the Earth Prayers Movement, I greet you warmly. Even though it has already been a year since I received your support, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you. At the very moment this support arrived, I was in a complicated health situation that required all my attention and dedication. Thank God, everything turned out well and I was able to continue on my path of healing.

I was able to acquire many materials and tools that I needed to strengthen my business, and for the first time I was able to establish a constant production, which has allowed me to get back on my feet and stand firm. The road is long, but this impulse was truly a blessing for me and my children, and for that I am infinitely grateful.

I hug you all tightly and wish this project, which has brought hope to many places, a long life, with all my love.

Vanessa"

Now let’s move on to the 5 projects of this month. As you know, at Earth Prayers it works in such a way that every week of the year one project, one person, one vision is supported. Each week a project in the current thematic area is nourished. The Earth Prayers cycle consists of 7 thematic areas — every week this cycle advances by one thematic area, and precisely in that thematic area a project is selected, which is then supported.

🌞 2.–8.3.2026 ~ Free development for children ~ Kindergruppe Waldweg ~ Tipi ~ Austria ❤️

The Kindergruppe Waldweg, located between St. Pölten and Krems, has existed since 2014. It is run as an association and currently cares for 30 children with seven part-time educators.

One of the main goals of this children’s group is to let children be themselves, to learn how to resolve conflicts, and to apply wilderness pedagogy, Montessori principles, nonviolent communication, and many other tools from various areas of pedagogy.

State funding and parental contributions are not sufficient for some repairs and new acquisitions. The current need is to purchase a new tipi or a large tarpaulin as a shelter.

We would love to support the purchase of this new tipi from the bottom of our hearts! It is so valuable when children spend a lot of time in nature and in community – under the care of loving, competent educators!

🌞 9.–15.3.2026 ~ Holistic Health ~ Santuario Wellness Mérida ~ Venezuela ❤️

Richard Durán is following his calling and wants to open a Wellness Sanctuary in Mérida, a space for healing and reconciliation for the people of Venezuela. For many years, division and separation have been omnipresent in Venezuela. This is where Richard wants to start. The land, the building, and the vision are already there. Now it’s about the finishing touches so that this wellness center can open its doors.

The following is intended to happen in this place:

• Healing of emotional and spiritual wounds

• Regaining inner strength

• Finding a new life vision

• Feeling safe, accompanied, and held

* … Reintegration to support the rebuilding and restoration of the country.

Approximately $2,400 is still needed for painting the walls, sanding the floors, constructing a bathroom, building a roof for an outdoor kitchen, erecting a fence, and purchasing mattresses and yoga mats.

Richard also wants to make this place a branch of the Earth Prayers consciousness in Venezuela! Of course, this makes us very happy! Especially in Venezuela, our community has already nurtured so many beautiful projects.

From the bottom of our hearts, we are happy to support the realization of this vision by contributing to the completion of the seminar room!

🌞 16.–22.3.2026 ~ Heart’s Desires ~ Guardians of Nature ~ Roof Repair ~ Venezuela ❤️

At the beginning of March, we were already able to send half of the required funds for this project to Venezuela. Now in the month of March, we are supporting once again for the second time to complete the roof repair.

Gualtiero and Natalia are the guardians of a two-hectare forest in the Venezuelan Andes. Gualtiero has already been living in this place for 40 years. The two live a life in harmony with nature. They practice traditional, ancestral Andean agriculture—known as “Conuco”—and, among other things, produce essential oils.

It has not been easy to protect two hectares of pristine forest amidst surrounding agricultural operations. Yet for Gualtiero and Natalia it is so important that they have succeeded. Some of the neighboring farmers would have liked to turn it into cow pastures.

The family home has suffered major damage to the roof. This is a serious problem, especially since rainfall in this region can be very heavy and persistent. If the roof cannot be repaired, sooner or later the entire house will fall victim to the rain.

The economic situation in Venezuela has allowed the couple to survive for years, but not to repair the damage that has occurred to the house roof. Around 1,200 euros are needed to make the roof watertight again and thus sustainably enable the continued work of these two wonderful people.

From the bottom of our hearts, we are happy to support this cause for the second time!

🌞 23.–29.3.2026 ~ Free Seeds ~ Tilo Food Forest ~ Ghana ❤️

Adime and Jasper approached us because they are looking for support for the wonderful project Tilo Food Forest. Adime has already planted 0.5 hectares of cocoa and edible forest. The two plan to plant another 2 hectares of trees, papayas, and cocoa trees this May.

The cocoa plants are grown by the two themselves from natural seeds. Jasper is currently staying with Adime as a volunteer helper. He is part of the FoodForestNetwork association in Berlin. In the world’s second-largest cocoa-producing country, a flagship project for organic and regenerative cocoa cultivation is to be created on Adime’s land, because the majority of cocoa cultivation areas here are currently sprayed with numerous pesticides, which is not sustainable in the long term for the land and the people.

Through the Tilo Food Forest, Adime aims to sustainably make a living from organic, regenerative agriculture and at the same time inspire surrounding farmers to return to natural and sustainable cultivation methods!

From the bottom of our hearts, we are delighted to support this wonderful project!

🌞 30.3.–5.4.2026 ~ Sustainable Agriculture ~ Sang Jatta Farming ~ Gambia ❤️

Sang is a farmer in Gambia and lives with his wife and their five children. Life is hard, and he wishes for support so that his fields can thrive a little more easily and productively.

He would like to dig a well so that he no longer has to transport water manually, bucket by bucket. His second wish is to fence in the field to protect it from grazing cows and goats. As fertilizer, he uses cow and goat manure on his field.

Around 1,000 euros are needed to make both of the wishes mentioned above possible. From the bottom of our hearts, we are happy to support Sang Jatta and his family in this endeavor!

Now we come to the figures from last month. Wonderful, what we can once again send out into the world with our combined forces!

Warm regards!
