We’re creating a space where the elderly can thrive, refugees find opportunity, and the Salento community grows stronger.\n\nTraditional elder care often overlooks the bigger picture: community well-being and environmental health. Masseria Jabali changes that. By employing and training English speaking refugees, supporting local economies, and prioritizing regeneration, we deliver high-quality care for seniors with dementia while creating rural jobs in the  region. This isn’t just a care home—it’s a regenerators’ hub, fostering hope, connection, and renewal.\n\nWith your support, we’re taking this vision to the next level. Funds from this round will refine our strategy and spark community engagement, proving that elder care can be a catalyst for broader good.\n\n---\n\n### What We’re Building\n\nMasseria Jabali combines rustic Italian charm with purpose:  \n- **Care with Dignity**: Private rooms and 24/7 personalized support for seniors with dementia, including medication reminders, meal assistance, and a clean, safe environment—because they can’t live unsupervised anymore.  \n- **Social Impact**: Jobs and training for refugees, integrating them into the workforce and enriching our community with diverse perspectives.  \n- **Ecological Renewal**: Solar power, water recycling, and fresh food from our syntropic farm.  \n- **Local Boost**: Engagement with Salento’s farmers, artisans, and businesses to rivitalize the regional economy.  \n\nOur current working business plan is live [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EsvW0A00MakukiSitNEbvnUMku3SYY9uX56jQkBvwsI/edit?usp=sharing)—a foundation we’re ready to polish and expand.\n\n---\n\n### Why This Matters\n\nElder care can do more than meet basic needs—it can regenerate communities and landscapes. Too often, facilities focus solely on profit or bare-minimum services, ignoring the potential for wider impact. We see a different path: a retreat that heals people *and* places. By weaving together senior care, refugee empowerment, and green practices, we’re testing a model that others can follow.  \n\nThis funding round is our chance to prove it works—and share the blueprint with Salento’s regenerators.\n\n---\n\n### How We’ll Use the Funds\n\nWe’re not just dreaming big—we’re planning smart. Here’s how we’ll put your contributions to work over the next few months:\n\n#### Phase 1: Refine the Vision (Business Plan Development)  \n- **Goal**: Create a polished, submittable business plan to unlock EU and regional grants for Masseria Jabali’s growth.  \n- **What We’ll Do**:  \n  - Hire experts in grant writing and elder care policy to enhance our [current plan](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EsvW0A00MakukiSitNEbvnUMku3SYY9uX56jQkBvwsI/edit?usp=sharing).  \n  - Add detailed financial projections, impact metrics (e.g., jobs created, carbon reduced), and a roadmap for scaling our refugee integration and sustainability efforts.  \n  - Tailor the plan to specific EU programs (e.g., Horizon Europe, Puglia Regional Development Funds) with clear eligibility criteria met.  \n- **Outcome**: A professional, grant-ready document that secures funding to build out our retreat and amplify its impact.\n\n#### Phase 2: Engage the Community (Lecce Event)  \n- **Goal**: Host a 1-day event in Lecce, Italy, for 20–35 locals passionate about regeneration, teaching them how to turn ideas into funded projects.  \n- **Format**:  \n  - **Morning Session**: “Imagining Regeneration in Salento”  \n    - Interactive discussion led by Masseria Jabali founders on what renewal looks like—restored land, thriving communities, and inclusive economies.  \n    - Guest speakers: a representative of [GUS](https://www.gus-italia.org/).  \n  - **Afternoon Workshop**: “Writing a Winning Business Plan”  \n    - Hands-on training with grant experts on crafting professional plans for EU and regional funding.  \n    - Focus on practical steps: defining goals, budgeting, and measuring impact.  \n    - Participants draft mini-plans for their own regeneration ideas (e.g., eco-tourism, community gardens).  \n  - **Evening Wrap-Up**: Networking dinner with attendees, speakers, and Masseria Jabali staff to build a regenerators’ network.  \n- **Outcome**: Empowered locals with the tools to launch their own projects, plus a stronger community connection to Masseria Jabali’s mission.\n\n---\n\n### Key Deliverables\n\n1. **A Robust Business Plan**:  \n   - A comprehensive, grant-eligible document ready for EU and regional submissions by August 2025.  \n   - Includes detailed strategies for elder care, refugee integration, and ecological goals, backed by data and stakeholder input.  \n\n2. **A Community Event**:  \n   - A successful Lecce gathering with 20–35 attendees, sparking regeneration ideas and equipping participants with business planning skills.  \n   - Follow-up report shared with Gitcoin backers: attendance stats, participant feedback, and next steps for Salento’s regenerators.\n\n---\n\n### Why Back Us?\n\nWe’re showing how elder care can lift up overlooked groups, heal the environment, and inspire a region. Your support doesn’t just fund a retreat center for the elderly; it fuels a ripple effect of good.  \n\n- **For Seniors**: A tangible solution to the elderly care crisis;\n- **For Refugees**: A tangible solution to the refugee integration crisis happening throughout Europe.\n- **For Salento**:    ~ One organization with the potential to create hundreds of caretakers that will work in the region and lead stable lives with healthcare professions.\n   ~ For the abandoned ulivetti and vineyards of Salento that need TLC to adapt for the desertification of the Mediterannean brought upon by climate change.\n- **For You**: A chance to back a Web3-aligned vision where impact meets innovation.\n\n---\n\n### The Bigger Picture\n\nThis is our first step toward a replicable model. A refined business plan and a community event will unlock grants for land purchasing to fully build Masseria Jabali—then we’ll share our learnings. Imagine similar retreats across Europe, each a hub of care and regeneration. That’s the protopian future we’re hacking toward, one Puglia sunrise at a time.\n\n---\n\n### Fine Print\n\n- **Timeline**: 3–6 months from funding to deliverables (plan by month 3, event by month 6).  \n- **Who We Need**: Backers who care about social impact, sustainability, and community-driven solutions. This isn’t a quick flip—it’s a thoughtful build.  \n- **Contact**: @regenagvocate on Twitter or check our informational website (coming soon) @ jabali.it\n\n", "logoImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "regenagvocate"}
