Planet earth and your health
This guiding principle has been with us for several years now. At the European Ayurveda Resort Sonnhof, we not only want to do something good for our guests, but also make a positive difference outside the resort. A few years ago, we decided to join the charity project "A new school for Burkina Faso". In 2019/2020, we were able to donate €5 per booked Panachakarma treatment to the children's school project, bringing our total donation to €3,450. It makes us happy and proud at the same time that we were able to contribute to the construction of the new school.
We are once again involved in a project. Our mission is to support sustainable programs and together with our official partner, Impact Hero, make a big contribution to a more sustainable future. To make a positive impact, we donate €5 per course to "Grow my Tree" so that new trees can be planted while raising awareness of the importance of sustainable development. In doing so, we not only promote the growth of healthy forests in collaboration with local communities, but also help in the fight against climate change and create new habitats for animals.
