Nido Alliance / Ayni Support Network
Ayni Support Network
Today for you,
tomorrow for me
A club of farms, families and neighbours who lend each other a hand. Come to one minga and you're in the Network: you can ask for one on your farm.
Two mingas done in Pijao: a house demolished and cleared to start again, and a bird trail with its signs. See how the last one went ↓

How it went

Keep learning after the minga: a proposed birding alliance and farms that care for birds and pollinators.
The club
First you come, then you belong
Ayni: today I help you, tomorrow you help me. Being in the Network is free. You only have to come.
Come to a minga
Sign up and we'll write to you on WhatsApp with the place and time. You don't need to know how to build.
You're in the Network
Your first minga opens your Ayni account: mingas, hours given and received. Private: yours and the organisers' only.
Ask for a minga on your farm
«I need to install a water tank; with ten people it takes a day.» The Network shows up.
Hands for your farm
The call-out, the sancocho and the tools.
The pot
Sancocho nights just for the Network, with Sancocho Club.
Saber Vivo, live
Workshops on guadua, bahareque, planting and birds. Growing and caring for the farm · Sharing materials and tools.
Seeds and cuttings
From the biofactory and the living fences, for the Network.
Shared tools
Lent for your own minga.
The patch
Hand-sewn, one for every five mingas.

What the Network has done
Mingas on farms are published after they happen, never beforehand with their location.
Before you go
There is a place for your hands
Do I need to know how to build?
You can help with planting, cooking, carpentry, music, art or whatever is needed. Tell us what you know how to do when you sign up.
How do I know where to go and what to bring?
The team confirms the meeting point, time and tools on WhatsApp 24 to 48 hours before. You can say whether you need transport when you sign up.
What happens after I sign up?
The team contacts you to coordinate your participation. If there are more people than places, you go on a waiting list. Your contact details are not published.
