Footsteps Ecolodge is committed to sustainability in every aspect of its operation. The lodge uses renewable energy sources such as solar panels to power its facilities and heat its water. It also collects rainwater for irrigation and flushing toilets. The waste is composted or recycled wherever possible, and the food is sourced from local and organic producers. The lodge also grows its own vegetables and fruits in its garden, which guests can enjoy in their meals or pick for themselves. The lodge also supports local craftspeople and artists by selling their products in its shop and displaying their work in its spaces. Footsteps Ecolodge aims to minimise its environmental impact and maximise its social benefit. The lodge employs local staff and provides them with training and development opportunities. It also hosts events and workshops that showcase local culture, heritage and skills. For example, guests can learn how to make tie-dye fabrics, soap or jewellery from local experts. The lodge also supports local charities and causes by donating a percentage of its profits or organising fundraisers. Footsteps Ecolodge strives to be a positive force in its community and empower its people.
