Nika´s Kind Village

Our project is based on raising awareness of the relationship between people and animals. Our goal is also to increase the sense of responsibility for and connection to the environment, and to educate children and adults on healthy plant nutrition. So far, there are a few animal “missionaries” living on the farm: the cow Mama and her calf Nika, the piglets Pepa and Rozi, two mini goats, Tina and Srečka, the turtles Hilda and Pink, and the two kittens Poldi and Nezika.

All breeding animals were rescued from being taken to slaughterhouses or were saved from neglected rearing. You can read
more about them here.

Here’s the description of the purpose of our project:
The world as it is, and life on it, is worth more than gold, so we have to work together for a better tomorrow, for everyone.
The project breathes in the spirit of establishing a better world, which is a very broad concept and we are aware of the dimensions of our vision. And yet, we are optimistic, and we believe that with small steps we can achieve our mission.

We achieve our goals by:

• Raising awareness of the impact of a healthy diet in kindergarden, where we do cooking workshops, mingle and talk with young people about the values that are so self-explanatory – clear water, clean air, domestic food …
• Raising awareness of today’s unnecessarily high plastic consumption, which affects the future of our beautiful planet,
• We discuss the exploitation of people and animals, which lead to the consumeristic society of today, and the ways this can be avoided, because the change always begins within ourselves,
• Appearance at fairs and culinary events, where we present a simple and tasty plant-based diet; We show people that any kind of food can be tasty, we just need to know how to prepare it right or make it look interesting.
• We always point out the injustice whenever humans take control over nature and animals, because we strongly believe it we humans have no right to do so. And that is why we think that the so-called use of animals for the purpose of satisfying our human desires is not necessary and also not fair.

All the projects that we carry out and all of our work have a common belief: that the vegan way of life is the only right way and the most advanced way of living.
