Dutch by birth, cosmologist by training, educator and international educational author by early profession, Dr Marc van Loo and his wife Isabelle Lacoste (the “Loo” and “La”) opened LooLa Adventure Resort in 2000 – which went on to become the world’s most highly decorated eco resort.
Spurred on by the preventable death of the daughter of LooLa’s cook, LooLa’s team – together with LooLa’s guests and a growing list of company and university sponsors – then developed the world’s most compact and cost-efficient sanitation systems, the Safe Water Garden (SWG). More than 500 such systems have been installed in family homes and schools, the Indonesian government recognised the potential of the SWG to solve the rural sanitation problem and declared it fit for us in 2020, and we’re now working with government, companies and passionate individuals to achieve our goal: all Indonesian villagers on safe water and sanitation by 2027!
We invite you -our guests- to join us in this journey towards a better world: visit an Indonesian family and help build an SWG - half a day is all it takes!
