Our history

We meet one fine day in Paris.

It's love at first sight !

​

We discover a common desire: to help people in need.

​

We are both involved with different associations, but realize that we want to have a greater impact.

​

We want things to change, to inspire people to want to live in a world that is more respectful of the environment and more united.

​

And what better way to change things than by being at the heart of the actions carried out?!

​

We set up our project and abandon our individual professional activities to carry it out.

​

We decide to move to Paraguay to carry out our project. Unfortunately, due to Covid, things are not going as planned.

Despite everything, we take the opportunity to explore the country and meet great people.

​

We are building links with small and medium-sized farmers neighboring our own land (family heritage) and the idea already germinating in our heads of setting up a federation is coming to fruition. This system will take the place of cooperatives, an obsolete system, because the head most of the time belongs to politicians or big capitalists motivated by money, and not to farmers.

​

We make the decision to return to live in France. This experience in Paraguay, despite our failure, was very enriching and allowed us to take stock of our project, to finally launch into its first stage: we are opening our import-export company, Santinell Impex, in Paris!

Its goal is to introduce the French to the treasures of Paraguay. In exchange, the income generated will ensure producers and their families have a better quality of life, but also the means to train, obtain equipment and implement ever more eco-responsible practices!

We also have a partnership with the company Grupo Exodo whose revenues finance the survival of the Che Roga orphanage.

​

Our commitment project is becoming more concrete: we organize committed events within our city, to raise awareness of solidarity, respect for the environment, health, and well-being. The town hall and the city's social center support us and collaborate with us in setting up these events.

We are creating our Barco Verde brand!

At the same time, we are opening our subsidiary in Paraguay.

​

We are organizing a new trip of several months to Paraguay to allow us to finish the administrative procedures for our subsidiary in production and export.

We obviously take the opportunity to visit our farmers, the Che Roga orphanage, and be present during our first export!
