Project KaxÄs

Involvements

Project KaxÄs

Project KaxÄs, launched in 2019, is a groundbreaking example of successful rural development in Sweden. With a focus on entrepreneurship and long-term commitment, the project has demonstrated that it is possible to reverse the depopulation of rural areas. In just five years, the village of KaxÄs has grown from under 100 residents to 270, with 80 new children and more on the way.

The project began when the local school faced closure due to depopulation. Today, the school is thriving, a new preschool is under construction, 30 new houses have been built, and 20 existing homes have welcomed young families from across Sweden and Europe.
