The Olives...

The Ancient Symbol of Peace

Olive trees are renowned for their ability to thrive for centuries, regenerating even under the toughest conditions. This remarkable resilience mirrors our commitment to empowering communities in Mexico, helping them overcome challenges and flourish. We believe in the transformative power of education to regenerate communities, much like the olive tree that springs anew from the earth.


At The Olive Shed, we are inspired by the enduring legacy of the olive tree—a symbol of peace, wisdom, and resilience. Our mission is to seek out and target smaller community needs in Mexico where we can provide Engineering, Health & Educational solutions to benefit their specific needs & improve the community. And make a positive difference for those in need.

The Mission

Providing Opportunities for Youth Empowerment Through Olive Shed Initiatives

At The Olive Shed, we are dedicated to empowering the next generation of leaders through hands-on learning and community-building. After our successful initiative to provide backpacks and school supplies to underserved children in Los Cabos, Mexico, we’ve expanded our focus to support local youth programs that promote teamwork, skill development, and environmental sustainability.


Our flagship project introduces GILAYO®—a steel modular system that can be assembled into a variety of structures such as cabins, storage units, garages, and more. With the creation of GILAYO® JUNIOR, a smaller-scale version of this innovative system, we’re excited to give young people the opportunity to build and create. These units will be donated to youth programs, where children will work together to assemble them. This hands-on experience will teach them valuable construction skills, foster teamwork, and provide them with the tools they need to succeed in future ventures.


The best part? These structures will be used by the children in their future adventures, giving them not just a physical space, but a sense of ownership and pride in what they’ve created. As they preserve the natural beauty around them and learn sustainable building practices, they’ll develop a deeper connection to their environment.
