The organisation set out to promote environmental awareness and education by establishing an ecological visitor centre. The original founders, many of whom remain on the present Board of Directors, drew much of their inspiration from the Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales.
The name Sonairte is derived from a middle Irish word meaning "positive strength", it is also an acronym which encompasses many of the aims of the centre:
Sustainable development
Organic growing
Nature Conservation
Appropriate Technology
Intercultural Exchange
Reconciliation and inner peace
Trading Fairly
Education
