Community Motivation and Participation (EBPP)
We work with the community to identify their problems and develop attainable goals in accordance with their aspirations. They participate fully in implementing sustainable programs; empowering them towards self-reliance.
Field Staff (EBPP)
All our field staff joined us first as volunteers and were only taken on as staff members after they had proved their commitment to helping in the sustainable development. Many have been sent on training programs to improve their own abilities and also so they can then transfer their new knowledge to the community of Desa Ban. Training courses have focused on various aspects of organic farming, health and nutrition, appropriate building technology, accounting procedures and teacher training as well as English language training.
