Shambani Village, Kenya

Sulawesi, Indonesia

The newly formed Mawa Transformational Community Development (TCD) committee met earlier this month to discuss their previous plans to solve the water supply problem in their village. After counting up the money that all of the families in the community had pitched in, they decided they had enough to begin their ambitious project.

This month, we taught students the value of education, one of the five focusses of Transformational Community Development (TCD). Before, students only studied in school, and after school they would usually just play. At the training, the importance of self study after school was emphasised.  Now the students concentrate on studies after school, as well as play.

This month I reminded people about health and hygiene. Some families like to buy vegetables from the market rather than growing them on their own. I talked to two such families about the difference between conventional vegetables which they eat and organic ones. They were motivated and now grow organic vegetables in their kitchen garden!

Attir Village, Kenya

The drilling of a bore hole in Attir Village with the help of GHNI has borne much fruit. After the villagers cried out that water was a big problem to them, we took the initiative and networked with other organisations that were willing and had the capacity to help the Attir community. Water was drilled and the problem came to an end. Fruits were seen and villagers started farming; thus, one factor of their dependency came to an end because the Attir community was no longer resigned to a pastoral lifestyle.           

Sulawesi Village, Indonesia

This quarter, after a Transformational Community Development (TCD) refresher training with Jeremy and the Polewali team, we were able to conduct a vision seminar over several weeks in Mawa, presenting TCD lessons in the community.  After this vision seminar, the community chose a committee to oversee the TCD program.

Dhoker Jhara Village, India

This quarter we conducted an Awareness Programme by meeting villagers individually as well as in a group. Our focus was to get all villagers on the same page so that they could see the root cause of their problems and take steps to overcome them.
