Women’s Empowerment Centre, Afghanistan

The Women’s Empowerment Centre (WEC 1) project will end next year. So far, lots of Transformational Community Development (TCD) lessons have been taught on sustainability. Recently, a Computer Centre was started, we are asking the women and students to run the Centre when the official partnership ends.

North Thailand TCD Expansion

UV Village*, Sri Lanka

We visited the children’s parents’ homes recently to inform them that tutoring classes would resume. We were surprised to see the smiling faces of so many children! We can accommodate all of them, and we informed the teachers to maintain a one-meter distance from each other as requested by the government. The distancing is not a problem, as the veranda is large.

Before the new tutoring classes began, we visited the parents of the village to inform them that the classes will be at the same location as before. The government required students and teachers to remain at least one meter apart.

Village Outreach

RM Village*, Nepal

Though the life of the villagers is being affected by the shutdown in our country and in my village because of the coronavirus, we have been able to carry out some field activities. The community members have started microbusinesses in order to be self-sufficient and people are learning about sanitation and how to stay healthy.

MH Village*, Myanmar

Myanmar has been encountering the second wave of the coronavirus. The number of positive cases has been soaring daily after almost 100 days without new local transmission. This has caused social concerns, food insecurity, unemployment, and societal problems over again. Schools have been closed again across the country. In addition, a few states and other places have been under lockdown due to the spread of the virus. 

Polewali, Indonesia

GHNI has been working in Polewali Village for the last year, mostly in areas of economic development through coconut processing as well as clean water sources. However, without a water source nearby, we have recently focused on educating the children with the help of our Education Committee.
