We are supporting local communities to live on their own by helping

them create social enterprises and cooperatives, which are the basis of

sustainable communities.

The case in point is Café de gisagara, which is a social enterprise selling coffee

cherries established by good neighbors in rwanda in 2014. The gisagara

district of rwanda is near Mukiza where good neighbors CDP(Community

Development Project) is being carried out. The area is known for its excellence

in coffee cherries. Some cooperative members, however, were suffering from

poor money circulation. The members were not paid until the coffee cherries

that they had bought in advance were sold. They had to almost give up the

business because they were always in great shortage

of cash. in addition, the lack of

Self-reliance is the ability to depend on yourself and stand on your own feet. it encompasses the

willingness and persistence to overcome existing obstacles. We have sought good change of local

communities with sustainable development achieved by good neighbors who are eager to learn and

work hard to generate income.

WHAT IS NEEDED mOST IN COmmUNITIES?

knowledge on coffee farming led to unguaranteed quality, which, in

turn, caused low income. We recognized those problems and founded Café

de gisagara to provide practical support for the community.

To fix the problems arising from those cooperatives, Café de Gisagara

imparted knowledge related to coffee farming from growing to harvesting

to local communities while stabilizing facilities and enhancing technologies

through a long-term lease of the primary processing facility called Washing

Station. it all led to higher yield and quality, which resulted in income

generation.

Café de gisagara paid cash right away for the coffee cherries that the

members sold in advance. They used to suffer from the shortage of cash,

which directly led to their living conditions. They had to wait for a long

time to have cash in their hands because they sold raw coffee cherries

to middlemen or processing company at a low price or in exchange for a

promissory note where they could not receive payment until their products

were actually bought by global consumers. however, the new system

of payment ensured a stable economic life for the farmers. Café

de gisagara is expected to increase the yield of coffee cherries

from 1.13kg to 3kg per tree through more advanced farming

techniques, helping the cooperative members to stand on

their own feet economically.

“Thank you for opening a door to sell my coffee

cherries. It is a great help for me”

GOOD NEIGHBORS SOCIaL ECONOmIC DEvELOpmENT

[SERIES]

Good Neighbors field countries has cooperatives, groups aimed at income

generation based on the leadership of local communities.

The Thmar Koul CDP in Cambodia has a total of 98 local communities as

cooperative members. The Thmar Koul CDP of good neighbors Cambodia

has been networking with district governments, with a view to improving

the livelihood of local communities since May 2015. They have conducted

income generation projects via micro business plans designed to educate

the participants on how to manage savings and revolving funds and how to

calculate profits and losses of business.

Mr. PUY Pirom(47) is living with his wife Dara(45) and four children at Takrom

village in Cambodia. he started to grow rice, but there was still a long way

to go in terms of income generation. That is why his 22-year-old eldest one

began to work at a factory and his second daughter(15) had to quit school.

Mr. Pirom received training as a member of CDC to overcome the economic

difficulties. He chose sugarcane instead of rice, which helped his income

to grow incrementally. he had never grown sugarcane, but he learned

how to grow them, make juice with them, and sell them for profit from the

Community Development Program manager. When he was suggested to

join the CDC from the village leader, he was worried about an uncertain

future. now, however, he can smile, he and his wife earn in average 50,000-

60,000 riels (USD $15) per day.

Good Neighbors helps with the establishment of fledgling cooperatives,

supports cooperative members to lead overall operation and fund

management, and takes initiative in founding social enterprises to support

cooperative activities.

To achieve effective results, good neighbors should provide constant

assistance for technical matters while encouraging cooperative members to

have the will to survive and the voluntary participation to grow and attract

more support from others in order to run better cooperatives and create

better local environments.

The hard work and attempts to stand on one’s own feet is bringing about

change little by little to local communities and cooperative members. And

next to them is the social enterprise of good neighbors. good neighbors

will continue to be with those taking the opportunity and walking toward

sustainable growth in earnest with great hope in their mind for a better

future.

good neighbors has established and operated four social enterprises including Mongolia, Cambodia,

nepal, and rwanda. good neighbors are pursuing social economic development based on voluntary

economic activities of local communities powered by cooperation and self-reliance of the local

communities. Our social economic development is divided into income generation via cooperatives

and social enterprise projects, also including appropriate technology projects.

* Social economic development seeks to maintain a balanced perspective on social and economic values and pursues income generation and a better economic structure of local communities.

WHy IS KUNDI WEaRING a CaLaBaSH NECKLaCE? BY KUHWAN CHUNG / gOOD neighBOrS inTernATiOnAL

[FIELD REPORT 1]

in Tanzania, this is not a story only limited to Kundi. There are many families

that experienced maternal or child death even though they used health

centers in their villages. The small health centers lack prescription drugs and

medical personnel. The facilities are too decrepit to cope with emergencies

when pregnant patients are in urgent need of medical surgeries. Many

times, in addition, pregnant women did not have enough information on

how to deal with a series of unexpected problems that could happen during

the whole process of labor and delivery.

The Tanzanian government took measures by having two Community health

Workers (ChWs) elected in each village to take care of pregnant women, but

the policy was not properly implemented due to limited budget and human

resources. even the ChWs were deployed, they were not able to get their job

done adequately.

good neighbors Tanzania supports ChWs with bicycles, bags, shirts and

other necessary articles, and provides education on basic health care for

villagers to help them stay healthy and avoid diseases. it is also working in

cooperation with KOiCA, the health Ministry of Tanzania, and municipalities

in order to upgrade deteriorating medical facilities and nurture medical

personnel through projects that improve the environment of health centers

and district hospitals or that educate medical personnel to be able to provide

Basic Obstetric and newborn Care (BemOnC).

The ChWs pay a door-to-door visit to local communities regularly. The home

visit begin during the antenatal period, and continue until the child turns age

of six weeks, while helping them have prenatal and postnatal education and

making sure that delivery happens in a hospital. The prenatal and postnatal

education provided by the ChWs is crucial since it provides essential and

basic information for mothers and babies and helps them protect against

harmful effects.

HARSH ENVIRONmENT OF TANZANIA HEALTH CENTER

GOOD NEIGHBORS SUPPORTS CHWs

Kundi began to hang a calabash* around

her neck a month ago. She gave birth to tiny,

lovely twin daughters weighing 1.5kg in early

February this year, but unfortunately, she lost

the elder one right after the birth. She is still

reeling from the grief and shock of the loss.

What happened to Kundi?

* Kundi had a calabash around her neck to remember the death of her child. it is a

cultural rite in Kishapu district of Tanzania where the mother wears a calabash necklace

when one of the twins dies and then passes it down to the other one of the twins when

he or she grows up. it means that the other daughter of Kundi will wear the calabash

necklace someday instead of her mother.

“The maternal health projects of Good Neighbors are reducing risk factors by allowing pregnant women to

have access to necessary childbirth information through CHWs, to realize the importance of prenatal and

postnatal care, and to avoid home birth.”

Dr. Josephati Shani, a local government official in Tanzania

There are also those people, as well as the ChWs, who discuss the importance

of prevention, being concerned about the health care of the neighbors in

Tanzania. The volunteers who participated in the Photo Voice program is 48

people from five villages were able to learn and share their opinions, ideas

on topics that affect the health of their communities especially on maternal

health issues.

Agnes, one of the participants, took the pictures of a pregnant woman being

treated to let people know about the significance of prenatal care and a

dad feeding his child to emphasize that the role of a husband is crucial. The

people say that they realized how important prenatal and postnatal care and

the role of husbands are through the Photo Voice program. The husbands

who used to be unwilling to help with household chores started to make

efforts to improve the health of their wives and children.

WE TALK WITH PHOTOS, PHOTO VOICE PROGRAm

[FIELD REPORT 1]

There is still a lack of basic medical facilities, but the

steady effort and considering activities of the ChWs are

expected to be a sustainable solution instead of simply

building hospitals. The pregnant women in Tanzania will

not have to take the risk of losing their baby as long as

local communities can work to build their capacity to

resolve their issues on their own together with the ChWs

and the advocacy voices. good neighbors will continue

to implement a variety of support activities in every

corner of each village to ensure a safe and maternity-

friendly environment.

“Raising a child is not just the responsibility of the mother. The father has the responsibility to help the

mother in raising the children. This picture shows the father feeding their baby porridge while the mother is

cooking. This is good because the father and mother are helping each other to raise their baby, and the father isn’t leaving the mother to do everything by herself.”

A diverse group of children, adolescents, parents, and schools participate

in the Dream Project in particular, 121 Child councils from 14 CDPs are

conducting right advocacy activities. Their goals are to empower children

and adolescents to identify and solve challenging situations on their own

while at the same time raise awareness of adults through campaigns.

13-year-old Toma Khatun from Child council was able to go back to school

with the help of good neighbors Bangladesh. She was able to dissuade

her parents from marrying her off because the family was struggling with

poverty. now she is serving as one of the most active campaigners against

early marriage, hoping that other girls like her, can avoid such tragedy.

DREAm PROJECT FOR CHILDREN IN BANGLADESH

A world that good neighbors dreams of is where children can live out their dreams and grow up

safely. however, the violence against children across the world, including early marriage, child

labor, and child sex abuse once again reminds us of why good neighbors exist. Let us take a look

at Bangladesh and Kenya where good neighbors is conducting advocacy projects on child rights in

an effort to make a world where every child is respected as a human being and can grow up to be

healthy.

Q. What messages do you want to deliver most in this workshop?

girls have been considered as a victim, but now they are the subjects

who are actually making changes. Students in ‘good Sisters’ are very

active and positive. They are developing activity curriculum and teach

what they have learned to other students. i, as a project manager am

very proud of them, and this is what i wanted to share most.

Q. What would be the most memorable changes in this ‘Good Sisters’

project?

i have seen each girl changing their view on the women. i have met the

leader of local community and encouraging them to be aware on the

women’s right. in the end they were able to participating into legislating

Act on Women Protection. Last year, early Marriage Prevention Act came

into force in Malawi. girls made it by themselves to formulate the legal

devices to protect them. This is highly encouraging.
