Communities

Working with communities is an integral part of BFD programs. It is the

essence of BFD principle for its work in development to use Buddhist principles of self-responsibility and self-action to enhance community life and welfare. To this end BFD encourages facilitates and support the development of community action and community frameworks to address all aspects of community growth.

Two major initiatives used are:

Initiating and supporting Volunteer Networks that introduce sustainable community resources for independent operation of social welfare and family support mechanisms at the local level.

Mobile Media Vans for information, entertainment, social and health education messages for village communities including Cadastral Law, Domestic Violation, Human Rights Violation, Gender, Election, Conflict

Looming problems need urgent attention

Cambodia has a hugely youthful population (approx 70% of population is less than 30 years old, 50% less than 20 years old). Successful engagement of these young people in all aspects of society is critical for Cambodia’s future welfare. Projects linking youth especially rural youth, into formal education, governance, politics and local community development, and into ethical and moral frameworks that support community cohesion are very much needed. These and other new BFD project areas would welcome support from donors.
