Challenge

Mindanao is beset by problems caused by religious extremism. Poverty and economic exclusion exacerbate the situation. Every now and then war breaks out and people are displaced and become more poorer, internal refugees in their own land.

Solution

We will implement culture of peace workshops for both Muslims and Christians as well as Indigenous Peoples in Mindanao so that they understand their common aspirations and roots. Then we will pilot practical, doable projects focusing on community development actions implemented in cooperation and coordination by all and that will redound to their common benefits.

Long-Term Impact

Development of a community come from local inhabitants themselves working in cooperation and collaboration and the potential long-term impact when this is done is the development of all.
