The Community Development Network (CDN)<\/strong><\/p>

The Parkari Project reaches around 40,000 Parkaris living across 297 villages.<\/p>

Because of its size, the project is divided into 11 so-called clusters. Each cluster consists of approximately 25 villages and is led by a trained leader. These cluster leaders form the heart of the network.<\/p>

What does a Cluster Leader (CL) do?<\/strong><\/p>

Each Cluster Leader (CL) visits the villages in their cluster once a month, often together with their spouse. They support village leaders, assist with the training of teachers and healthcare workers, and help establish savings systems.<\/p>

The CL also often acts as a mediator between the village and the government, for example by helping people obtain birth certificates or identity documents.<\/p>

Financial Situation<\/strong><\/p>

Due to the sudden withdrawal of financial support, many Cluster Leaders have not received any financial compensation for their work since 2023. As a result, it has become increasingly difficult to keep the CDN running.<\/p>

Although the network remains active and the Cluster Leaders continue to carry out their work, financial support from outside the communities would be greatly appreciated.<\/p>

Our Support<\/strong><\/p>

To ensure that this important work can continue, Parkari Project Netherlands-Belgium has decided that all donations from the Benelux countries will go towards supporting the five Cluster Leaders who are most in need of financial assistance.<\/p>

We will regularly report on the progress and impact of their work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Het Community Development Network (CDN)<\/strong><\/p>

Het Parkari Project bereikt zo\u2019n 40.000 Parkaris verspreid over 297 dorpjes.\u00a0<\/p>

Vanwege de grootte is het project is verdeeld in 11 zogenaamde clusters. Iedere cluster bestaat uit 25 dorpen en wordt geleid door een getrainde leider. Deze clusterleiders vormen het hart van het netwerk.<\/p>

Wat doet een clusterleider (CL)?<\/b><\/p>

Elke clusterleider (CL) bezoekt zijn dorpen een keer per maand, vaak samen met zijn echtgenote. Hij begeleidt de leiders van het dorp, assisteert bij trainen van onderwijzers en gezondheidswerkers en helpt bij het opzetten van spaarsystemen. Vaak is de CL ook de bemiddelaar tussen het dorp en de overheid, bijvoorbeeld bij het verkrijgen van een geboorteakte of identiteitsbewijs.\u00a0<\/p>

Financi\u00eble situatie<\/strong><\/p>

Door het plotseling wegvallen van financi\u00eble steun hebben veel clusterleiders sinds 2023 geen tegemoetkoming voor hun werk meer ontvangen. Hierdoor is het moeilijker om CDN in leven te houden. Hoewel het netwerk nog steeds actief is en de clusterleiders nog steeds hun werk doen, zou een financi\u00eble stimulans van buitenaf zeer welkom zijn.\u00a0<\/p>

Onze steun<\/strong><\/p>

Om het werk door te kunnen laten gaan, heeft Het Parkari Project Nederland-Belgi\u00eb besloten dat alle giften uit de Benelux naar de vijf clusterleiders gaan, die financi\u00eble ondersteuning het hardst nodig hebben. We zullen regelmatig over de voortgang van het werk rapporteren.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
