Aid Projects of the nehemia team Borneo
Education
In 14 remote villages in West Kalimantan, Borneo, the nehemia team now looks after Montessori kindergartens on site. The support ranges from financial aid to construction and maintenance costs, method training of the staff and material procurement.
Competence Training
Our team offers training in the Montessori methodology for educators, and health education, seminars and youth camps for communities. Training in Montessori pedagogy is not only available for kindergarten staff who are supervised by us, but also for anyone interested in further training in the subject.
Small Business Development
Borneo is a beautiful island whose inhabitants are confronted with extreme poverty in many places. To support local village development, we help local farmers sell FairTrade pepper so that the proceeds reach those who deserve it.
