Pioneering Ideas They Seek
the BML Community Fund actively seeks proposals that ignite community spirit, emphasize sustainability, and foster social opportunities. The fund’s vision is centered on projects that deeply resonate with the core essence of communal progress.
Noteworthy examples include:
- The creation of a Community Garden, uniting residents through collaborative efforts in cultivating vegetables, fruits, and herbs.
- The establishment of Community Libraries is designed to nurture a fervour for reading and lifelong learning.
- The introduction of solar-powered lighting in public spaces such as schools and harbors, aims to elevate accessibility and safety.
- A revitalization of the traditional concept of “holhuashi,” reimagined to address contemporary community needs, thus bridging historical traditions with the demands of the present.
