Menyusul keberhasilan program livelihood Gold Coin Malaysia (Gold Coin) yang pertama kali dijalankan di komunitas penduduk asli Orang Asli di Pahang, mereka melanjutkan kemitraan mereka dengan Global Peace Foundation Malaysia (GPFM) untuk tahun 2024.
Untuk siklus kedua, mereka bertujuan untuk memperluas inisiatif ini ke lebih banyak keluarga di masyarakat untuk menciptakan sumber mata pencaharian yang berkelanjutan. Gold Coin dan GPFM akan mengedukasi dan mendampingi masyarakat, memberikan aliran pendapatan yang stabil sambil memastikan keluarga mereka memiliki akses terhadap nutrisi dan ketahanan pangan yang memadai.
Dari Desember 2023 hingga Januari 2024, anggota tim Gold Coin membangun kandang ayam dan memberikan pakan untuk ayam dari berbagai tahap kehidupan. Dalam beberapa bulan ke depan, mereka juga akan memberikan bantuan teknis melalui seminar dan lokakarya dengan dokter hewan. Hal ini untuk memastikan bahwa masyarakat memiliki keterampilan yang diperlukan untuk mempertahankan mata pencaharian mereka.
Saat Gold Coin dan GPFM memulai siklus kedua program mata pencaharian mereka di komunitas Orang Asli Pahang, dedikasi mereka terhadap pembangunan berkelanjutan menjadi nyata. Dengan memperdalam komitmen mereka untuk memberdayakan masyarakat setempat, mereka secara langsung berkontribusi pada beberapa Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan (SDGs) Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa (PBB), termasuk Tujuan 1: Tanpa Kemiskinan dan Tujuan 2: Tanpa Kelaparan. Melalui program-program mata pencaharian mereka, mereka mendorong pertumbuhan inklusif dan kesejahteraan sosial, membuka masa depan yang lebih baik karena lebih banyak masyarakat yang mendapat manfaat dari upaya kolaboratif tersebut.
Pertanyaan yang Sering Diajukan
Why is partnering with the Global Peace Foundation Malaysia integral to the program’s community impact?
GPFM provides essential on-the-ground access, community trust, and coordination capacity that Gold Coin as a feed company would not have independently. This partnership model – combining private sector resources with an established nonprofit’s community relationships – enables a livelihood program that is both practically effective and culturally sensitive to the needs of the Orang Asli people.
What activities were carried out by Gold Coin and GPFM between December 2023 and January 2024 under the second cycle of the program?
Team members from Gold Coin built new chicken coops and delivered feeds appropriate for chickens at different life stages within the Orang Asli community in Pahang. These hands-on activities ensured that families had the physical infrastructure and nutritional inputs needed to raise poultry as a sustainable income source.
What technical support is planned for the Orang Asli community in the months following the coop construction?
Gold Coin veterinarians will conduct technical seminars and workshops for the community, covering animal health management, proper poultry care practices, and farm maintenance. This knowledge transfer component is essential to ensuring that families can sustain their chicken farming operations independently over the long term.
How does Year 2 of the program build on the outcomes of the first cycle?
The second cycle expands the program’s reach to more families in the community, extending the model that proved successful in the first run. With the infrastructure and feeding components already refined, the second cycle is better positioned to focus on deepening technical competencies and scaling sustainable livelihood access across a broader group of beneficiaries.
Which UN Sustainable Development Goals does the Gold Coin-GPFM partnership directly support?
The program contributes to SDG Goal 1: No Poverty and SDG Goal 2: Zero Hunger. By equipping Orang Asli families with the means to generate income and produce their own food, the initiative directly addresses poverty and food insecurity within one of Malaysia’s most underserved indigenous communities.
