The Four Pillars Solution

Recent years have generated a wealth of solutions for many of the problems faced by the people of Fizi District. These include specific, low cost technologies and systems that are readily available. Ongoing research and development aimed at the needs of the developing world is also accessible.

Our Four Pillars Community Development Program focuses in on four, fundamental areas of development that can help every village in Fizi Prosper. They include Clean Water and Energy, Food Security, Wellness and Eco-Habitat. Each of these pillars lifts the economic and social well being of the people. Makimbilio blends training in the art of self-mastery with economically profitable skills that build these four pillars of social competence. Here is a preliminary outline of the scope of classes we wish to provide in our planned school system across the 28 villages of Fizi.

Recirculation and Recycling

 

Within this framework of training programs, we research, target and utilize available solutions to create a community school of masterful skills. By teaching you, the villagers of Fizi how to become masters of these skills, you can and will become the producers and providers of solutions for yourselves and others, in an ever expanding marketplace of sustainable production.Within each topic we will instruct you in these criticalskills:

 

The Rubrics of how to do it;

The qualities of how it is done;

The Sequence you execute;

The steps and tasks in the sequence;

The resources you will need to fo it;

The time it takes to do it;

How to practice the skill;

How to attain your goals;

The Three fruits of the Process

1. 1. 1. Wisdom,
      2. Skill,
      3. Prosperity;

 

The Golden Path

1. 1. 1. One step at a time;
      2. One step after another;
      3. Grow better on each step;

How to mentor others in the skill;

How to do this forever.

Equipped with this new knowledge, we'll work together with you to solve the specific challenges you face in eastern Congo. As we work together, we will discover and apply inspiring advances that lift both the spirit of our people and empower true capacity to rise out of poverty and establish a lasting prosperity for our collectivities. Here is an example of our basic research for making the food supply for Fizi more stable and secure. This is the first step in the development of classes that can train you to become successful in just one area of food production. You can image, there will be many more. Take a look at this. We call it

 

Goats for Fizi

 

Even as you explore this available information, your mind fills not only with new possibilities but with solid, practical information, methods and techniques you can use now to begin to raise goats. All of our skill classes will be filled with just this type of informed experience and insights you can immediately make yours.

With advances like these, the Bembe can create new cultural and economic well being from their own initiative. The intended result will be systematic “…eradication of poverty and significant decreases in income-inequality and exclusion” (United Nations Development Program, 2014-2017 Strategic Plan). 

Our Four Pillars Community Development Initiative will be executed and achieved in partnership with leading global NGOs. Partners will include those who are specifically focused on the eastern Congo and Great Lakes Region of Africa and organizations who’s missions include specific topics and interests shared with Makimbilio. Partnerships topics include but are not limited to: wellness, micro finance, water and sanitation, education, agriculture, and economic development and integrated, ecological habitats.

Each class developed in these many areas will result in practical, attainable projects like the one below that individual villages can choose to implement to raise their lives into prosperity.
