Chong Siu Hou, Co-op Development & Operations, Kongsi Co-op | Teoh Jia Chern, Co-Founder , FRIENDS Craft Cooperative

Here's a good thing you need to know: Two local cooperatives are on a mission to address a wide range of social, economic and environmental challenges. In a conversation that spans community, sustainability and skill development, we delve into the philosophies behind Kongsi Co-op and FRIENDS Craft Cooperative-two distinct cooperatives with unique missions. Kongsi Co-op is a community-owned enterprise dedicated to harmonising the relationships between people, soil, and nature, with a focus on revitalising community spirit and promoting sustainable living. In contrast, FRIENDS Craft Cooperative aims to empower individuals by equipping them with craft skills essential for domestic production-not only to strengthen interpersonal relationships, but to also promote economic equity.
