Guest: 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.
