Happy Village Project: A sustainable community solution to natural disaster challenges
Currently, many residential areas nationwide are threatened by the risk of natural disasters, even having to relocate to new places. Many resettlement areas have been established, somehow changing the inherent cultural structure of the village community and leading to the loss or interruption of indigenous cultural values.
In that context, Nha Chong Lu (Flood-proof Houses) Social Enterprise launched the Happy Village project to help rebuild the community effectively and sustainably. The planning model for the construction of the Happy Village focuses on not only building essential infrastructure and architecture but also developing livelihoods for local people, protecting the ecology and the landscape, and creating a sustainable community ecosystem.
The Happy Village project is a clear vision that community development is framed based on the core values of traditional culture and sustainable happiness. After nearly five years of implementation, the project has proven that with cooperation between parties and community efforts, we can create positive changes, spreading the value of a happy and sustainable life.
