🏢 About the local organisation
Ban Kok Sai is a flat area situated on the west of Buntud mountain rage, in Kongra district. In general, people work on rubber tree plantation and fruit orchards. Some families grow various vegetables and tobacco leaves for living. Apart from agriculture, some of the villagers also work as freelance labors, governmental officers, and in private sectors. Most community members still live in a brotherhood atmosphere, supporting one another and helping each other when there are community activities. Most population are Muslims. There are 2 schools in the community: one is governmental and another is private school. In the community, there is also one Islamic school which is set at the local mosque. It is opened during the weekends to educate children on Islamic practice.
Koksai community has got a strong leader and involvement of senior citizens, children and youth as they pay attention and have their participation to the community activities. The local people formed a few groups to take care of the natural resources, community health and well-being, local wisdoms and traditions, local careers and Muslim customs. The community leader has got a vision to manage local resource and cooperate with the government sectors, as well as carrying out religious leader role. All these elements have made the community active and the community members always involve in all activities.
