SEKEM, Egypt (newsletter June 2010)
The organization Sekem is established to create a sustainable and biodynamic agro-business model that contributes to a comprehensive development of individuals, society and the environment. This three-fold vision allows a development of community building, humanity, and the Earth, and is worked out in the different small organizations Sekem entails.
The three different points of emphasis together create a possibility for individuals to develop in a positive, sustainable way. When connected to the Sekem networks, the members are offered education, jobs with good working conditions, a chance to develop creativity, and more. In other words, Sekem provides better living conditions for the earth and for the people living on it. In underscoring the need for change at household level, all the areas involved in Sekem have the opportunity to develop in a way that is exemplary for the rest of Egypt.
Since this fits perfectly in our Light Development concept, SEKEM is added to the Light Development WIKI of the Knowledge Centre. You can also read more about the organization on its website.
