NEW WORLD HOPE ORGANIZATION’S COMMUNITY TOURISM FUND (NWHO CTF)
The Community Tourism Fund (CTF) is a prominent initiative of the New World Hope Organization (NWHO). It was established with the aim of fostering entrepreneurship and innovation within community tourism enterprises and Eco-tourism. The program aims to provide financial support, training, and mentorship to local entrepreneurs and communities, enabling them to introduce eco-friendly products and promotes sustainable practices within their communities.
One of the key objectives of the CTF is to support the development of eco-friendly products. One of the ways this is done is by promoting the use of 'green wood', which is a blend of recycled materials such as plastic bags and scraps. One of the ways to promote a greener environment is by educating and engaging school children as well in the creation of green structures. This approach not only instills a sense of environmental responsibility but also encourages children to develop an interest in green tourism and awareness. By introducing the concept of green wood, a blend of recycled materials such as plastic bags and scraps, children can learn how to repurpose these materials into sustainable structures. The will create a love for the environment, create a habit of sustainability, spark interest in green tourism, and contribute to the construction of eco-friendly structures.
In addition to financial assistance, the CTF also provides community-specific training and mentorship to entrepreneurs. This training helps local entrepreneurs scale up their operations and improve their existing experiences at the village level. By equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge, the CTF aims to foster economic growth and community development.
Overall, the CTF serves as a crucial tool for NWHO in promoting entrepreneurship and innovation within community tourism enterprises and Eco-tourism. By providing small grants, community-specific training, and mentorship, the CTF empowers local entrepreneurs and communities to introduce eco-friendly products, such as 'green wood' structures, that contribute to a more sustainable and resilient tourism sector.
