This project aims to enhance and replicate the community-based ecotourism and food security model, successfully implemented under the Hasanah Special Grant (HSG) 2021 in Kampung Tonggang and KRT Klebang Selatan in the Kinta River Basin, to other communities.
The communities are namely, Kampung Orang Asli Kenang in Sungai Siput, Kuala Kangsar, Perak and a new community group in the Klang Valley, Kampung Orang Asli Bukit Lagong in Selangor.
Kampung Tonggang, known for its ecotourism success, will benefit from upgraded facilities and expanded promotional efforts, with the model being replicated in Kampung Orang Asli Kenang. Similarly, the food security model from KRT Klebang Selatan will be adapted and expanded to new communities in the Klang Valley, particularly the Orang Asli community in Bukit Lagong.
The project aims to equip these B40 communities with the necessary knowledge, skills and economic models to enhance food production, generate income and improve livelihoods. By fostering ecotourism and establishing sustainable community-based gardens, this initiative will create resilient, income-generating models for food security, further empowering marginalised groups and promoting long-term environmental and economic sustainability.
