Pawah, a customary Malay tradition, involves the sharing of livestock within a village setting. Affluent families within the community reach out to those less fortunate, seeking assistance in raising their farm animals. In exchange, upon the animals' reproduction, ownership of the offspring alternates between the involved parties.
Cultivate unity and cooperation among your community, strengthening communal ties. Through mutual aid, families ensure equitable access to vital resources. Collaborative efforts empower neighbors economically and socially, nurturing collective prosperity and well-being.
Grant families an extra income stream through joint ownership of livestock and their progeny. Bolster food security by broadening livelihood options and guaranteeing access to animal goods. Moreover, shared resource ownership fosters sustainable land and animal management, enhancing resource efficiency.
Pawah bolsters food security by broadening food sources, guaranteeing access to animal products during shortages. Additionally, shared livestock ownership encourages sustainable agricultural methods like rotational grazing, fostering long-term food security.
We draw inspiration from the traditional Pawah system, adapting it to meet the contemporary psycho-spiritual, socio-economic needs of marginalized communities. With a focus on addressing modern challenges such as wealth inequality, unsustainable farming practices, and more, the initiative aims to promote wholesome living and sustainability. Grounded in the belief that life and the material world are gifts from The Creator, The Pawah School emphasizes accountability, sharing blessings, and cultivating virtues through good deeds. The initiative incorporates two main adaptations to achieve its goals.
The Pawah School provides diverse training opportunities, both offline and online. Our programs are meticulously crafted to cater to specific entry points within the Pawah system, such as Organizers, Partners, and Herders.
Book an appointment to schedule visits lasting between 2 to 4 hours, catering to educational institutions ranging from Kindergarten to Higher Education levels. Our visitation program is not limited to educational settings; it is also open and welcoming to Faith-based Organizations, Community Groups, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and more.
I cannot express how grateful I am for the transformative experience at The Pawah School. It has been a blessing to our small community here in Ipoh.
This system has been really beneficial for our small urban farm and community garden here in Melaka. I was skeptical at first being in more of a city type of environment, but applying what I learned at The Pawah School has adapted very nicely to our community.
Joining as a partner for a Pawah has been very rewarding for me, and I've been able to witness first hand the empowerment and impact we're able to provide to the underserved. Alhamdulillah, I highly recommend this program to anyone.
The Pawah School may very well have the solution to revolutionizing the way way we think about food security, sustainability, and social responsibility.
Pawah can change lives and has provided us with so many blessings.
"Pawah" originates from traditional Nusantara practices of livestock sharing, where better-off families would assist those in need by raising farm animals together. It symbolizes mutual support and empowerment within communities.
The Pawah School emphasizes the revival of traditional values like Barokah (Blessings) and Adab (Good Mannerism) alongside modern approaches to address contemporary socio-economic challenges. Its focus on sustainable food security and meaningful relationships sets it apart.
The Pawah School provides training courses, consultation services, and practical initiatives aimed at empowering marginalized individuals to become herders and participants in the Pawah Initiative. It fosters self-reliance and community cohesion through shared ownership and cooperation.
