ABOUT PROJECT
ABOUT PROJECT
Co&Coal is a project initiated under ENACTUS UUM, which aspires to improve the living standard and quality of life of the underprivileged in northern region of Malaysia by using entrepreneurial action. Coconut, which has high utilization value is the main ingredient in this project.
However, most of the coconut shell waste is thrown away due to the lack of knowledge of the coconut milk sellers’ on proper ways to dispose them. Through this project, we are turning the coconut shell waste into marketable product, the coconut charcoal, subsequently reduce the environmental issues. We are also tackling various environmental issues while fostering entrepreneurs with this sustainable “Go-green” concept. In this project, we are empowering our target audiences with the necessary skills and knowledge on how to transform the coconut shells waste into high quality charcoal with simple Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) that is designed by us.
SUCCESS STORY
For now, one of our target audiences, who goes by the name MakSu is now independent and able to sustain herself with our product which have helped her to gain an additional income of RM750 per month. With her success, we are now expanding our project to other areas in Kedah.
EXPANSION PLAN
Currently, we are engaging with more target audiences in Changlun and Jitra area but with every progress that we make, it requires more cost as there will be more equipments and machinery needed for our target audiences to start doing the project. Since our target audiences are from poor financial background, Enactus UUM will be the one providing the machines to them under installment basis.
For every machine purchase, the cost that we have to bear is RM 1,000 and currently, we need 5 more machines to help lessening the burden of our target audiences. Therefore, the help from the community is much needed to continue expand our project and help more underprivileged people in the northern area.
ELIGIBILITY
There is no specific criteria to join this project. However, we do encourage the underprivileged community to join as it can help them to have an additional income. Regardless, if you do not belong in the category, you are welcome to join us as long as you have the passion and interest to preserve the environment.

关于该项目
Co&coal是一个由马来西亚北方大学创行（Enactus UUM）所创立的一个项目。北方大学创行（Enactus UUM）创立这个项目的主要目的是为了帮助在北部贫困的居民提高他们的生活水平让他们可以创业。椰子壳是这个项目所使用的最主要的原料。
在马来西亚北部， 很多椰子壳并没有被妥善的处置。其实主要的原因是因为很多贩卖椰浆的小贩缺乏环保意识。他们并不知道椰子壳可以再利用循环。北方大学创行（Enactus UUM）通过这个项目把废弃的椰子壳转换成具有市场价值的椰壳火炭并且减少了环境污染的问题。我们提倡环保还有绿化环境的意识。在这个项目里，我们用标准的操作规程来教导民众如何利用废弃的椰子壳生产成高品质的椰壳火炭。
成功的故事
Co&coal这个项目创立至今，我们已经和一位来自吉打布秧河谷（Lembah Bujang）的妇女合作生产椰壳火炭。在我们的帮组下，她已经可以独自生产和售卖的椰壳火炭。这份职位也为她带来了每个月750令吉额外的收入。也因为拥有这个成功的例子，我们决定在吉打州扩展我们的项目。
扩张计划
在北方大学多年，我们发现了这一部分地区的居民都是以贫困居多。我们计划在章伦（Changlun）和日特拉（Jitra）地区寻找更多的需要帮助的民众来加入我们的项目。扩展这个项目需要庞大的经费。这些资金将用来研发和改进我们的项目还有购买器材给予民众。由于我们所帮组的民众都是来自贫困的家庭，所以他们将以分期付款的方式来完成付款。
目前我们还需要5个器材来帮组减少民众的负担。每一次购买器材，北方大学创行（Enactus UUM）需要承担的费用是1000令吉。所以我们需要更多的资金来让我们继续扩展我们的项目以便帮组更多的北部居民。
资格
没有具体的标准来加入这个项目。不过，我们的确鼓励弱势社群加入，因为这可以帮助他们获得额外的收入。无论如何，如果你不属于这个范畴，只要你有保护环境的热情和兴趣，欢迎你加入我们的行列。

RISKS AND CHALLENGES
The main obstacle in this project would be the starting cost of the project which involves the equipments and machinery. For now, we go by donation drive and partnership with companies in order to get the amount that is needed but as the project gets bigger, we will be needing more fund to support our target audiences.
这个项目主要面对的问题是成本。由于许多民众都没有办法负担这个项目的成本。所以北方大学创行会先帮助民众承担这笔费用。现在我们正在积极的向民众募捐还有与公司合作来获取足够的资金。 扩展这个项目需要庞大的经费所以我们需要更多资金来帮组这些民众。你的帮助是我们最大的动力！
