August 2026 Editorial

Good news relieves the mind and guides you to good deeds! 

When we receive good news, we gain hope, confidence, and motivation. They reduce anxiety, strengthen the spirit, and help us look at challenges with more serenity.

A calm mind makes more balanced decisions, promotes cooperation, and inspires positive attitudes for the benefit of family, community, and society! Thus, good news not only brings momentary joy, but can also be transformed into energy to carry out constructive, supportive and development-oriented actions.

 "Good news illuminates the way, strengthens hope and, inspire good actions for a better future."

This message applies very well to KULIMA's work, where every positive result achieved in communities serves as a motivation to continue promoting sustainable development and the well-being of families.

So in our dialogue via Wahtsapp, via Facebook, via Instagram or other known and used channel, let's spread beautiful news, which favors the smile and not only be embarrassed by sad, political and bribery news, criminal acts and so many other news that only revive our mood and increase our anger and hatred.

 Let us spread Rich and pleasing news!

 A simple example from my life:

Last week I was trapped by the problems that KULIMA faces: misunderstanding with the UNHCR that wants the return of funds, the SCI that canceled two major programs without saying the reason, the IDEPA program that has been postponed since last year, the WFP Funds that never arrive, the criticism of Donors and Partners only concerned by the financial sector, in short a whole series of problems and all at the same time. Occasionally I open the Italian newspaper and read a beautiful piece of news: Two health professionals were concerned about a child, who without parents, was permanently in the hospital, because he suffered from kidneys and needed permanent blood transfusions. They analyzed the situation well, thought and were moved. So they adopted the same child! Then they did the blood test and saw that the Father's blood was compatible with the child's blood. Soon they decided to donate a rin.. the child was resurrected and returned to being a living child with Parents!. It was called and is called ANNA! This news gave me the strength to overcome all the problems mentioned and with enthusiasm and strength!

The good news gives life and gave me the strength to reembrace the world and my family and be more understanding with everyone!

Linked to this commitment, in our daily lives we must always research the best practices, which have been successfully carried out, in order to be replicated with guarantee.

"Knowledge and application of best practices strengthens the operational capacity of the organization, improves the quality of interventions, and contributes to more sustainable outcomes in communities."

Knowledge and application of best practices strengthen the organisation's operational capacity, improve the quality of interventions and contribute to more sustainable outcomes in communities. 

By promoting continuous learning, sharing experiences and adopting proven methods, the organisation increases its efficiency, strengthens its credibility with partners and beneficiaries and maximises the impact of its actions.

In this way, best practices become a fundamental instrument for innovation, sustainability and the socio-economic development of communities.

 Concretely, and once again being practical in everyday life:

1.    In the Strategic Plan: KULIMA will promote the knowledge and application of best practices in management, implementation, monitoring and learning, aiming to strengthen the operational capacity of the organization, improve the quality of interventions and ensure sustainable results for communities.

2.   In Institutional Reporting: KULIMA will invest in the dissemination of best practices and in strengthening the technical capacities of the teams. This approach has contributed to greater operational efficiency, improved quality of interventions and strengthening the sustainability of the results achieved in the communities.

3.  In Institutional Presentations: KULIMA should improve in communicating best practices, prepare simple pamphlets that favor dialogue, understanding and the assumption of the aforementioned tasks… see the Food Fair exhibition!

Another subject that is interconnected with good news and successful practices is Partnerships:

Successful and fully harmonized partnerships double service capacity

Strengthen innovation, and drive lasting results.When organizations and people work together for a common vision, the impact achieved is far greater than the sum of individual efforts.

In Partnerships, excluding the fact of winning programs, the values and vision of the Institutions are shared, the missions of the organizations are compatible, and the practices exchanged enrich the two Institutions. The failures of one are complemented by the other and together they operate as a single body.

"Strong partnerships are not built on agreements alone, but on trust, shared goals, mutual respect and ongoing commitment to outcomes for communities."

Yours sincerely, 

Dominic Liuzzi,

National Director of KULIMA.
