Why give to this partner?
Inspired by Jesus' example and teaching, we recognize that people have profoundly interconnected material and spiritual needs. We seek to meet those needs by working through Nationally led local Christian networks across South Sudan, DR Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and India, as well as among the First Peoples of Canada - primarily through the churches and faith-based organizations at the heart of their communities.
We specialize in 5 key areas of transformative work
Church-based Community Transformation (CCT) is a unique model of development that works through the local church to restore the broken relationships at the root of poverty. We believe the church is the most effective vehicle for bringing opportunity and hope to the community.
Humanitarian Aid in times of natural disasters, conflict and displacement, where we concentrate on food assistance in areas such as Gaza, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Haiti, Rohingya, Syria and Ukraine
Helping communities increase resilience through food security and livelihood projects, specializing in conservation agriculture and women’s savings groups.
Facilitating Biblically based Trauma healing of victims of Sexual Violence in conflict areas such as South Sudan, DR Congo and Ethiopia
Training churches and communities about Creation Care and implementing large- and small-scale reforestation and creation care projects across the Global South.
