Church
& Development
& Friendship
We are an African-founded and African-led community development organisation. We empower local churches in Africa and the Caribbean to break the cycle of poverty in their communities using our proven transformational development model. Our sustainable approach to community development builds on the spiritual truth that the gospel brings about changes to the spiritual, social & material dimensions of life to holistically improve the human condition. We work in 12 African and 2 Caribbean countries in the following way:
- Creating sustainable solutions to poverty which avoid dependency
- Engaging local leadership to identify their community's most felt needs
- Putting the local church at the centre of their community transformation
- Equipping & empowering the local church through the provision of resources, training & mentorship
- Cultivating community ownership to foster self-respect & dignity
- Providing a 3-year commitment, after which the church continues the work
