Celebrating 25 Years
Happy New Year!
This new year, we are celebrating 25 years of transformation among the most vulnerable communities in the world.
What is Transformational Development?
Transformational development means the community leads the direction of programs, identifying what they need most to live well. This might include access to nearby safe water, help with agriculture, or bicycles so their children can get to school. Community-led poverty alleviation has sustainability as a core measure of success. It builds the capacity of local leaders while serving the most vulnerable in the poorest countries in the world. Transformational development means that we do not separate our faith from our actions. In everything, we work in the way of Jesus.
Our vision is as clear today as it was 25 years ago:
We envision every person living in poverty to have opportunity, dignity, and hope so they can possess the tools for change in themselves, their family, and their community.
We hold essential values that we believe will lead us into the next 25 years:
We value transformation.
When we value the vulnerable and seek holistic change for children and their families, we ourselves are transformed.
We value impact.
We advocate for justice, transformation, and social change. We are determined to see locally led, Christ-centered, and deep-rooted change.
We value working together.
Collaboration, generosity, partnership, and prayer help us fulfill our vision together. We desire to connect you to transformational development.
We value transparency.
We are committed to clear, honest communication, and openness in all areas of our organization.
We value faithfulness.
We are encouraging and positive in our interactions. We are passionately committed to bringing others into the vision to enable dignity, hope, opportunity, and faith to flourish.
The needs present in today’s world are complex and deeply interconnected. Therefore our programs complement one another and act as a holistic response to poverty allowing transformational development to take place.
