Our grass-roots approach to change allows us to know the people, the problems, and the potential of each community we serve. Wherever we go, we act and feel like a local non-governmental organisation. Our staff live within the community and learn all the hopes and challenges each community faces. We serve alongside the poor and oppressed as a demonstration of God’s unconditional love for all people.
