Putting communities in the driving seat in Malawi

At All We Can, we are changing the rhetoric. We believe in the power of partnership – it’s in our DNA. We understand that overcoming the challenges of poverty, crises and social injustice is complex and can only be achieved by working with local organisations, like Eagles, rooted within local communities.

Local organisations like Eagles know the communities, they know the landscape and are able to make real change at a grassroots level.

This March, we’re giving you the chance to meet our Malawi partners, Eagles, and discover their work directly!

 

Community-led initiatives

The Eagles’ church mobilisation process is a sustainable approach as it increases the likelihood of lasting impact.

Working with local structures of churches and communities, it empowers women and men in the community to use existing assets and skills and builds their capacity, creating a mind-set change away from dependency towards a sense of collective responsibility and collective confidence.

Getting to know the community

Church and Community Transformation (CCT) equips local churches to break mindsets of dependency and work with their community to achieve holistic change, especially for the most vulnerable.

Communities are equipped to identify their own problems, discover the abundance of their own resources, find solutions and act together, taking responsibility for their own development. Church and community mobilisation as an approach has been found to be 26 times more cost-effective than traditional development and 4 times more sustainable.

It works by utilising lasting local structures in the community like churches, empowers local people to radically transform their livelihoods and involves advocating to the government for larger-scale change.

 

Meet The Eagles

This March, we’re offering our supporters the chance to meet the Eagles team directly:

  • Learn about the community
  • Discover our partnership approach in action
  • Be inspired with stories of hope

 

Come and join us on Thursday 2 March to learn more about their incredible work and be part of the transformation.

 

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 18th – 25th January

This year the material has been prepared for world-wide use by churches in Minneapolis, USA, seeking to “explore how the work of Christian unity can contribute to the promotion of racial justice across all levels of society”.  There is a particular focus for the UK on the murder of Stephen Lawrence in April 1993.  More information is available from Churches in Britain and Ireland.

Broughty Ferry Churches Group will observe the Week at a Service led by the Rev. Mark-Aaron Tisdale, in    St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, Queen Street, Broughty Ferry, on Friday 20th January 2023 from 2.30 pm to 3.30 pm.  Refreshments will be served after the service.  All are warmly welcomed to this Service.
