We have recently begun our small loans and savings project in a 4th diocese, the diocese of Mpwapwa. This project aims to support church youth groups in the development of income generation projects which benefit the group, individual members, church and community. We give small loans to provide capital to develop their projects and also encourage group members to make regular savings to ensure the future sustainability of the project. We also offer training to group leaders in project and financial management so that they are able to run their projects effectively. These pictures show the diocesan committee which has been formed to run the project in Mpwapwa. We have met with the committe and together have selected the groups which will take part in the project. Next week we will be going to Mpwapwa to begin the training of group leaders.
We still need more funds to enable us to continue this project. If you are able to support us please visit our just giving page above to make a donation.
We have also started planning for a national youth conference which will take place in September 2012, and will involve youth groups from each of the 26 dioceses of ACT. The event will include bible teaching, praise and worship, music, games and teaching on interfaith relations in a Tanzanian context. Please pray that God provides the resources we need for this event, and again if you are able to contribute please visit our just giving pages.
