Community Development
Empowering the Community Toward Fullness of Life
||| Short blurb about why HEED started community development. What was the need? |||
Communities are the best agents of their own change, and HEED aims to help the community transform from within through participatory development programs that teach self-reliance, economic cooperation, and proactive improvement for the common good of the community. HEED invests in solutions that seek to meet tangible needs, create jobs, and usher in long-term change.
A saving and microfinance organization is now working in partnership with HEED within the community teaching the principles of saving, borrowing and business planning. This adds onto leadership, entrepreneurial business, and permaculture farming training introduced by other ministries who have partnered with HEED to uplift the community and bring sustainable change. Most recently, HEED is partnering with World Concern to bring their community leadership and savings circle trainings to the HEED community to empower community members to drive their own development.
After attending a HEED permaculture training, the village chairman began intercropping eggplant in his banana plantation which now pays school fees for his 7 children.
Community Meeting: HEED provides small business and vocational trainings for community members to improve livelihoods.
High School students have formed a saving circle to prepare for their futures.
