COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION is merging with GRACEWORKS MYANMAR
PROJECTS - January 2012
Community Development Education Project
Support urgently required
We are commencing Community Development Education projects in poor villages in mid-2012. CDE uses a community-based participatory development approach to empower communities to overcome poverty, disease, and hopelessness. CDE is a proven strategy already being used by over 150 organisations working in more than 70 countries.
In a CDE program community volunteers are equipped and empowered to, amongst other things:
- improve sanitation, preventing disease
- enhance agriculture, increasing food production
- create new enterprises, escaping dependency
- utilise appropriate technologies, fostering sustainability
- share the gospel through lifestyle witness
Can you help give towards this need? We have a donor who will support the 20 facilitators, but support is urgently required to cover training costs.

Anthony & Vicki Ware Support Raising
$1,700 per month faith goal
Anthony & Vicki have commenced raising personal sponsorship, to fund multiple visits to Myanmar each year, to facilitate the launch of CDE projects in2012. Next trips are planned for June-July 2012 and November 2012 - you would be welcome to join a team
None of this support goes towards personal or living expenses, simply to the cost of travel and programs.
This is a substantial faith goal, and we would greatly appreciate ongoing support of any amount to sow into seeing CDE programs launched in this needy country.

In a nutshell ...
Community Transformation (or CT) is a Christian faith-based not-for-profit organisation. We conduct both development and mission projects in Myanmar, and are non-denominational. What sets CT apart is our focus not on children or individuals, but on empowering whole communities for total transformation.
Community Transformation is our vision. Myanmar is our focus. Our passion is to see communities transformed holistically; to facilitate physical, emotional, relational, financial and spiritual development, and to see a church planting movement established amongst the Burmese people.
Ongoing Strategy ...
Our ongoing strategy is to partner with local churches and organisations in Myanmar, and together with them, to journey with impoverished local communities over the long term through CDE projects. This means helping empower them to break out of the poverty cycle, to build healthy communities and allowing them to evaluate the claims of Christ.
The organisation was established in 2003, when Anthony and Vicki Ware returned from 8.5 years service in Thailand with another organisation. Ian Grant and Don Gall have been board members since 2003. Rob Koch and Derek Tucker both joined the team in 2006.

If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled" but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?
