Community development
Songolo is one of thirteen parishes taking part in the Community Mobilization Programme (CCMP) in the Diocese. The CCMP is a Bible-based, guided training approach that a local church can use with its community to identify the resources they have, then, working together, bring about long-lasting, sustainable change. As local communities work through the process, they decide which activities will bring about the most effective and positive outcomes for them given their current situations.
The community found that many people had a specific challenge - one that could hold them back, before they could even get started with their development plans. Many people could not read or write. To ensure every person is able to fully participate in the CCMP, the Diocese therefore decided to collaborate with the local government to run adult learning classes. To make sure this is done well, they are working to identify volunteer teachers, who have experience and come with a recommendation from the headteacher or education officers from their villages. This should open up a way for every person to fully participate and benefit from the CCMP training. You can read more about the CCMP at:Articles/514936/Community_Development.aspx
