The community development work of the diocese encompasses the activities of three departments:
- Development,
- Youth, and
- Mother’s Union.
Development
The DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT coordinates the planning and execution of programs that create opportunity; empowering people and communities to build capacity and become agents of change.
Our goal is to do development work in a way that proclaims the love of Christ. We seek to create a culture of service, to pursue justice, and to enable all people to experience the fullness of life characterized by freedom, love and hope.
