Initiatives

As well as community development programmes, Tearfund also operate through a number of other initiatives designed to tackle poverty from the inside out. Find out about them, and how you can support us in them, here.

  • Church and Community Mobilisation, otherwise know as ‘Umoja’ is a dynamic way of helping local churches to work together with their community in addressing needs using their own resources.

  • The Connected Church initiative creates a global network of churches – linking churches in the UK with churches in poor communities across the world.

  • Tearfund supports craft-workers and artisans from some of the world’s poorest communities, helping them create and market products of the highest standard.

  • Tearfund’s Inspired Individuals initiative supports and equips social entrepreneurs – people who have a unique vision with the potential to transform the lives of thousands living in poverty.

  • Restored is an international Christian alliance working to transform relationships and end violence against women.

  • Twin your toilet with a loo in a poor community and flush away poverty. Tearfund and Cord run the Toilet Twinning initiative to help some of the 2.6 billion people who don’t have a safe toilet.

  • Serve is a group of Christian organisations within the Evangelical Alliance committed to supporting churches in England as they transform their communities – sharing resources, encouraging good ideas, celebrating successes with government and the media and using the stories of churches to inspire others to action.
