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.

  • 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.
