Umoja

Church and Community Mobilisation, otherwise known as ‘Umoja’ (Swahili for 'Togetherness') is a dynamic way of helping local churches to work together with their community in addressing needs using their own resources. It has brought remarkable transformation to local churches and their communities around the world.

We believe that local churches around the world can make an immense contribution to overcoming poverty, at a local, national, and international level. Their passion, rootedness in the community, commitment to relationships and spiritual hope mean that they can be tremendous agents of transformation.

Umoja is an exciting and comprehensive set of training resources for those who want to envision and equip the local church to work for transformation in their communities. Our resources are available in English, French and Portuguese. It will soon be available in Spanish. Our partners and friends from around the world have also translated our resources into other languages.

Here’s a film you can watch about the process.
