All We Can

LENT: MONTHLY MATTERS Have you heard of the concept of desire lines? In this video, Cameron explores what these naturally emerging paths can teach us about engaging with local communities.

LENT: MONTHLY MATTERS All We Can works with over 20 local partners in low-income countries around the world. While they are all tackling poverty and injustice in their own unique way, the barriers they encounter to running a sustainable organisation have many common threads. In Grace's story, we tell a fictionalised tale that explores the real issues our partners face, and how your regular support can make a real difference. Based on stories and anecdotes from our partners, and told in an exploratory play style, this video series is perfect for churches and small groups wanting to explore how to respond to global poverty and injustice. In part 3, we explore what can happen when donor priorities and community priorities compete.

AHRRA: Accelerating Action on Gender Equality Our final blog comes from our partner Addis Hiwot Rehabilitation and Reintegration Association (AHRRA), one of our partners from Ethiopia. AHRRA is an organisation that focuses on improving the health, livelihoods and wellbeing of overlooked and underserved people through strong participation and community-led action. AHRRA works with local community and government structures across Amhara Region to support people living on the margins – including people living with HIV, prison communities, vulnerable children, unemployed young people and returned migrants – to improve their livelihoods, access health and education services and contribute to their communities. https://lnkd.in/ekviXR-R

LENT: MONTHLY MATTERS Much like with running, gains made in community development can quickly be lost. In this video, Cameron explores what that means for how All We Can approaches its work, and how churches might approach theirs.

There’s no better time for CSOs to start the social entrepreneurship journey than now .
