Community development
Wekense is one of seventeen parishes in the Diocese taking part in the Church and Community Mobilization Programme (CCMP). The CCMP is a Bible-based, guided training approach that a local church can use with its community to identify the resources they have, then, working together, bring about long-lasting, whole-life change. As local communities work through the process, they decide which activities will bring about the most effective and positive outcomes for them given their current situations.
After completing CCMP training in agricultural conservation, the parish has planted fruit trees to produce fruit to eat and sell, and to provide shade to improve the environment around people's home.
