Community development.

The Chinyika Parish has been taking part in the Church and Community Mobilization Programme since 2018. As a result, the local church and their community are responding to the challenges they face, working together to pursue long-term sustainable initiatives. These include the construction of family houses, applying climate-smart agricultural methods to their farms, setting up Savings Groups and venturing into small business enterprises.

After conducting a village needs assessment, the community decided that the most needed facility was a dispensary. In collaboration with village and church leaders, the people of Chinyika agreed to fundraise for the project themselves, bought the land, and are currently building the dispensary. This initiative has resulted in an offer by the district council to cover the roofing costs once the structure is complete.

These pictures show some of the developments as a result of the CCMP - a catechist's new house and thriving farm, and the foundations for the new dispensary in June 2023.
