Community development.

Magungu Parish has been taking part in the Church and Community Mobilization Programme (CCMP) since 2018. The training has included bible-study, climate-smart agricultural techniques, and the formation and mobilization of Savings Groups to enable members to invest in farming activities and new business enterprises. As a result of the training, the church and their community has been working on new initiatives such as:

• A new church building and seven new classrooms.

Church members have converted their previous church into a vicarage, so that the money that they were using to rent a house for the pastor can be used towards building a new, larger, church.. Church members raised money to make cement concrete blocks, and have laid the foundations. They now need to find other materials to make bricks and continue with the building. The pictures below show the new foundations in 2023 and church members worshipping outside.
 
The school in Magungu needed more classrooms to accommodate all of the children. Therefore, the church and community have worked together to develop links with the local government to access finance to build seven new classrooms.  This will benefit parents and children across several villages and people are contributing financially, helping to clear the land and dig the foundations. Once the superstructure is complete, the district council will cover the roofing costs. This picture shows the building works in 2023.
