[ePrayer – Pray for programme in Afghanistan]
In 2012 about 22,000 persons have benefit from the programme. The programme has established self-help groups to give weekly basic health education, literacy classes and to advocate on issues related to gender, conflict resolution, female education, nutrition, disaster mitigation and management. In the beginning there was resistance among men to participate. It was difficult for the community to understand the idea of ownership and development. Now both men and women are realising the value of learning new subjects, which helps to address some of their most basic needs and issues.
Pray for programme in Afghanistan:
- Partner’s agency is in a looking for a long-term Director from April this year. Pray that God to send this person to fullfill this very important role;
- Pray for safety of all staff, local and expatriate, and for the communities with whom they work. Thank God for new expatriate team members, and for those considering joining soon;
- Pray for each one as they live and work in an often stressful environment. Local staff to continue their vision with hearts of service for their own people.
