Posted on by 施達基金會

[ePrayer – Pray for the community development in Gansu]

20130502_eprayer_c1

The Farmers’ cooperative was established last year and started to organise community activities. Some weeks ago, the cooperative coordinated the purchase of the fertilisers for project sites and the neighbouring communities. As a result, not only the farmers can purchase the fertilisers in a cheaper price, the cooperative can also save some money for development fund. Though there were some problems in the process of coordination, the representatives can solve them timely and wisely. Give thanks that the women group has stable production and order for handicrafts. Women could earn a living by producing the Fair Trade handicrafts.

Pray for the community development in Gansu:

  • The cooperative is improving the existing regulations and trying to apply the government loan for development programmes. Pray for the future of the cooperative and pray that it acts as a catalyst which will bring forth the community transformation;
  • Pray that the production skill of the women handicraft group will be further improved and more stable orders and markets will be explored.

POVERTY IN ASIA

Partner EFICOR has just started an initiative project in slum in Delhi. There are at least 900 households in which 80% of its populations are Muslims and 20% are Hindus. It aims to adopt a combination of direct service, technical support, advocacy & networking to facilitate community development within three-year project cycle. It will specially focus on right-based gender issues and children-at-risk, and will partner with Child Evangelism Fellowship to provide value education.

There are changes in schedule and change of site visits but we thankful that he is safe and still able to meet partners and projects.

Pray for the current situation in Bangladesh

  • Pray for safety, protection and good learning and networking time with local partners by CEDAR project staff in Bangladesh;
  • Pray that peace can be restored and there can be reconciliation between the government and opposing parties. Pray that violence and instability in the country will subside.
