Community Development with a Focus on Agroecology
November 13th to 24th of 2025
Our usual approach is based on Asset-Based Development (ABD), which builds upon the strengths, capacities, and resources already existing in communities. From this perspective, we support processes that promote agroecological sustainability, food security, and the holistic care of creation, recognizing the relationship between body, mind, spirit, and environment. We believe that restoring the connection with God's creation contributes not only to physical health but also to the emotional and spiritual well-being of families and communities.
