It may seem like we’re reaching for the stars, but we believe the stars are within reach. Transformation is possible. A desperately poor village can become self-sustaining. That’s where our Transformational Community Development (TCD) method comes into the story.  Our local staff or partners are trained in our TCD method to assist each village with effective guidance and coaching.

The TCD Objective — to help villages achieve TCD Sustainability in five key areas:

Water - enough clean water for drinking, cooking and hand washing
Food - sufficient nutritious food to mitigate chronic hunger and malnutrition
Wellness - basic sanitation, hygiene and disease-prevention measures in practice
Income - startup resources for dignified and sustainable family income generation
Education – access to primary level education for every girl and boy

The TCD Method is a proven approach that produces tangible results:

Local Ownership – GHNI helps village leaders and TCD Committees identify, prioritize and address their own critical quality of life issues.
Trained Guidance – GHNI trains local TCD Workers to instruct and encourage their communities using our proven TCD Curriculum.
Compassionate Partners – GHNI involves compassionate global TCD Partners in supporting development projects and nurturing global friendships.
Measurable Results – GHNI expects, tracks and rewards village successes.
Healthy Exit – As TCD Sustainability goals are achieved, GHNI exits the development work and the financial support with dignity and grace, while continuing its new friendship and involving the village in helping the next villages.
