Learning About Government Services Helps!

Many times villagers are unaware of what government services are available to them. Learning about them brings encouragement and hope.

“The key things of TCD have changed my life,” says Rachanna*. “There are six members in my family. I joined the Transformational Community Development (TCD) program from the beginning. TCD classes are very effective in our community. The economic condition of my family was very poor. We didn’t know about the services provided by the local governments. When the TCD group was formed, we were made aware of the government services which helped bring change in my family. The seed money that I received the first time and what my teacher taught me has helped greatly. This is a big financial change for our family. And now I am very happy to thank GHNI.”

Thank you!

Transformational Community Development (TCD) Update

TCD© is GHNI’s coaching-based process for helping villages transform themselves and break the cycle of extreme poverty.

Education

The school was closed due to the summer holidays this month, and the children were staying at home. But five of the children suffered from the common cold. I went to their homes and met them. They were encouraged.

Water

This month, children were taught about the dangers of germs and diseases caused by drinking dirty water and how to drink plenty of safe water and more water to keep the body healthy.

Wellness

I taught about health and skin diseases and advised seven people to go to the hospital. While visiting their homes, some children looked like they were malnourished, and I advised them to go to the hospital for treatment.
