The poor are getting poorer and the rich get fatter. The good news is that change is possible. Tearfund s Christian partners across the world are making a real difference to the lives of individuals and whole communities. Transform International programme gives you the chance to stand alongside them in the work that they are doing. The programme supports the work of local Christians.
Some programmes focus on physical work such as building, making water tanks, or digging.
Others concentrate on more relational tasks with children, young people or adults in a variety of projects, such as helping children with disabilities, holiday clubs, teaching English. All programmes support development projects that carry on after you ve gone home. Whatever you do, there ll be lots of time to develop relationships with local people and get involved in the regular meetings of local Christians. You ll also do a series of Bible studies and discussions on Third World issues. Your visit will leave local people encouraged to carry on the work long after you have gone.
