We Research & Design New Interventions

Drawing upon best practice research, we design economic development interventions that we believe churches can use to minister holistically to people who are poor. The interventions take into account the different capacities of churches as well as the nature of the economies and cultures in which those churches reside. In the Majority World, our Microfinance with Education interventions focus on equipping churches to use microfinance, microenterprise development, household financial literacy, and health training. In North America, our Work & Savings interventions focus on jobs preparedness, matched savings programs (individual development accounts), and financial literacy training.
