Jesus came that we might have abundant life, and AID believes that that life extends to the whole person living in community.
AID’s Sustainable Communities Program works with Anglican Church Partners in the Pacific, Papua New Guinea, and parts of Africa, the Middle East and South-East Asia to help deliver grassroots community-driven development. We believe that local communities are best-placed to know what programs they want and what assistance they need from our partners. Partners are encouraged to work closely with communities to ensure communities are “in the driving seat” of development projects.
AID works closely with our church partners, supporting them to be effective and efficient, so that they, in turn, can bring Jesus’ promise of abundant life to the communities they work with.
With our partners, we promote a strengths-based approach to development that is inclusive, encourages participation, empowers women, and fosters positive and sustainable change. Our Sustainable Communities projects support local communities to address climate change, gender equality, disability and social inclusion, to work for improved food security and livelihoods, improved access to water, sanitation and hygiene, adult literacy, and some early childhood projects. With sustainability in mind, we also encourage our partners both to work with their own governments, and to help their local communities advocate for better services from government at all levels.
