Irish Methodist World Development & Relief walks alongside 13 global partners, to see more people free themselves from poverty.

Our partners are all led by local people who understand their context better than we ever could. They are people of integrity with many years experience in community development and service provision.

Our partners are involved in a wide range of programmes from water and sanitation, healthcare and education, to agriculture, rights training and climate change.

Together, we can make the world a better place.

Your fundraising through your 'Step Up' challenge can have a significant impact and help our partners continue their life-changing work!

Without land, without a home, without an address, do we officially exist? How do we get a foothold in society? Church Land Programme (CLP) works to affirm, learn from and journey with those who are systematically excluded and impoverished in their struggles related to land and housing injustice. David Ntseng and his small team help local people, largely in informal settlements, develop their collective political voice in order to claim what is rightfully theirs. Activities include hosting community dialogues around housing allocations, advising on use of government funding for church reconstruction (community hubs), offering spaces for community leaders to learn and destress, supporting women’s cooperatives to assign and manage land and coordinating community groups in learning from each other on livelihoods and food production. CLP’s role is one of walking alongside local people as they raise their voices.
