Public benefits
The public benefits that flow from the purpose of the advancement of Christianity are the transformation in lives and communities. These benefits are demonstrated through teaching, training and empowerment of community members and leaders. This purpose is not harmful. The beneficiaries are church members, leaders and students in Mozambique, Mexico
and other countries where partnerships are developed. These participants are trained and empowered to go into their communities and bring about transformation on a community scale. There is no private benefit flowing from this purpose. The public benefits that flow from the purpose of the prevention or relief of poverty include increased ability of individuals and families to create and live from sustainable incomes. These benefits are evidenced through acquisition of skills leading to increased self-sustainability and the establishment and maintenance of micro-enterprises and centers for the most marginalised. Regular reports are made by staff on the ground and visits by directors to the projects. This purpose is not harmful. The beneficiaries are those in poverty in Mozambique, Mexico and other countries where we work in partnership with local churches. The public benefits that flow from the advancement of education are trained and equipped community leaders. These benefits are demonstrated through educational and training programmes in partnership with local churches through training centres, schools and Bible seminaries with the purpose of nurturing holistic knowledge-based development. A particular emphasis is placed on teaching children to read with the obvious benefit to advance in their general education. This purpose is not harmful. The beneficiaries include community and church leaders, students, adults and children. There is no private benefit flowing from this purpose. The public benefits that flow from the advancement of health are increased health awareness, independence and support for those most marginalized and their families. These benefits are evidenced through regular community health seminars, health awareness and provision and modification of mobility aids. This purpose is not harmful. The beneficiaries are the general public in Mozambique who receive health awareness training, and those with specific health needs that we are able to meet. There is no private benefit flowing from these purposes. The public benefits that flow from the advancement of community development include self-sufficient communities able to feed their families, send their children to school and pay for healthcare. These benefits are evidenced by our support of educational and training programmes through churches, training centres, schools and Bible seminaries with the purpose of nurturing community transformation. We seek to find practical ways to help those most marginalized from society. A current micro enterprise project, making crafts to sell in Mozambique enables them to send their children to school and provide healthcare for their families. This purpose is not harmful. The beneficiaries are all those who live in the needy communities in the countries in which we work. The trust’s purpose of promoting Christianity also has the direct benefit of advancing conflict resolution and reconciliation, since Christianity teaches everyone to treat others as they would like to be treated, including those of different religious beliefs and practices. It forbids retaliation and promotes repentance, forgiveness and reconciliation, and teaches all members to treat those who differ with toleration and respect. This purpose is not harmful. The beneficiaries are communities in Northern Ireland, Mozambique and Mexico. There is no private benefit flowing from this purpose.
... [more] [less]What your organisation does
TLC exists to see the transformation of lives and communities in Less Economically Developed Countries. Our primary goal is to partner with churches to pioneer, train & empower leadership to implement sustainable grass roots community development initiatives. In order to fulfill this vision, we have a strategic partnership relationship with the
international missionary organisation, One Mission Society. At the beginning our partnership was focused on the impoverished country of Mozambique, though during 2014, a new partnership was formed in support of work in Mexico. We will from time-to-time partner with other non profit organisations to provide specialist resources and training. Our vision is to develop community development projects that will empower locals without creating dependence. Poverty, lack of education, poor health awareness, lack of clean drinking water, AIDS, disease and illiteracy cripple many communities. As Christians, we cannot ignore these gripping needs. We believe that local churches can play a central role in bringing about positive change but they are hindered to do so because there is a lack of training and appropriate resources. We desire to support church groups and help establish new ones.
