What is TCD?

TCD stands for Transformational Community Development.  TCD is the model that Global Hope Network International (GHNI) uses to help the poorest villages of the world transform themselves.

The goal is to help poor towns and villages achieve TCD Sustainability-holistic, sustainable transformation-in five critical areas:

• Water - Secure enough clean water for every person, every day
• Food - Grow an adequate, nutritious food supply
• Wellness - Practice basic TCD wellness in every household, decreasing disease by two-thirds
• Income - Double the daily income per household
• Education - Provide primary-level education for every girl and boy

Key Transformation Values:

• Holistic - Transformation happens through holistic, sustainable approaches to problems and their solutions.
• Ownership - Villages can solve most of their own problems by wisely drawing on locally-available resources.
• Partnership - Healthy change requires healthy partnerships between villages, government, NGOs, donors and others.
• Expectation - GHNI looks for an unprecedented wave of involvement and cooperation coming from this world-aware generation!

How it works:

• GHNI trains villages to transform themselves using their proven TCD training and curriculum
• GHNI works with village leaders
• GHNI works thru village committees and TCD trainers
• GHNI involves compassionate worldwide partners (like us!)
• GHNI expects, tracks and rewards village success
