What Is Involved in a TCD Partnership?

How Partnership Works (in GHNI’s words):

Direct: We facilitate your relationship with the village.  It’s about you helping them in their journey to sustainable transformation.
Relational: The idea is to get to know your village.  We provide regular updates, coordinate volunteer trips, and offer live video communication from the village to your group.
Investment: We never replace a village’s own investments in their transformation.  But as they invest themselves, their partners then multiply the impact by also investing financially in specific development projects in the village.
Exit: Each village knows it must become self-sustaining.  We want them to experience the dignity of being strong and independent!  So each partnership is intentionally time-limited.

• As a partner, our neighborhood is agreeing to invest $5,000 or more per year, in TCD development in Gambella, for three years, or until Gambella is self-sustaining.
• We will be provided with regular information about Gambella (by GHNI), and will be able to participate in Skype calls, receive videos and pictures, etc.
• We will have the opportunity to go to Gambella, in one of GHNI’s partner trips.
