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

Who Is GHNI?

Global Hope Network International (GHNI) is a non-profit, private humanitarian aid organization headquartered in Orlando, Florida and Geneva, Switzerland. Through a committed team of both staff and volunteers, Global Hope Network International is dedicated to serving the “hidden and hurting” in more than 38 countries around the world. They focus on the overlooked or hidden persons in war zones, natural disasters and under-developed countries by providing aid and sustainable development through food and water supply, medical care, agriculture, education and micro-enterprise.

Their mission in their own words:

In today’s society, human cruelty is rampant and those without an advocate have little or no means in which to find aid or refuge. Global Hope Network International is committed to bringing help and hope to the hidden and hurting around the world. Our goal is to assist and provide humanitarian aid to the overlooked, discriminated and marginalized men, women and children who might not otherwise see any aid in their unreached region or province.
We also facilitate and encourage people through programs rich in community development, agriculture, education, medical care and micro-enterprise. This allows families and individuals to become strong and independent, moving them away from poverty and despair. This is made possible through local agencies and partnerships in country, which allow us to design specific programs for people groups that are in greatest need.
