Our Strong Village helps churches and communities meet needs with existing resources and skills, equipping them to forge their own future.

Chicken Bank

Cell churches and community groups learn how to raise chickens. Poor families receive some of the chickens that are bred to begin raising their own. Families are able to support themselves, build their income and then share their knowledge with others.

Cow Bank

Cow banks are organized by an established local committee to address the needs of impoverished widows within a community. Widows learn how to raise and care for a cow, eventually receiving offspring from the cow. These women are able to support themselves and raise their status in the community by raising the cows and the offspring the cows produce.

Savings Bank

Members learn how to plan their finances and save money as a group. Through a group savings, the members support one another while being accountable for loans and savings. So far, the project has supported families with loans to build a livelihood through purchasing chickens, sewing machines, seeds and other opportunities.

Seed Bank

With an established local committee, the Seed Bank project enables communities to have a way to be good stewards of their land. Members from both cell churches and the community are trained with technical skills on how to plant, use proper fertilization and care for their plants. After technical training, the members, especially those in need, receive seeds for planting.

Vegetable garden project

Experts train cell churches and community groups on how to efficiently select seed types, grow produce and care for the village garden. The cell church and community members, especially to those in need receive seeds. The gardens provide a healthier food source, a new source of income and unity through the village garden. Those who are successful become a pool of knowledge and share what they know to others.
