Ok.

There is still a lot of work that needs to be done but I think I've put enough information and pictures on our pages linked to this one to say we're "open for business"!

Under CCMP Links you can get a broad picture of what it is we do.

Covering Documents is the legal stuff and detailed information profiles.

Under Update Reports and Previous Newsletters you can get some history.

Who's Who ? is not done yet but will eventually be a place to see who's involved somehow.

On this page I will put little update storeys as often as possible to keep our supporters, and anyone else who's interested, updated more often.

I hope you find everything informative enough.

Blessings

CCMP VISION

To be a well equipped and resourced cooperative organisation within the Christian community reaching out to poor communities through the love of Christ and developing people to become self sufficient and to live productive lives.

CCMP Mission

To the glory of God, the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom of love, justice and mercy and in accordance with sound Biblical and community development principles, our mission is to motivate, mobilize, guide, assist and coordinate a combined Christian ministry addressing the needs and aspirations of the poorest of the poor, the most neglected and underprivileged peoples in our city.

CCMP Objectives

1. To live out and share a practical expression of God’s love and call to redemption for all people, particularly the poor, that is inspired by the life, work, message and redeeming sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

2. Develop sustainable working relationships with local and international churches, missions organizations, volunteer placement groups and other charitable organizations.

3. Develop sustainable working relationships with community based organizations, schools, churches, community clinics and local government offices within poor communities.

4. Create awareness of definable and quantifiable needs in poor communities.

5. Facilitate activities that allow benefactors to meaningfully and continually contribute to the development of the poor through established working relationships with community organisations.

6. Support the work of qualifying community projects in their efforts to meet the challenges of poverty and killer diseases such as HIV/AIDS and TB through the distribution of donated goods (particularly food) and the support of skilled “working hands” through term volunteers.

7. Develop more focused partnerships with identified community projects where possible, assisting them to grow into self-sustaining developmental community based organisations.

8. Maintain an independent platform registered as a legal entity with the appropriate levels of management, administration and accountability to facilitate all activities.

9. Develop and maintain sustainable support.
