Church and Community Mobilization (CCMP) is the process where local churches work with its local community to identify and respond to their needs together.
In other word it aims at empowering people to transform their situation holistically using God given locally available resources across the whole diocese of Kirinyaga.
This is an exciting process of mobilising the community as the church begins to be salt and light by encouraging and supporting communities to analyse their own situations and to take steps to work together to make changes for the better.
How the church and community responds to the needs identified may vary. Responses may include self-help groups, improving infrastructure, advocating for improvement of or access to services or changes to unjust laws and may also include projects to improve livelihoods
