BANGLADESH

WHAT WE DO

Almost half of the population of Bangladesh lives on less than one dollar a day. Moreover, about one-third of the country floods each year during the monsoon season. Yet, despite these hurdles, the Bangladesh people have made great strides in improving their lives over the past three decades. Through programs in health, literacy, justice education, small business development, and income generation, people are learning to overcome poverty permanently.

PEOPLE’S INSTITUTION: A LEADERSHIP MODEL OF SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

The People’s Institution in Bangladesh consists of representatives from the Community Central Committee – groups formed by men and women together. Various groups have been formed within the Community Central Committee, including a Primary Group of Men, a Primary Group of Women, Adolescent Boys Groups, Adolescent Girls Groups, and Children’s Groups with both boys and girls. It operates under six core values: sharing and learning, unity and cooperation, caring and serving, love and respect, stewardship, and shared vision and mission.

World Renew promotes integrated, sustainable, transformational community development through five capacity dimensions: sustainable community with shared vision, effective and participative learning, gender equity and equality practices existing in the community, program quality and results-based achievements, and values being practiced.

The Leadership and Management Structure of the People’s Institution incorporates a specific society of committees, a general board, and programs, outlined below.

ABOUT WORLD RENEW

Vision
World Renew envisions a world where people experience and extend Christ’s compassion and live together in hope as God’s community.

Mission
Compelled by God’s deep passion for mercy and justice, World Renew joins communities around the world to change their story from poverty to restoring creation, from injustice to reconciling relationships (shalom) and from disaster to renewing hope.

Values
World Renew has defined a series of values by which we intend to do our work and want to be held accountable for. In essence, World Renew’s tagline that focuses on Micah 6:8 captures the overriding values and motivations for our work: “Doing justice, loving mercy and serving Christ” in all we do. This is demonstrated by these more specific values:

Faith: We seek to understand God’s will in all we do. We encourage a worldview of faith and trust in God who can give a hope-filled energy for each person to fulfill His purpose.
Effectiveness: We are innovative, resourceful and continual learners with partners and communities to ensure timely, appropriate, proactive and excellent interventions.
People Flourishing: We treat each person equally as an image-bearer of God, including them as partners in decisions and plans that affect them and in pursuit of the fullness of life that God has promised and intended.
Stewardship: We are grateful recipients of God’s gifts to us. We steward these gifts with integrity, accountability and systems of reporting that honour both the intent of the donors and the flourishing of people in communities.
