Community Development

What is Transformational Community Development?

Transformational Community Development (TCD) is GHNI’s coaching-based process for helping villages transform themselves and break the cycle of extreme poverty.

TCD staff help villages form sustainable development committees in five main areas, then coach them in the 4L’s:

  • L1 Low Cost solutions
  • L2 Low Tech applications
  • L3 Local Resources utilization
  • L4 Local Leadership empowerment

The aim is to build strong, self-reliant communities that are able to identify their own needs, develop their own solutions, and implement their own projects. TCD Projects usually take 3-5 years.
