About Us

Strategy of Transformation recognizes the most powerful and renewable resource in high-risk communities resides within the communities themselves – the web of people, relationships and institutions that sustain the life of the community. The critical need is to recognize, network and mobilize local leaders to activate these resources in a sustainable way.

Unfortunately, the leaders who are closest to the needs are often overlooked and overwhelmed. They do not receive the encouragement or training they desperately need. As a result, high-risk communities are vulnerable to well-meaning but unsustainable solutions that are foreign and artificially imposed. Solutions that are not owned and led by the communities themselves suffer along with the people. They fail to experience transformation from the inside out.

Therefore, Strategy of Transformation, together with its partners Christian Reformed World Missions & Center for Transforming Mission are committed to offering affordable and accessible training that inspires and equips grassroots leaders to be agents of transformation in the context of chronic poverty and violence.
