Micro finance workers from nine different countries visited the Center for Community Transformation (CCT) Group of Ministries community center in Taguig City as part of their learning activities during the third Transformative Economic Empowerment (TEE) training session held in October 2013. The visit allowed the TEE participants to talk with staff and beneficiaries about the programs and services offered by the community center.
The TEE attendees are from Sri Lanka, Peru, India, Moldova, Zambia, Kenya,
Thailand, Uganda, and the US. The weeklong training session they attended was a
collaborative activity of CCT and the CCT Ka-Partner Network, a consortium of
US-based organizations ministering to the poor through partnership with MF
institutions or churches in other countries. The members of the CCT Ka-Partner Network are Hope International, Peer Servants, endPoverty, and Five Talents.
The Taguig Community Center offers micro
finance services, pre-school education, basic medical check ups, and Brigada
Bata training. Worship services of the
CCT-Taguig community church are also held there.
CCT branch offices throughout the country
which at the moment simply offer micro finance services will gradually be
converted into community centers over the next several years.
