The Council’s wide-ranging report goes on to affirm the ‘vital role’ that faith-based organisations have to play in eradicating poverty in the developing world and describes how the Church plays its part in this fight through co-operative working, including funding micro-finance schemes, with its partner churches around the world.
Its contribution also includes financial assistance. In the wake of Cyclone Sidr, the World Mission Council made a grant of £20,000 to the Church of Bangladesh to help in relief and reconstruction work. Another emergency grant of £40,000 was sent to the Presbyterian Church of East Africa to enable it to provide relief after ethnic violence broke out across Kenya after the disputed presidential elections in December.
