"My mind is young, it's the body that's old."
This was one farmer's response when asked if he had a vision for his life. His comment summarized what many of his neighbors felt. Though a better life had passed them by, they still dreamed for their children and grandchildren. RMI through it's sister organization in the Philippines, REACH, Inc., shares that same dream.
We believe that God is eternally biased in favor of the weak, the oppressed, and the helpless. RMI supports the imaginative use of resources to build a better community.
Emergency and disaster relief, medical care, and capitalization for economic projects are just a few ways RMI has assisted REACH and other projects in the Developing World.
In recent years, micro-finance projects helped upgrade the well-being of specific communities, promoted stewardship, and helped the needy maximize limited resources through savings groups.
Men and women living transformed lives through Christ are the ideal agents of change in their communities, social groups, and institutions. Therefore, development projects include values formation as a critical component for change.
Recently, REACH in the Philippines established the Resources Development Cooperative to more effectively implement development and transformational projects.
