Inspiring
Imagine the impact when each church and organisation that cares about at-risk children starts working together.
In communities around the world, churches and organisations are already doing incredible things for children because they have trusted relationships, committed people, and local knowledge and resources.
But too often, they are working alone, resulting in both duplication and gaps in care.
Viva helps change that by inspiring those working with children to come together, understand what is already being done, and form networks based on a shared vision for children.
How does Viva do this?
Sometimes this means catalysing a new network in a new city or country. Sometimes a citywide movement or church collaboration already exists, and we help them consider ways they could integrate addressing the needs of at-risk children.
Viva provides an experienced Coach to guide a new network through a 5-year journey, helping them establish and flourish. This starts with situational mapping to identify the challenges and opportunities for children based on what is already happening in a city.
The Network Training Course can help the network build strong foundations and shape its identity, and through the Quality Improvement System, a network can help its member churches and organisations build capacity in areas such as safeguarding, governance, and financial accountability.
