Challenges and Hope: A Congregation's Perspective on Sustainable Development in Tanzania

This forum explores the intersection of faith and social responsibility, focusing on Bethel Lutheran Church in Winchester, Virginia. It highlights three key goals: fostering sustainable development, nurturing Christ-centered partnerships, and promoting local ownership of projects. Through Selian Lutheran Hospital, a semi-urban healthcare facility in Tanzania, the church serves the poor and sick in the name of Jesus Christ. Additionally, the MaaSae Girls Lutheran Secondary School empowers Maasae girls through education, aiming to transform the future by supporting girls like Nanyokye Nasira, the first female Maasae doctor.
