What do you think of when your hear the word “Cuba”?

1/30/2023

I confess, I thought of a sunny holiday – walking along a sandy beach…  I did not know that MCC sends material resources to Cuba – and sometimes they are distributed with a horse and wagon! In 2022, the BIC Church of Cuba distributed MCC humanitarian aid to thousands of people across 10 provinces in Cuba through local relief committees. The church leaders volunteered weeks of their time to distribute aid to the most vulnerable as the country continues to experience intense shortages of both food and hygiene items.

The Great Winter Warm-Up

1/16/2023

Take the sting out of winter’s chill by joining The Great Winter Warm-up. By the end of 2023, our goal is to donate a grand total of 45,000 blankets to our global neighbors who are dealing with conflict and disaster.
 
Your participation in our Great Winter Warm-up this February will go a long way in helping us meet that goal. During the month of February 2021, 4,384 comforters were created by people like you and donated to families in countries including Syria, Ukraine and Jordan. Your time and creative talents are helping to share a tangible message of God’s love with those in need.
 
Together, we can share warmth and comfort to our global neighbours.

From cow manure to comforters. Saving time and trees with a biodigester gives time for making comforters.

Mudombo used to spend many hours each week collecting wood that she needed to cook her family’s dinner over an open fire. Dead wood is increasingly hard to find because of deforestation, so she and her friends walked long distances into remote and sometimes dangerous areas of the forest to find fuel.
 
But in 2022, Mennonite Central Committee’s partner Score Against Poverty (SCORE) helped Mudombo and her husband, Elnathan Mboweni, get an underground biodigester on their farm in Joseph Village. Now, every day, one of them mixes cow manure with water and pours the mixture into the digester, which turns the manure into gas energy.

In Zimbabwe, simple, eco-friendly technology opens opportunities for more time, income and empowerment for women.

The fuel-efficient stove in Ntombizodwa Mapfacha’s dirt courtyard in Mwenezi District, Zimbabwe, doesn’t look like a life-changing piece of technology. It looks like a 2-foot high, round metal can.
 
Nevertheless, this sturdy stove not only cooks a traditional, family-size meal of sadza (thick cornmeal) and beans. It also is empowering Mapfacha and other women in Mwenezi District.
 
No longer does Mapfacha have to walk six miles every other day to find firewood in the mountain, where she is wary of poisonous snakes and men who could take advantage of her in the remote area. The new stove cooks with just a few pieces of wood and dried corn cobs, which she can gather close to home.
 
“Empowerment is giving voice, giving opportunities for people to choose what they want to do,” Pugeni says. “Even to speak out for themselves confidently, access information. Explore the talents that they have.” Read more at https://mcccanada.ca/stories/powerful-change-technology-can-bring
