From "Give
Ye Them To Eat" - An Integrated Development Program
serving vulnerable families in the rural sector of South Central Mexico
since 1977.
At the
GYTTE program's "Tree
of Life" Training Center villagers and students are offered informal
training in Health, Community, Agricultural and Livestock Development
as well as in Church and Faith Development. The technologies and skills
they learn at the Center can be adopted and adapted to their own local
needs.
The
children, youth and
adults served by the program staff could not participate in the
training events GYTTE offers if they had to pay for these learning
experiences. Those who come for training cover their transportation
expenses and sacrifice paid work days to gain knowledge and new skills
to improve the lives of their family, church and community. The GYTTE
Program provides scholarships for marginalized people to prepare them
for a more secure future.
We invite
you to join us in this ministry with the rural poor of south-central
Mexico.
“More
Than A Bandage ” - Community and Family Health Scholarships: The
“Give Ye Them To Eat” program (GYTTE) sponsors
training
courses to prepare village women as community-based, primary health
providers and furnishes them with teaching materials and first-aid kits
to address preventive health measures and first aid needs in their
communities.
