Discover Tearfund – VSLA

Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLAs) are community-based financial groups that empower individuals to take control of their economic future.

At Tearfund, we actively support and encourage VSLAs in rural communities. Through the VSLAs we’ve helped establish, women and men are gaining financial independence, starting small businesses, and transforming their families’ lives.

We’ve witnessed countless stories of hope, resilience, and opportunity made possible through local savings groups.

Learn more about how Tearfund is empowering communities through VSLAs at tearfund.ca

Clambering onto their neighbour’s terrace, Shylaja turned around seconds before watching a landslide tear into her home in India. She stood next to her husband and three children with nothing but the clothes off of their backs, and wondered what she could possibly do next.

Her sewing machine—her livelihood—was destroyed. Her savings for her daughter’s upcoming wedding was washed away. What could she do? Her and her family lived in a relief camp for a month, until the government moved them to a rented house. The future seemed bleak.

But when Tearfund’s partner, EFICOR, provided a new sewing machine for her, she was able to get back on her feet. Her hands fell back into the familiar thrum of sewing, and she was able to begin to provide for herself and her family once again.

Tearfund helps those affected by disasters with long-term solutions to help lift themselves out of poverty.

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” — Psalm 46:1

As the Ebola outbreak spreads in DR Congo, families are facing fear, uncertainty, and limited access to healthcare.

Please join us in praying for healing, protection, and strength for those affected and for local churches, healthcare workers, and partners responding with compassion and courage.

If you’d like to help, your gift can support local response efforts, community education, and care for vulnerable families during this crisis.

The DR Congo desperately needs your help!

Families are watching loved ones fall sick as Ebola spreads rapidly through vulnerable communities already facing conflict and poverty.

The crisis is escalating. Since the start of May, there have been over 900 suspected cases and 220 suspected deaths.

But Tearfund is responding alongside our trusted church-based partner, Communauté Baptiste au Centre de l'Afrique (CBCA), which manages a network of over 160 health facilities in the DR Congo.

CBCA is leading the emergency response, opening hospital doors to coordinate prevention efforts, treatment, and community care.

We can’t do this without you. Urgent support is needed to help stop the spread before more lives are at risk.

Our vision for the future shapes everything we do at Tearfund.

We envision a world where people are no longer held back by extreme poverty.

A world where people and communities thrive using their God-given gifts and abilities.

Where transformation takes root in individuals and communities, lasting for generations.

By partnering with local churches, you’re helping build lasting change and transforming lives — even in the hardest places.

Because poverty is not the end of someone’s story.
