Community Development

Henry Martyn Institute’s Community Development programme is initiated in the communally sensitive areas of old city of Hyderabad. The main focus of the programme is to give a common space for Hindus and Muslims to come together, interact, learn different skills and thereby develop better relationships across the faith and caste barriers.

CD initiatives are designed as practical peace building models to promote peace in the communities that are divided on communal lines, by using sustainable development as a strategy. The varied groups of men, women, youth and children are involved in the peace building processes. Education, health, skill development, income generation, peace building & conflict transformation trainings, HIV/AIDS awareness, partnering for peace, etc, are some of the programmes conducted as part of it. .
