Describe the need affecting community
How will this Advance project help to address the need?
The GYTTE ministry facilitates different kinds of educational experiences for people to build upon what they have with the local resources that surround them. While also reinforcing their abilities to apply and implement the eco-technologies learned, and empower others to do the same. People learn by experiencing, practicing, doing and sharing with others.
Describe the primary goal of the project
GIVE YE THEM TO EAT (GYTTE) was founded as a social outreach project of the Methodist Church of Mexico to combat hunger and poverty in the rural sector. The primary goal is to strengthen the capabilities of marginalized people and communities to meet their basic needs, and to determine and sustain a just and integrated development process so people can achieve the full promise and potential of their life as a child of God. Participatory methods and development tools are used to create conditions in which change can take place from within the communities. GYTTE uses people-centered approaches to development. It is through our various programs that this goal is achieved.
