Lucrezia lives in Zacapoaxtla, a region often called the “Switzerland of Puebla” because of its steep slopes and cool, mountainous terrain. While beautiful, this landscape presents real challenges for farmers.
That’s where Purpose Groups come in.

Through research, interviews, & pastoral feedback, one truth became clear: churches are deeply committed to discipleship & outreach, but they are stretched thin & wary of anything that adds complexity.
That clarified our goal: Tend exists to help congregations thrive.

When Ato’s Purpose Group in Ethiopia’s Ziragn watershed started working, its members didn’t anticipate just how far the small group would go. For Ato, a committed member of the group, those first seeds signaled the beginning of real, lasting change.

Faith isn’t only about “churchy” behaviors... Faith is stewardship that reflects love, integrity, humility, and responsibility.
“Let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.”
1 John 3:18

"What makes this approach effective is its focus on interconnectedness. PWP recognizes that restoring one area of the watershed has ripple effects, benefiting the entire ecosystem downstream." Arbor Day Foundation includes insights from Doug Satre & Milmer Martinez Vergara:

If you could describe what you hope this year holds for you in a word, it would be... 👇
Around the world, Plant With Purpose participants like Timothy are proving that the cycle of poverty and environmental degradation can be reversed. What once felt like scarcity can become sufficiency and even surplus.
“Before PWP came, I used to think that work was a result of sin. But I remember attending one of the trainings, where I was taught that work was entrusted to man. Now, I spend most of my time in the field, and enjoy working, because I am convinced that God is pleased with that.”
Plant With Purpose began working in the Lwafwa area and partnered with Timothy’s local church. As an active member of the congregation, Timothy immediately became involved.
For Timothy, a father of six living in the Lwafwa watershed of Malawi, life has often felt like an uphill climb. Like many in his community, he carried the burden of responsibility for his family with limited resources and uncertain opportunities.
Let's hear it for Timothy in Malawi, a smallholder farmer who has harvested an incredible amount of cassava.
Y'all are discussing the wrong Timothy today...
"Between 2026-2028, Plant with Purpose will help about 469,131 people access their savings groups and agricultural training in Burundi, DRC, Ethiopia, and Tanzania." Thank you, @AllAccess, for your incredible video and for believing in this work!
