Among the guests National Director of cold india antony ranch and his kenyan counterpart patrick kyoko. The meeting is taking place on a cold thin anniversary 50 years of cold Thing International but the atmosphere is located as always the focus is on personal exchanges. Some of. The baggage gladbach is just a few kilometers outside cologne this is where coping international is headquartered the organization was founded in 1969. The 1st project was a campaign to provide Vocational Training for young brazilians this Catholic Social Services association now has some 400000 members in 60 countries. The regional departments coordinate the International Operation from cologne they do this in the spirit of adolpho called paying whose personal. Mentor social justice inspired the coldly movement. Being said the needs of the time will teach you what to do. In the mid 19th century the Catholic Priest and all of called being set up societies to empower pull workers from those Humble Beginnings the Catholic Social Services organization eventually grew into a Worldwide Network empowering the poor. In other continents not in europe but in latin america in asia and africa the coping families are what the journeymans unions used to be in europe people empowering themselves. Through the partnership was our fundamental principle that we used to promote a kind of sponsorship we provided Development Aid but this concept is passed that shelf life and been replaced by Development Cooperation which only works as a partnership so for years i dont decide here in cologne what would be good somewhere else in the world were on this journey together. Often vick directly opposite coping internationals Administration Building is the Franciscan Church of the Immaculate Conception severely damaged in bombing raids during the 2nd world war the church has since been restored. It contains the tomb of king who died in 1965. If you. Pick. For the delegates attending the Plenary Session this church is a place of pilgrimage they often attend mass here together. You. Call pings conviction that a commitment to social justice is fundamental to christian belief continues to inspire them thats also true for anthony raj of india. Is a city of 1000000 residents in southeast india this is where called being has its National Headquarters. The working day always begins with a prayer. That. There are more than 2700 coping families in india its the largest section after germany father anthony raj has been director of culp in india for the past 10 years. From. The world. Vision. And separate property with dozens of little houses on it is one of most unusual projects since 2016 this settlement has been providing shelter for people who have an especially hard life in india and suffer from discrimination. Transgender people as he dress surprisingly perhaps hardly any of the residents are coping members or even christians. The community provides support. Looked down on by Indian Society in general and often rejected by their families some of them form alternative families of their own. Many have learned a trade or even have a University Degree but its almost impossible for them to find a regular job most resort to begging or become sex workers the community here and having adequate housing helps them to get a fresh start. The next step will be to secure an income. While. Were also people and created by god we havent done anything wrong were like other people but nobody understands us. Everyone thinks that if they have anything to do with us well try to make them transgender. Society discriminates against us. Before cold being got involved he draws lived here in hearts that were often burned down or vandalised. The theological debate in the Catholic Church about sexual ethics and gender identity seems irrelevant here. Gulping india takes a pragmatic approach. Discriminating the people its the against christ here we go into the controversy off practice of lesbian is. What they were there are so human being are being a human that we need to support the muscle for brothers and sisters that we need to support them so that they come up and then life. In them some are just not that to make it nearly just controversy already in the other. The kenyan capital nairobi the local coping association is taking german visitors on a tour of mccarthy a slum where more than half a 1000000 people live in appalling conditions usually without a leg. Izadi all fresh water theres no sanitation and no garbage collection the crime rate is very high. It. Is going to tell him i thought i am i think its very important to have seen Something Like this then you know what youre working for back in germany at all of course its great to work on projects but when you actually see whats behind the work its so much easier to understand the bigger picture. At the center of the slum is a project started by some benedict sculpting family named after their parish in germany with the Training Programs in these weaving and carpentry workshops the coping family has been providing local young people with Vocational Training and helping them earn a living. But the mood here is currently tense the original partnership ended and a new one hasnt been found yet. Their movement. Been formally partnership and that. In. Germany is a partnership so that we can work together. The outlook is brighter in our tire a province 150 kilometers from nairobi. The consul and. Families have strong ties with their german partners. Hina outs and his wife patron head the german Partner Group and had been working with coping kenya for more than 20 years bad mates that it wasnt always easy but the partnership has withstood failures and disappointments. And some of my trips to kenya i did end up feeling a bit sad that things werent working out as intended. But this time i had the impression that everything was going very well as it makes me very happy that after more than 25 years this partnership is so strong that were welcoming the coping family. They take pride in showing us their project. Some of the projects are ones that we sponsored. Then i can tell the people ive brought here look thats where your money is going. One of the successful programs is the goat project the german visitors can see the results of their sponsorship. You have spent this go. Yeah. I mean i know from a family receives a go to produce milk to produce meat and to produce manure. And they have to give the 1st or 2nd go thats born to the next family they can keep the others i mean you can see for yourself theyve got 3 now. Heman bogo region 80 kilometers northeast of nairobi here to go to projects have met with 6. Yes. However the biggest problem is drought most of the 1300 culkin members in kenya are farmers access to water so that they can cultivate their crops is vital to their survival one idea has proved very successful vertical backs these plant banks help make the most of the water that is their most valuable resource. Projects with such a positive impact help make coping attractive to many people. I think. By many people during the quarter. But of course they have to go by their membership. To be. A citizen of this country and i. Saw many people will not satisfy this and therefore we still have a Smaller Group but 2 yeah working for the community. A year later. There. Was. More than 80 percent of kenyas population is christian a quarter of these are catholics. In the villages the orange clothing worn by the coal ping members is a common sight thanks to their social commitment and the success of their projects members are highly respected. The National Headquarters of culp in kenya in nairobi. Patrick yoko has been National Director since 2013 he took up his post had a difficult time there was friction between members with various tribal affiliations. We are beyond. That. With. And without bringing the politics and the lineage in in the courting and the for now we are saying we have grown beyond the tribal lines and you find out you. Are all mixed up. Faith has been working as a project manager at the National Headquarters for the past 3 years. She introduced the vertical back project here as an agricultural scientist she understands the problems that farmers face. Kenyas Management Team visits the various groups regularly face a movie also instructs the members on how to use the vertical sacks. A man challenge right now is their Climate Change because for their previous years on that rain has not been well so most of the groups they depend on agriculture and have ridden or rain there is a lot of drought and for them food is that are becoming a challenge. Its exhausting work and a michael drawing water is a routine chore. The well is 12 metres deep when im lucky i can get between 8 and 1020 later canisters but now in the dry season i can only draw for canisters a day sometimes even less. Then the water has to be carried. The drought is severe in this region it hasnt rained for months often people have to walk kilometers to fetch water. For them or tuna family and Josephine Patrick who are members of the kitchen family the vertical banks ease their food shortage somewhat. But instead of 3 meals a day the people here have to make do with just one. And the 10000 liter water tanks donated by their german partners are no use at the moment because theres been no rain. Theres no one. Problem. When we get the money we buy. And then we find the money later on. But many families have been able to help themselves with a savings scheme banking its called they form small groups with micro credit financing. A long time alone does not exist. And they. Take a week. To be paid back after week. Fulda a city in central germany is famous for its barrack architecture. The local coping organization is holding an event in the center of town. That virtually all the german diocesan sections are partnered with a country in the global south. Gauge mint in those regions is very strong of course its strongest in catholic areas because we have more members there. A crucial pillar of coal being internationals work is the willingness of germans to donate. In infancy. In the more than 40 years weve been running the Brazil Campaign now called the one World Campaign weve collected more than 2000 tons of secondhand clothing and more than 5000000 euros in cash which we used to sponsor projects. Back to india to the coping families and their milk cooperative in money on Party Village they were able to start the project in 2010 after receiving a donation of 7 cattle. One cow produces about 80 liters of milk each day that provides families with an additional income of about 200. 00 rupees or 2 euros 50 a day. The women take the milk to a collection point some 270 liters are brought here each day. The greater the fat content the higher the milk price. Twice a day a tanker collects the milk and takes it to a dairy. And there then by the by the want to go business took off in 2013 and became profitable. And it was even better the next year were not the only ones who have been profiting so have all the coping members and our Village Community is well. Born to be in that i have the last. 2 kilometers from headquarters in chennai india has set up a model farm at the center the father of the movement. For. The project aims to show local people that organic farming can be profitable as well as environmentally friendly for instance how organic compounds to can replace chemical fertilizers. A Training Center is in the middle of the farm gulping is currently offering sewing courses to local women here. Many of the women want to learn something for some its an outlet for their creativity for others its their only source of income. In the.

But only this election was supporting my husband and running this business gives me courage and selfconfidence im going to leave it ive been to that question. Husband also works in her business by her side which is still unusual here in india. Ive shared my experience through my wife she thought shared with a lot of work with.
