Mission Statement |

Our Objective |
| The purpose of Compassionate Consultation Initiative Project is to share the love of Jesus Christ in ways that make a Christian difference through participating in a mission opportunity. |
|
The mission of Compassionate Consultation Initiative Project - Zimbabwe is to equip, serve and care for people at risk in a way that reduces poverty and dependence. |
|
Presently, our main objective is to assist in constructing a skills-training center, which will provide a next step for young people orphaned by AIDS.

Our basic goal in building the Skills Training Center is to develop with God's help the competencies and character traits most practical to the African context. There is need for a block of classrooms where people will develop basic survival skills using available resources to pick up the pieces of their lives shuttered by social, economic, political, and psychological depression.
|
When completed, the Skills Training Center will offer opportunities for dress making, tailoring, carpentry, fruit and vegetable canning, toll making and repairs, bookkeeping, animal husbandry and farming, metal work, and craft work.
