RCCG Africa Continent 4

Christian Social Responsibility (CSR) Making A Difference Across RCCG Africa Continent 4

Across the continent of Africa, there are violent unrest resulting in destruction of infrastructure, unemployment and poverty affecting livelihoods and lives, escalation of crime and danger, economic downturn impacting macroeconomic performance and the after effect of Covid-19 pandemic impacting lives and livelihoods.
In addition, we have gender-based violence and femicide, natural disasters like floods and hurricanes causing loss of homes, lives, livelihoods and more. Many are vulnerable, others are broken and hurting, and some have hope.
The RCCG AC4 CSR seeks to alleviate suffering and practically demonstrate the love of Jesus. This will enable us achieve the mission of the RCCG church of making it to heaven and taking as many people as possible with us.
MISSION AND OBJECTIVES
To make a difference in the lives of Christians and non-Christians by leveraging on the Church footprint to implement tailored CSR initiatives that impact the Socio-economic landscape in townsgips, cities, and countries across the Redeemed Christian Church of God Africa Continent 4 (AC4). By “Making a Difference” AC4 CSR will seek to touch and change lives, by meeting the needs of people, bringing hope, healing, and comfort in the name of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. In line with the vision of the RCCG Global CSR headquarters, the purpose and objective are founded on the scripture: Mathew 25:31, 32: 41-46.

Cyclone Freddy occurred in March 2023 and impacted Malawi, Madagascar and Mozambique. It destroyed over 132,000 homes, 640,000 people homeless, damaged over 1,000 schools and 5,000 kilometres of roads. The AC4 CSR have touched those countries.

Diesplot, South Africa is a temporary informal shelter in Johannesburg for displaced people.
