Kentro Domestic
Kentro is excited to be incubating a new network for Christian community development in Canada.
We say incubating because if we’ve discovered anything our 40+ years of network facilitation, its that networks can only be sustainable if they are member-led. There are so many organizations doing amazing work in Canada with a heart for greater collaboration, connection and support. Kentro’s job is to create the conditions under which that collaboration, connection and support can happen.

Did you know?
Did you know there are over 2200 Canadian Christian charities doing local community development and engagement?
And yet, the social and spiritual needs only continue to increase. We know that poverty is too big for one organization to face on its own, which is why we need to work together and mutually support one another in this important work. Currently, no one is formally facilitating networking among these 2200 organizations, but as the African proverb says, ‘Alone we go faster, together we go further’.
So, let’s go together!
We are grateful for the countless people who have created the space and time to meet to help us discern and begin weaving this network so far. This list is too long to mention!
We are grateful to Daria Nardozza who catalyzed the beginnings of this network, and for the Small Task Force (∗) and Advisory Team (†) who helped shape the vision of this network:

- Jesse Sudirgo (Tyndale Seminary) ∗ †

Collaboration is at the center
Organizations can’t fight poverty on their own. Get connected. We are stronger together.
