Definition of the Organization

CASM is an ecumenical organization that helps strengthen the processes of democratization and local and regional development in Honduras. Promote citizen participation of sectors of civil society, establishing relationships of respect, dialogue and consultation with local governments, based on a Christian ethic with a focus on the human development of the poorest families and communities in Honduras. CASM is based on the fact that God is the center of the universe and the family is the fundamental unit of society. Under this Christian concept, of the Anabaptist-Mennonite tradition, based on love, peace, justice, nonviolence and solidarity, is that as an institution, we believe that all families have the right to social integration, use and Rational use of resources, to have more opportunities and greater capacity for management and negotiation, so that they can obtain a greater participation in social, economic, political, cultural, spiritual and, therefore, greater, better condition and quality of lifetime. CASM is an institution that works hand in hand with community, municipal, regional and other alliances, so that they can be strengthened and empowered as representative and democratic structures and become political subjects. CASM is an institution that provides timely care to families in an emergency situation, without political, economic, religious and social distinction, which provides continuous support to the most vulnerable families in their social, productive revival and preparedness for future disasters. CASM is an institution that participates in different national and international networks to influence important issues that contribute to generate positive changes, aimed at improving the quality of life of the target population.
