if there is any one nigh unto universal institution that can be found in the developing world it is that of religion, it is the “church.” In places where there are no roads, no phones, no sanitation, no infrastructure whatsoever there exist networks of profound depth and breadth, already entrenched in peoples lives, that can serve as the vehicle of transmission for development projects which otherwise would take years to accumulate the credibility necessary for adoption - networks of faith. Other than those groups partnering with faith communities to take on the herculean task of hospice care for those suffering from AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa I haven’t been able to find many examples of this or even many instances of a call for this type of partnership at a grassroots level.
