Footsteps is a quarterly newsletter for health and development workers. Through it, Tearfund hopes to provide encouragement, inspiration and practical ideas for Christians often working with little access to funding, training or resources. It aims to share information, ideas, contacts and experience in a Christian context at grassroots level. Footsteps encourages a holistic approach to development and seeks to build up local capacity.
Each issue concentrates on a different topic. Recent issues have included topics such as literacy, theatre in development, financial management, pollution, facilitation skills, water and the impact of HIV on children. Over 60 issues have now been produced. This site contains back copies of all issues which you can search by topic.
It is produced in seven languages – English, French (Pas á Pas), Spanish (Paso a Paso), Portuguese (Passo a Passo), Chinese, Bangla and Hindi.
