MayBell Developments started in 2015 with a vision of ending poverty through a ‘tiny-home’ community, constructed and occupied at low cost for those experiencing poverty or homelessness in Regina, Saskatchewan.
Local research led to two important observations: that relationship and community are key to addressing ending poverty, and that women and children are the demographic most frequently turned away from shelter due to capacity in our community.
The Encouragement Program is the structure through which we offer supportive programming. It is currently offering our Faith & Finances program and will be the foundation of program delivery for Lilium Village.
Our Advocacy Project came about in our journey of local research. It became evident that too often we look at poverty without truly looking at the individuals within the experience. Check out our #maybellstories
Our vision is a big undertaking for us. Our engagement with the Compassion Program allows us to contribute to evangelical ministry on an international level while we establish our mission here in our home community.
“It’s been almost 5 years now since I started volunteering with Maybell Developments. Not only do I have a fuller picture of the issues and challenges [participants] face, I also have names and faces linked to this picture. My compassion quotient has increased, and I sense I’m nearer the side of Christ as I walk with these women.”
“MayBell Development’s vision to work toward ending poverty through faith-based and relational programs really connected with my heart. What a blessing it’s been to be part of the Faith and Finances program and the Knit-a-thon, as well as seeing the exciting progress at Lilium Village!”
“This extraordinary organization is a true testimony that together (with God as our solid rock and foundation) we are much stronger together than we are apart.”
