We believe in empowering the church in Paraguay to embrace its calling to preach a holistic message, using our programs as a platform to proclaim the Gospel and initiate effective and ongoing discipleship relationships.
At Diakonia, we not only teach people to fish, we invest in people by allowing them to build their businesses and “buy the fishing rods!”.
Through the repayment of the thousands of investment loans we provide, we can sustainably continue to provide that opportunity again and again.
Our vision of God’s size is just beginning, and we believe, He will continue to expand His goodness over Paraguay.
To promote the holistic development of individuals, based on biblical values and Christian principles.
Diaconía was founded in 2011 to address the unmet needs of families living in settlements in the city of Asunción and its surrounding areas.
Now, we have a bolder goal: for every person in Paraguay living in poverty to understand the meaning of God’s love, restore their dignity, and find hope for a better future.
Every day, we provide families with tools to break the cycle of generational poverty and gender inequality.
I grew a lot after joining a Diaconía group. Before, I only sold hamburgers, but thanks to the loan capital, I was able to offer more products, and my business started to grow. I also grew personally, I finished my university degree while selling my products at the university.
Diaconía helped me take control of where my investment goes. I’m very grateful that Diaconía helps women to be able to move forward in life.
