Community Involvement and Support

CaraVita Supports the Atlanta Community

We believe in community. We recognize that building a better community is a priority both here in the metro Atlanta area, and around the world. As an organization, one of our guiding principles is to give back to both the communities that support us and those in need, to lend a helping hand to others less fortunate and to make the world better than we found it.

Providence Training Center

The Providence training center is a faith based organization that trains underprivileged men and women so they can transform their local communities with sound ethical principles for living, servant leadership, micro-enterprise, health promotion, HIV awareness and training, clean water, family enrichment and reconciliation. In a country plagued with poverty, HIV and tribal distrust these pastors and lay people are being trained to offer a global peace initiative by sharing their faith and God’s purpose for their lives in a manner that helps break down barriers of cultural tension and transforms lives. None of the current scholarship students has either the education or money to afford training. Our goal at the center is to develop a self-sustaining ministry that will provide a hand up for this developing country to improve the citizens of the communities they serve. We partner in this effort with Roswell United Methodist Church and the National Christian Foundation.

Mission Trips of staff and local health, micro-enterprise, reconciliation counseling, clean water and education volunteers are organized yearly. For more information go to our website.
