Reveal: Tools to Support Community Transformation

"Reveal is a collection of tools for people working directly with local communities or churches."

Reveal, from the organisation Tearfund, is designed to help communities, especially religious communities, work with each other on talking about hidden issues in the categories of:

• Awareness-raising
• Children and youth
• Climate and environment
• Conflict and peacebuilding
• Governance and corruption
• Gender and sexual violence
• Disaster risk management
• Discrimination and inclusion
• Food and livelihoods
• Health and HIV
• Influencing decision makers
• Migration and trafficking
• Water, sanitation and hygiene

The online resource includes information sheets, activities, Bible studies and good practice guides. "Reveal tools can be used to support a church and community mobilisation (CCM) process or to support other community development work."

Sections are described as the following:
"Section A: Revealing hidden issues - Tools to help you raise and explore hidden issues with communities. Issues are hidden because nobody talks about them, or because people do not understand them."
Information for facilitators and activities are available, for example, a drama on child marriage that includes not only the script but sections on why to use the activity, what you need, what to do, and discussion questions.

"Section B: Revealing the Bible - Bible studies on the issues covered in Reveal." These are available in PDF format to download and use with a group for Bible studies and prayer.

"Section C: Revealing guidance and support for action - Guidance on different ways of working and good practice guides for projects and actions." These include ways of taking action using good practice guidelines.
