Dorothy Bella Tambara: Global Impact Leader, Award-Winning Change Maker, and Founder of CSM Restorative Sanctuary and Global Leadership Academy

As the 2024 'Women Changing the World People's Choice Award Winner for Global Impact', I am deeply honoured to be recognised for my work in transforming the lives of singles, blended families, and their children. This prestigious award is not just a reflexion of my personal achievements but a testament to the collective impact of the programs we’ve developed through **CSM Restorative Sanctuary and Global Leadership Academy**. It is a reminder that even in the midst of life's most challenging moments, there is hope, healing, and the possibility of a brighter future.

CSM Restorative Sanctuary and Global Leadership Academy: Empowering, Healing, and Transforming Lives
The **CSM Restorative Sanctuary** serves as a haven for those navigating the complex paths of singleness, divorce, remarriage, and blended family life. In conjunction with the **Global Leadership Academy**, we provide not only refuge but also practical, certified training programs designed to equip leaders, coaches, and caregivers with the skills and knowledge needed to support this generation of individuals seeking restoration. Our mission is to create **lifelong, restorative, and transformative learning experiences** that empower people to heal, thrive, and build value-added lives and families.

At the heart of the **Sanctuary** are six unique, life-changing programs that cater to the diverse needs of individuals, couples, and families:

1. Single Sisters Global Network:** A community and safe landing space for women navigating singlehood, empowering them to embrace their strength, purpose, and God-given potential.
2. Incorruptible Mordecais:** A program designed specifically for men, equipping them to lead with integrity and resilience while fostering meaningful connections within their families and communities.
3. F.L.A.M.E. (Finding Love After Moments of Emptiness):** A transformative program for singles aged 30-50, providing support and guidance for those seeking love and connection after life’s most challenging experiences.
4. Twilight Blooms:** This program offers a sanctuary for singles over 50, helping them find joy, companionship, and purpose in the later stages of life while addressing the unique emotional and spiritual challenges they face.
5. Kingdom Bound Blended Bonds (KBCubed):** Dedicated to blended families, this program helps couples and families create strong, value-added homes that prioritize love, unity, and mutual respect.
6. KINTSUGI BIBS (Broken is Beautiful):** This powerful program is designed for children of all ages who were born into single-parent homes or unique family circumstances. It emphasizes the beauty of restoration, helping children understand their family dynamics while managing social stigmas, emotional challenges, and life transitions.

CSM Global Leadership Academy: Certified Courses for Lasting Change
At the **CSM Global Leadership Academy**, we offer **IPHM-accredited** certified courses designed to equip leaders, coaches, and caregivers with the skills to foster healing, joy, and strong relationships within their communities. Our training is especially crucial as we strive to reduce the staggering divorce rates in remarriages, which currently stand at 63% for second marriages and 75% for third and subsequent marriages. By training church leaders, relationship coaches, and family advocates, we aim to provide a global support network that spreads these life-changing skills to communities worldwide.

Our comprehensive certified programs include:

• Certified Christian Singles Support Specialist
• Certified Advocate for Christian Singles Ministry
• Certified Leader in Christian Singles Engagement
• Certified Resilience Coach for Children of Single Parents
• Certified Specialist in Remarriage and Family Resilience
• Certified Strategist for Blended Family Dynamics

These programs equip leaders to effectively manage the diverse needs of singles, blended families, and children, ensuring a holistic approach to relationship and family restoration. Through a combination of practical assignments, case studies, live presentations, and video submissions, our students gain real-world skills that enable them to be true change agents in their communities.

Impact Beyond Borders
The work we do at **CSM Restorative Sanctuary and Global Leadership Academy** is about much more than offering courses and programs. It’s about transforming lives and shaping futures. We’re building a global network of trained professionals who understand the unique challenges of singlehood, divorce, remarriage, and blended family dynamics. Together, we are fostering a generation of restored individuals and families who are equipped to thrive in their personal lives and contribute positively to their communities.

This journey is both deeply personal and profoundly collective, and I am honoured to lead it, supported by a growing community of passionate individuals who are dedicated to healing, growth, and lifelong transformation.

These course titles span personal healing, family dynamics, ministry leadership, emotional well-being, and practical life skills, aligning with the restorative and transformative mission of the **CSM Restorative Sanctuary and Global Leadership Academy **.

Overview - 

CSM - The Sanctuary for Renewed Beginnings operates as both a sanctuary and as a recently introduced academy dedicated to equipping leaders, coaches, and caregivers with the essential skills and knowledge to effectively support the diverse needs of the restored generation. This initiative focuses on singles, those navigating remarriage, and their children, fostering an inclusive environment that promotes healing, growth, and resilience. With the accreditation from the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM) as a training provider, CSM enhances its credibility and commitment to quality education, ensuring that participants receive effective training grounded in best practices. 

Through comprehensive training programs, the CSM Academy offers a range of courses designed to empower participants with practical strategies and insights into managing the unique dynamics present in blended families and single-parent households. By addressing key areas such as emotional wellness, relationship management, and effective parenting, CSM ensures that leaders are well-prepared to guide individuals and families toward fulfilling, harmonious lives. 

This initiative is vital, considering the staggering statistics indicating that 63% of second marriages and 75% of third marriages end in divorce. By equipping church leaders and coaches with the right tools, CSM aims to reduce these rates, fostering healing and joy within relationships. Moreover, as these leaders spread their knowledge and support globally, they create a ripple effect that promotes healthier partnerships and stronger family dynamics. In this way, CSM serves not only as a refuge for those in transition but also as a nurturing educational platform that champions the importance of community, support, and transformation within the restored generation.
