A couple of years back  it was decided that the name be changed from MMP to Companion With The Poor, Inc. due to overseas immigration and visa limitations for missionaries. The Preschool department retained the corporations MMP. There are now two corporations  MMP and CWTP. CWTP is focused on church planting in the slums and MMP on preschools.
