Today, despite billions of donation in foreign assistance, the majority of Africans still lack access to available basic, life-sustaining necessities including food, education and health care. Charity and Development Initiative (CDI) encourages economic growth by empowering people with the tools they need to support their families and uplift their communities. As large numbers of families increase their incomes, they have the ability to improve their living condition and quality of life as well as the lives of their families. They can have access to available health care, education, and a higher level of food security.

Our approach to health and wellness emphasizes prevention. By identifying small measures that individuals and communities can take to improve their health, and then scaling those measures to impact a greater number of people, we aim to prevent years of chronic disease and provide families and communities with knowledge of how to live healthier and wealthy life.

We believe that a community can only reach its full potential by involving everyone in its social and economic life. Our programs empower women and girls by expanding access to education, increasing economic opportunity, and providing critical health care to young mothers and their newborns.

Our goal is to lift millions of women out of poverty and with them, their families and entire communities.
