Project Description
Social Development International (SDI) is a social development and relief organization which is not for profit, non-governmental and non-discriminating charity organization with the vision of working for the practical realization of sustainable social development initiatives by protecting the vulnerable and risky population and their communities.
SDI was formed in December 2005 with the aim of promoting social and economic transformation for the poor and underserved population. To become agents of positive change irrespective of their nationality, class, colour, race or social status; through personal transformation practices, social change training, education, advocacy, health, and charity.
It is staffed by dedicated volunteers and sustained financially by individuals, organizations and foundations who support its mission, Social and Economic Justice for All.
Our mission is to facilitate the social and economic empowerment of the poor and vulnerable inhabitants in communities by enabling their participation in the economic process of building a more developed, integrated, egalitarian, peaceful, and sustainable nation state.
