A Little Bit About Us
Centre For Youth Driven Development Initiatives arose out of the desire to inspire young people to take charge of their own issues, extend opportunities, information resources, and social services, connecting rural communities to the outside world, and scaling down HIV/AIDS prevalence’s as well as improving the livelihoods amongst the youthful generations in previously under served communities of Uganda. CFYDDI is an independent and equal opportunities CBO dedicated to empowering young people, organizations, institutions and communities at the grass-root level.
CFYDDI was also established upon realizing that - young people have an enormous potential for creativity and innovation that’s why hope for sustainable development should be pinned on the young people.
By investing in youth across Africa, the continent cannot remain the same. The impact of millions of young people becoming engaged in wide-ranging projects will stimulate the capacities of all sectors, thus rekindling a social and economic transformation in Uganda, Africa and the world at large.
