Dear GlobalGiving Development Partners, all of us at the Centre for Youth Driven Development Initiatives (CFYDDI) we exceedingly feel privileged that you selected our projects to support out of so many wonderful causes in the world and we are so thrilled to have you on the team!! As the year 2018 comes to a close, we want to say a SPECIAL THANK YOU! For all the support and generous donations that have allowed us to change the lives of rural community vulnerable children in all our target communities. Every day, we see the fruits of your labor in the transitional project development stages here at CFYDDI and we remain proud of your contribution to the global effort to bring about community development for all and especially in resource constrained communities. With the end of the year in sight, it is natural to reflect on what you have helped us accomplish during the past 12 months & to gauge how we have been of service and chart the impact your efforts continue to bring in rural communities. 40 community women are able to save through the women with a purpose here at the centre and conduct entrepreneurship workshops and training to better their house hold incomes and start new income generating opportunities.
