Community Rebirth Initiative (CRI) is a non-profit organization headquartered in Nigeria. Since 2007, CRI has been improving the quality of life of low-income, disadvantaged individuals through the provision of skills training, business development, health and food security programs in the African Communities. CRI programs are comprehensive in nature, and aim to give individuals the knowledge and tools they need to build sustainable futures for themselves, their families and their communities.
And we are The African Communities Friends. CRI has a team of over skilled management, technical and field staff with expertise in Agriculture, Food Security, Water and Sanitation, Vocational Training & Job Creation, Micro enterprise Development, Micro finance, Health and Nutrition and HIV/AIDS. To ensure maximum impact and results, CRI allocates the majority of its resources to rural communities programs, thus the majority of our staff live and work in communities where they are directly implementing CRI and its Partner's programs.
The main tenets of our organizational philosophy are: * Self-help: We believe in empowering individuals, institutions and communities through the transfer of knowledge and skills. * Capacity building: CRI programs equip their beneficiaries with the life, job and business skills that enable them to become productive members of their communities. * Social enterprise: All of CRI programs are designed with the goal of sustainability and are market driven to ensure that they both meet community needs and are based on fiscal responsibility.
* Partnership: CRI believes that development is a communal effort and that only through effective cooperation will the needs of the communities be met. In this spirit, CRI has a proud history of welcoming international and national partners in all its work.
