Community Development Links Initiative

Our Impact

Creating opportunities, strengthening communities and supporting people through practical, community-based action.

Our approach

Change begins with opportunity

Community Development Links Initiative (CDLI) works to create learning opportunities and practical support for vulnerable people and communities.

Our work brings together education, skills development, health support, advocacy and community-based action.

Rather than focusing only on immediate needs, CDLI also works to create opportunities that can help people learn, develop skills and participate more fully in society.
