WORK ENVIRONMENT
COMPANY: Foundation for Community Development and Empowerment
COMPANY DESCRIPTION: Foundation for Community Development and Empowerment leverages the knowledge, funds and direct personal support of global donors to empower communities to maximize economic, social and
environmental opportunities, thereby reducing poverty and injustice.
Foundation for Community Development and Empowerment‘s philosophy is deeply rooted in and committed to
positive sustainable development practices that uplift communities and make comprehensive and lasting change.
Sustainable development theory looks holistically at the depth and scope of social, economic and environmental
concerns. It can be viewed as a framework by which communities begin to address expressed needs, utilize their own
resources efficiently, build on the strengths of the people, create more stable infrastructures, enhance quality of life,
and create new opportunities to strengthen economies. We have ensured that our programs offered, partnerships
formed, and successes measured will impact the communities in which we work in a just and sustainable way.
All our staff and Board are returned Peace Corps Volunteers who continued to work and support the efforts of international development projects. We are passionate about making a difference, traveling the world, and experiencing
different cultures. And we’re not afraid to get our hands dirty! Come join us!
