To inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children, and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives. The main objective of the Child Development Foundation for Social Empowerment is to facilitate better quality of life in all its realms through community mobilization, participatory governance based on sustainable natural resource management. Thus community participation, education, protection and promotion of environment and social capital are central to the activities of the organization.

Child Development Foundation for Social Empowerment offers a full range of programming and support needed to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic. We provide technical and managerial assistance and training to developing country governments, NGOs, and private-sector agencies. We design, manage, and evaluate comprehensive HIV prevention, care, and support programs, providing accountability in both program results and financial management. We help identify what is needed, develop programs with communities to meet local needs, and advocate for effective, compassionate, realistic, and appropriately resourced responses.
