PCDI is a common initiative group founded in 2004 in the North West Province of Cameroon.
The initiative observed the difficulties faced in rural communities in Cameroon. The poor and down trodden are found in the rural areas and it is also at this level that most agricultural production takes place with little marketing opportunities for the population. The youths and women cannot support themselves economically and socially and as a result there is a massive rural exodus.
The program discovered that orphans and vulnerable children are actually at risk because idleness can lead them to unwanted pregnancies, HIV/AIDS, STDs and other social ills.
The program shall act as a development agent for the community.
