As always, it all starts with a gesture
CECI launches its Spring 2026 campaign
Wherever CECI works with its partners, women and men are developing concrete initiatives in local entrepreneurship, sustainable agriculture, economic development, and leadership to support the resilience and prosperity of their communities.
Your generosity helps sustain these lasting changes. Thanks to your support, thousands of people are improving their income, strengthening their autonomy, and building a more sustainable future.
A long-term commitment
The real impact of CECI’s support
Through his visits to rural communities in Africa and his commitment within CECI, Philippe Dongier, Executive Director, shares a strong conviction: when communities have access to resources and support adapted to their realities, they develop sustainable solutions.
In cooperatives, he observed communities organizing collectively, improving their production methods, and gaining access to new markets. These initiatives helped increase family income and strengthen their economic autonomy.
This is what continues to guide CECI’s commitment.
Our approach is simple: together with communities and partners, we co-create solutions rooted in local realities that generate lasting change.
This leads to improved living conditions for women and young people, as well as better access to education and health care.
Thanks to your support, CECI can back innovative and inclusive local initiatives.
Today, your role is more important than ever.
Every contribution helps support local initiatives, strengthen the autonomy of women and young people, and foster lasting change.
Let us continue building solutions, together.
