Why ISCD exists

ISCD was started in response to growing needs in our communities:

A rising number of out-of-school children
Daunting poverty with no means of livelihood, mostly among women in developing nations
A lack of standard development initiatives to ease people's suffering
Families and children at risk from man-made disasters
Economic downturns that lower living standards
Natural catastrophes

We help lead community-driven development and enable vulnerable community groups to join integrated activities that give them a quality livelihood and make them self-sustaining.

What we offer

Today ISCD delivers its activities through the power and spirit of volunteerism, building sustainable communities, intercultural exchange and thriving villages in Nigeria, Africa and beyond.
