Together with the thousands of people at the development projects, we have formed a truly unique International Brigade acting upon what is the biggest contradiction in the world of today - the difference between the rich and the poor. Like the man who moved the mountain we must continue to get together in our thousands to stand shoulder to shoulder with The Poor.
We strongly believe that the only way we are going to see some real change in the world is when a lot of people get together and say "enough is enough" and create the future we want for ourselves and for the next generation. A wise philosopher once said: "To investigate a problem is to solve it". The same goes for the challenges facing us in the decades to come. It is only when we face up to them, investigate, understand and learn how to deal with them that we can take the right action. We do this at CICD. All our programmes are solidly founded in today's reality and looking towards the future. It is essential that we live and work collectively. The tasks we face are too big to solve alone.

Humana People to People programmes train small-scale farmers in sustainable agriculture practices such as conservation farming. As an integrated part of the training, the farmers get organised around exploring and sharing water resources, securing inputs and marketing of their produce.
As well as this, to help combat the aids epidemic, The Total Control Epidemic (TCE) programme was set up, to act as a dialogue on HIV/Aids between a TCE field officer and all individuals in the Field of 2000 people. Each single person in the area is mobilised to take control of HIV in his / her own life. The Field Officer assists individuals to draft a personal HIV risk reduction plan and supports the people in changing sexual behaviour and lifestyle.
In 2015 alone TCE was reaching out to around 5 million people in 51 different areas.

Broadly based, Child Aid builds the capacity in the families and their communities in an all-inclusive programme, recognising that in order to nurture children successfully, the entire community must be strengthened. Families are brought together to address health and sanitation, income generation, education, district development, environmental awareness, and participation of children.
Our Child Aid has extensive outreach programmes with the whole community with information and lessons on health, nutrition, hygiene, environment and other issues, and with practical actions to improve conditions where needed. Here the primary schools in the operation areas are important co-operation partners - children, teachers and parents alike.

The concept of Child Aid leaves space for locally determined additions to the main areas, and the concept operates with using various structures in the organisation of the children and their families, for example by forming Village Action Groups of 15-20 families with a co-ordinator, who is a volunteer from the local community. The Village Action Group works together in the day-to-day implementation of their own activities, and mobilises more volunteers to participate.
Most of the Child Aid programmes operate among the rural population, but the concept has also shown to be efficient in the slums of big cities, for example in the townships of Soweto, South Africa
