Children’s Mission For Development Initiative
Standing with the Children of South Sudan
Empowering generations. Transforming communities.
We believe every child deserves a safe, nurturing environment to grow, learn, and thrive. Born from a deep commitment to under-served communities, CMDI works hand-in-hand with families to break cycles of poverty and build sustainable resilience.

Our Story
Led by the community, driven by compassion.
In regions heavily affected by crisis and underdevelopment, children often face the highest risks of exclusion. CMDI was founded to bridge this gap. We are more than an organization; we are a community-driven response to ensure that vulnerability does not dictate a child's future.
Operating primarily in Fangak County, Jonglei State, we bring protection, inclusive education, and vital health services directly to the frontlines. As we look to the future, our goal is to expand this lifeline to other under-served areas across the Upper Nile Region.
Our Core Values
These principles form the bedrock of every decision we make and every program we deliver in the field.
Our Guiding Compass
The vision and mission that define our humanitarian approach and keep us focused on what truly matters: the children.
Our Vision
“A resilient South Sudan where every child, woman, youth, and vulnerable person enjoys protection, equal opportunities, dignity, and sustainable development.”
Our Mission
To save lives, protect vulnerable children and communities, and improve their well-being through quality humanitarian assistance and sustainable development programs.
Collective action for lasting change.
Complex humanitarian challenges cannot be solved in isolation. CMDI actively aligns with national frameworks, UN clusters, and international humanitarian standards to ensure our interventions are timely, effective, and free from duplication.
By forging strong alliances with local government agencies, international donors, and peer NGOs, we amplify our reach. Together, we are building systems that outlast our immediate interventions, focusing on long-term resilience and community self-reliance.
