Staying with the Mission

Our
Mission

Grounded in nonviolence peace-building, CPI works with individuals, and local communities experiencing violence and poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa to foster increased access to appropriate education, personal peace-leadership, food security, economic opportunity towards self-sufficiency.

Core Value 1: Justice and Peace

At CPI, we are commitment to fairness, reconciliation, and peaceful resolution of conflict in line with both ethical - spiritual teachings and human rights. Hence, we support for peace education, conflict mediation, and justice-based policies within partner communities.

Core Value 2: Missional Servant Leadership

Ours is to affirm leadership expressed through purposeful service, modeled on the example of Christ and other servant-leaders. Our programs are community-led, leadership is participatory, and development projects empower rather than impose.

Core Value 3: Dignity and Respect for All

Every one is made in the image of God and deserves respect, regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, or socio-economic background. We promote inclusive education, community engagement, and peacemaking that affirms each person's worth.

Core Value 4: Missional Servant Leadership

Core Value 5: Holistic Empowerment

At CPI, we empower individuals and communities socially, economically and spiritually for long-term sustainability. Our understanding is that education access is also about life skills, vocational training, and spiritual formation for the right leadership.

Core Value 6: Innovation Rooted in Context

Creativity and innovation are essential, but must be culturally appropriate and rooted in local knowledge and wisdom. Consequently, we advance development initiatives that are co-designed with local leaders and reflect African contexts.

Core Value 7: Partnership and Collaboration

We place great value in relationships and mutual accountability among local faith-based, NGOs, governments, and community stakeholders. We operate in collaboration, fostering strong North-South and South-South partnerships.

Core Value 8: Stewardship and Accountability

We institutionalize responsible management of resources, finances, and relationships as a form of truth and trust. We embody transparent reporting, ethical fundraising, and effective monitoring of impact in both Canadian and African contexts.

Core Value 9: Hope and Transformation

We believe in the potential for positive change, even in the most difficult circumstances, inspired by spiritual faith. Therefore, we promote long-term change over charity, focusing on transformation of systems, individuals, and lives.

Core Value 10: Faith and Spiritual Integrity

Our work is rooted in a strong belief in God. We work for a greater purpose beyond our personal desires. Our decisions and actions reflect honesty, prayerful discernment, humility, and alignment with core values of Truth, Justice, love, and contentment.

Core Value 11: Learning and Adaptability

We take a posture of humility and continuous improvement informed by local feedback, monitoring, and faith reflection. Thus, we undertake regular evaluation and adaptation of strategies to remain effective, relevant, and spiritually grounded.
