ABOUT US
Empowering communities. Uplifting children. Changing futures—together.
It started with a vision for more.
OUR HISTORY
Founded in 1997, ANIDA began as a small, faith-driven initiative to tackle poverty at its roots. What started with a few committed leaders has grown into a global development organization, working across countries to uplift children, women, and families. By expanding access to education, healthcare, and sustainable income, we help communities build lasting change from within.
That purpose drives us forward.
OUR MISSION
We are a Christian global development organization that partners with communities to uplift children, women, and families through greater access to education, health, and sustainable incomes, enabling them to flourish and transform their communities.
It’s a mission rooted in action.
OUR VISION
A community empowered to bring transformation to the nations.
And that future starts with how we work.
THEORY OF CHANGE
Transformation begins with empowerment. We collaborate with communities to design solutions that reflect their unique strengths—breaking barriers and creating space for growth. By investing in education, health, and livelihoods, we build pathways for children and families to thrive—today and for generations to come.
Here’s how we turn that into action.
PROGRAM AREAS
Our work is centered around three pillars: education, healthcare, and sustainable income. Each program is built on community collaboration and guided by real-time data. We track engagement, mindset shifts, and progress to ensure every initiative leads to meaningful, lasting impact. This approach keeps us rooted in the realities of each community and focused on results that matter.
This work is built on core values that guide everything we do.
