Cambridge Development Initiative is changing the way student volunteering is done.

We take an holistic approach to tackling the key development issues in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, by piloting innovative, community-driven projects.

“Piloting the world’s first simplified sewerage and biogas system - a community-centered sanitation and clean energy solution”

“Empowering secondary school students to design and implement creative solutions to local problems and become innovative, informed and driven agents for change in their communities”

“Improving access to healthcare products and advice by encouraging entrepreneurial models of health delivery to reach a community-driven solution”

“An eight week entrepreneurship course at the University of Dar es Salaam, designed to empower and equip Tanzanian students to start their own businesses”

CDI is about empowering local change-makers to make a sustainable difference. We believe that students can be the catalyst.
