Mission For Community Development (MCDP) is an Ethiopian non profit non religious and development-oriented NGO established in 1998 by volunteer Ethiopian professionals with the objective to improve the living conditions of children and women through an integrated community development approach. MCDP has taken a number of programs aimed at combating child labor through the creation of alternative opportunities for working children in targeted areas.
MCDP also works with the poor in its implementation areas to contribute towards bringing a long lasting change and improvement in the lives of disadvantaged members of the community with more emphasis on children and women.
Using its proven track record in community based economic empowerment, MCDP supports the development of self help groups and saving and credit cooperatives for targeted women.
