Community Partners International

Community Partners International (CPI) empowers vulnerable communities in Asia to meet their essential health, humanitarian and sustainable development needs. Founded by U.S. doctors and volunteers in 1998, the organization has grown to serve more than three million people each year. We focus on communities affected by conflict, violence, and displacement, in remote and hard-to-reach contexts, and marginalized through poverty and exclusion. Partnership with local communities lies at the heart of our work. We work to empower the potential and deep commitment within communities to develop, own and lead the solutions to their challenges - solutions driven by local needs and priorities, designed for the context, and sustainable. Our Mission: Build thriving communities in Asia through equitable access to quality services for health and social welfare. We achieve our mission through partnerships driven by local organizations using contextually appropriate, evidence-based approaches. Our Vision: Communities in Asia have the resources, capacity and information necessary to meet their own health, learning and development needs.
