Health Education & Preventive Care

Prevention is the best cure. We organize workshops and awareness campaigns on maternal health, disease prevention, hygiene, and nutrition—empowering people to take charge of their well-being.

Food & Culinary

CADI’s immersive cooking therapy experience celebrates the rich culinary traditions of Africa but also integrates artistic expression and guided therapeutic practices to enhance emotional and mental wellness. Cooking has long been recognized as a healing and communal activity, fostering creativity, mindfulness, and cultural connection.

As part of our mission to promote education, health, and cultural understanding, this program features:

MiniPitch: Ideas That Heal

This is where community innovation meets real-world impact. It’s a dynamic platform where young leaders, creatives, health advocates, and grassroots changemakers pitch simple but powerful ideas that can improve health and well-being in their own neighborhoods.

Think of it as a Shark Tank for community healing – only more inclusive, more creative, and more rooted in lived experience.

Each MiniPitch builds leadership, creates visibility for community issues, and connects innovators with mentors, resources, and support to bring their vision to life.

Soccer for Wellness & Youth Empowerment

Soccer isn’t just something we play – it’s a heartbeat in our communities. It’s how many of our young people first learn what it means to work as a team, push through limits, and believe in something bigger than themselves.

We’ve seen firsthand how a simple game can transform lives. Whether it’s on a dusty pitch or a schoolyard field, soccer becomes a space where youth feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow.

Why Soccer?

Soccer is one of the most loved sports across Africa and the Diaspora – and for good reason. It’s active, inclusive, and full of life. Beyond the physical benefits, it builds confidence, focus, resilience, and a strong sense of identity.

And most importantly, it gives young people a chance to dream.
