ILDI's Vision

ILDI's vision is to train and grow leaders in the developing nations of the world through community projects in business, medicine and education.

Nearly one-fifth of the world's population lives
under the crushing weight of poverty.

Families caught in the undertow of poverty cannot afford proper nutrition, school fees, business investments or critical medical care.  It is a debilitating cycle of extreme poverty that is continuous and unforgiving.  Families caught in its vortex have little chance of escape or a better future for their children.

Together we are able to raise the standard of living, health and educational skills of impoverished communities.

ILDI believes that the future success of a community and a nation begins with the dreams of its leaders.  Therefore, ILDI finds leaders in developing nations and helps them implement high-quality community based projects.

A Hand-Up, not a Hand-Out.

Through partnering with and training these nations' rising leaders, ILDI offers those caught under the powerful pull of the poverty cycle an opportunity for future hope for themselves, their families and their nation.

Intervening at three critical points

The need in the developing world is great.  But often, the methods and mechanisms to deal with these serious issues have created a deepening chasm between the nations assisting and the nations receiving aid and support.  ILDI works to ensure that this chasm is narrowed and finally bridged.  By utilizing an integrated approach, focusing on three areas of need - medicine, business and education - ILDI partners with local non-profit groups that understand the economic, educational and health climates of their nations.
