Rural Development Initiative

RDI works throughout the developing world to help rural communities launch entrepreneurial ventures that create sustainable economic development.

We work with coffee growing communities to develop additional income generating activities. Partnering with U.S. based coffee companies that want to support community development initiatives in the communities where they source coffee, we help develop entrepreneurial initiatives such as mushroom gardens, organic composting, sustainable agriculture, eco-tourism, and artisan cooperatives. We also assist with infrastructure projects that focus on community development, such as schools and health clinics.
