Do peacemaking, agricultural and economic development, youth and adult basic literacy, community health, gender equality, and environmental protection at the village level. For example, CPI built its first village. Land was purchased, subdivided and sold to eleven families. These families will get training needed to raise the crops needed to pay for the land and the house each family will got. The houses were built by the partner families. Payments from houses and land will be placed in a rotating fund and will be used to help more families acquire houses and land. CPI has introduced computer assisted learning to Honduras an is offering a computer based junior high school in the municipality of Santa Cruz de Yojoa.

Self-Help International (SHI) devotes its efforts to alleviating world hunger and poverty by providing opportunities to rural citizens that ultimately lead to self-reliance. Since its inception, Self-Help has served as a vessel; training, education, and opportunities are provided to rural citizens and whole communities in developing countries so that they can have better lives. MISSION STATEMENT: To alleviate hunger by helping people help themselves. SELF-HELP'S INITIATIVE Educate: We educate the people of the United States to understand the problems of life in developing countries particularly the awareness of the perpetual struggle by millions to produce and distribute food to battle persistent chronic hunger and poverty; we help tell their story Train: We train people in developing countries in the use of Quality Protein Maize (QPM). This increases crop yields and improves nutrition. We assist local farm families with planting, Improve: We improve infant and pre-school children's diets by administering an improved porridge feeding program. Made from QPM and pinches of barley malt, this combination has been proven to alleviate malnutrition, thwart sickness, and keep children in school so they can continue their education. Empower: We provide micro-credit loans for women to start small scale businesses. This availability of credit empowers women and increases their income - because they do not have access to traditional financing. Cooperate: We cooperate with other organizations and agencies in the introduction of appropriate farming practices or advancement in the battle against poverty and malnutrition.

In 2003, CCI opened the Rainbow Centre in Andhra Pradesh in India which, up until 2009, took in about one hundred child labourers. Caught up in the endless cycle of slavery, these children used to labour in conditions that threatened their safety and development. Together with their families, they now enjoy health care, and access to education and career training as well as to microcredit programmes. In 2010, CCI enrolled them in the best schools in their area, where they are getting very good grades; these children are closer now than ever to their dream of holding a decent job.Since 2009, CCI finances the administration costs of the Santikham Centre outside Bangkok, Thailand, which is managed by the Foundation for Child Development, a Thai non-governmental organisation. FCD strives to better the lives of child labourers and their families, who have illegally crossed into Thailand and are thus particularly vulnerable to manipulation and exploitation.
