Communities Without Boundaries International

Last updated

Communities Without Boundaries International (CWBI) is an international non-governmental organization in Zambia [1] carrying out peacebuilding and sustainable development projects. It was founded in 1999 [1] on the philosophy and principles of nonviolence as espoused by Martin Luther King Jr. and Mohandas K. Gandhi. [2] [3] [4]

Its Youth Without Boundaries (YWB) initiative is a program for people aged 18 to 35 for experiencing other cultures, lifestyles, and challenges faced by the people. [5]

In 2013, CWBI joined an alliance of other organizations advocating issues from labor, civil rights and human rights, education, media, and housing, to march on Washington since Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963 March on Washington. [6]
