Our Mission: Our mission is to alleviate poverty by engendering self-reliance through workforce development. We believe that empowerment and self-reliance are the keys to success. Every day, hundreds of OICI staff work to build up the communities in which they live. Together with support from local governments, development organizations, private foundations, multilateral agencies and corporations, we bring life-changing programs to individuals who need them most. Our long-term commitment to these communities pays off in ways that are both measurable and immeasurable.
