Since its establishment in 2007, CESRUD has been on a transformative journey, advocating for sustainable development and uplifting the lives of those living in African rural areas.

CESRUD’s primary aim is to be a voice for the underprivileged and marginalized individuals residing in African rural communities where missionary activities are taking place.

Through research studies and the publication of relevant literature, CESRUD contributes to the broader knowledge base on poverty alleviation and rural empowerment. By disseminating research findings, CESRUD aims to inspire others, encourage evidence-based practices, and promote collaboration among organizations working towards similar goals.
