Depuis sa création, la mission du CECI a été de combattre la pauvreté, l’exclusion et les inégalités. A cette fin, le CECI vise à améliorer le bien-être économique et social des personnes les plus pauvres et les plus marginalisées en Afrique, en Asie et dans les Amériques, grâce à l’appui de volontaires.
