Background

Charity and Empowerment Foundation (CEF) is a non-profit organization established in 2017 by Dr. Gai Chol Paul, during his pursuit of a doctorate degree at Walden University. Inspired by the concept of positive social change instilled in him by Walden University, Dr. Paul took the initiative to create CEF with the primary objective of empowering communities and improving their overall living conditions. With a focus on combating poverty, eliminating illiteracy, and addressing gender discrimination, CEF is working tirelessly to create a more equitable and just society. 

CEF initiatives span across various areas, including health enhancement, education advancement, and livelihood improvement. These efforts are primarily targeted towards remote and underserved regions, where accessing adequate resources and support is a significant challenge. Through its comprehensive approach, CEF aims to create a world where all individuals are equal, free, and empowered. 

By working closely with rural communities, CEF strives to make a lasting impact and contribute to a healthier and more prosperous world for all. Since 2017, CEF has been mobilizing resources from International Organizations, UN agencies, International Corporations, and the board membership contribution.
