The Problem
Project CREED develops and deliver scommunity-directed public health education materials that empower communities in underdeveloped regions. CREED stands for Children's Roots of Enduring Education Development and is the founding principle by which the organization operates. The goal is to build a sustainable model of public health education for children everywhere.
Plan of Action
Project CREED is a public health enterprise that provides regionally-relevant children’s health education books to communities in developing countries. While the company publishes a product, they more importantly embody a public movement for improved access to health resources. With its use of locally inspired children’s books on sanitation, hygiene and nutrition, Project CREED maintains respect for each community’s culture, traditions and education.
Unlike other global health organizations, Project CREED engages cooperatively with communities and partners to build a network for success, while focusing its efforts narrowly on the creation of creative, culturally-respectful children's books. The unique approach of community collaboration builds lasting relationships that allow for further engagement, while cultural relevancy increases book use. In contrast to traditional aid methods, Project CREED equips communities with the tools they need to improve their own lives, which results in a cycle of opportunity rather than dependency.
