Community Development Support Service (CDSS) is a non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting sustainable agriculture, food security, and peacebuilding. Established in 1995, CDSS initially operated under the name Christian Development Services (CDS) and was later registered by the government of Kenya in 2000. Over the years, the organization has worked tirelessly to improve the livelihoods of communities in Eastern Equatoria State, particularly in Budi County and Torit. Through its commitment to socio-economic transformation, CDSS focuses on building community resilience and empowering vulnerable populations in the region.
CDSS has been involved in several initiatives, including agricultural training, vocational skills development, and the distribution of essential farming tools and seeds. With the support of various local and international partners, CDSS has impacted the lives of thousands of people, providing them with the knowledge and resources needed to enhance food security and mitigate the effects of conflict. The organization’s core values are rooted in promoting gender equality, community-driven development, and environmental stewardship. Today, CDSS continues to work towards a future where marginalized communities can thrive in peace and self-sufficiency.
