National Black Child Development Institute: Ensuring a Better Future for Black Children

The National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI) is an organization that dedicates itself to ensuring the wellbeing and success of black children. Their main focus is to look after the wellbeing, health, and education of black children and their families.

The NBCDI was launched more than 40 years ago by another group – the Black Women’s Community Development Foundation in Washington D.C. The leaders of this group were concerned with the conditions wherein they were to raise their children. During that time, poverty and racial discrimination were at its peak and this affected black children and their families the most. The NBCDI was formed in order to become an advocate for these children who deserved better healthcare and education than what they were receiving at that time.

Today, the NBCDI continues to be the voice of black children all across the nation through country-wide programs that aim to uplift the lives of black children and their families through education and proper healthcare.
