What is JDI?
Vision and Values
JDI is a Public Benefit Organisation and is registered as the JDI Foundation Trust.
JDI was started almost 10 years ago. The idea was to create a simple structure that would enable young people to use their centres of influence to learn, understand and then make a difference in other people's lives in South Africa. We wanted to show our friends how easy it was to make a significant impact, to teach them about the problems, the issues and the solutions available.
Our vision: JDI is an attitude rather than an organisation - an attitude of being aware and of getting involved, that gets things done and affects people's lives directly. We want each person, worldwide, to be involved in at least one ongoing project.
Our mission: JDI is the catalyst that enables and inspires members (doers) to make a difference in people's lives in South Africa, by committing time, skills, money and energy.
Our values are all about an attitude to make a difference in South Africa. An attitude to:
- See - of being aware and understanding.
- Think - of applying our minds to what we've seen.
- Do - of getting involved and getting things done that positively affect people's lives directly.
