Closure of Progressio

Celebrating a life, leaving a legacy: our contribution to social justice and sustainable development

  • Progressio, previously known as CIIR, ceased trading on 30 June 2017. It was an international development charity supporting poor and marginalised people, especially women, to empower themselves.
  • World
    We listen to what poor and marginalised people say needs to change in their communities.
  • People in the World
    We work alongside local organisations to make change happen.
  • World activities
    We share skills and knowledge with local people to ensure that our impact is felt long after we leave.
  • World changes
    To us, success is local people empowering themselves to overcome the obstacles that keep them marginalised or in poverty.
