What is Jiongeze?

Jiongeze is a youth initiative created through CDI to help learners move from knowledge to opportunity.

The word Jiongeze means:

  • Grow yourself
  • Improve yourself
  • Build yourself
  • Keep moving forward

Jiongeze is built on the belief that everyone can learn and create positive change.

Learning does not begin when everything is perfect.

Learning begins when we take the first step.
