Paidia International Development's Mission Statement: Paidia's mission is to engage individuals, especially youth, in ethical leadership development empowering them to transform themselves and their communities. Paidia uses recreation to teach children in some of the most critical yet overlooked areas of the world, and then gives these children an opportunity to put their education into action for the betterment of their community. Paidia does this through a methodology we have developed called E.R.M. or education, recreation, mobilization.
