Communities Without Boundaries International (CWBI) is an international non-governmental organization in Zambia[1] carrying out peace-building and sustainable development projects. It was founded in 1999[1] on the philosophy and principles of nonviolence espoused by historical figures of peaceful protest such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Mohandas K. Gandhi.[2][3][4] The organization's goal is educating at-risk children in Zambia.

Its Youth Without Borders[5] (YWB) initiative is a program for people aged 18 to 35 to experience other cultures, lifestyles, and challenges faced by the people.[6]

In 2013, CWBI joined an alliance of other organizations advocating issues ranging from labor, civil rights and human rights, education, media, and housing, in the first march on Washington since Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963 March on Washington.[7]
