Communities Without Boundaries International (CWBI) is a non-governmental organization based in Zambia[1] that works on peace-building and sustainable development projects. It was founded in 1999[1] and draws inspiration from the nonviolence principles promoted by 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 that allows them to travel and experience different cultures, lifestyles, opportunities, and challenges faced by people around the world.[6]

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