Our Story

The Mhiship community, situated in Pankshin LGA, is home to resilient, resourceful people who have long endured challenges of poor infrastructure, limited opportunities, and high youth unemployment. In response to these realities, MCCDA was born fueled by the collective resolve to rise above limitations and build a future defined by dignity, self-reliance, and purpose.
Today, MCCDA is more than a development association it is a movement of transformation, a custodian of culture, and a beacon of hope. We invite government agencies, development partners, philanthropists, and proud sons and daughters of Mhiship both at home and abroad to join hands with us. Together, we are not just building projects. We are building people. We are building pride. We are building the future
