We are Creative
Driving change since 1977.
Founded by four entrepreneurial women, Creative Associates International launched in 1977 with a focus on domestic education work. With the ability to pivot and adapt, Creative quickly expanded its geographic footprint and technical solutions to include conflict and violence prevention, global education in crisis and conflict, governance, humanitarian assistance, and security sector reform, including disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration. We have worked in some of the most challenging and austere environments across the globe, growing deep local networks, operational know-how, and field-tested solutions.
Founding CEO Charito Kruvant championed the Creative mission for over 40 years before transitioning to Board Chair in 2018. Today, Creative is led by CEO Leland Kruvant and a team of mission-driven professionals who are fulfilling the Creative vision and exemplifying our values in all our projects, present and future.
