ADVOCACY
We empower marginalized groups of women and children through our educational programs. Our projects aim to raise awareness and cooperate with local organizations in order to lift these groups from poverty.
GLOBAL NETWORKING
We rely on active participation from community members of each each country we work in for the majority of projects. We expect leaders to take over our staff’s work and continue to strengthen it. We build strong partnerships with volunteers, community leaders, local governments, and other organizations.
EMERGENCY RELIEF
We dispatch emergency relief teams immediately in the event of natural disasters or civil conflicts. We were on the ground during the civil war in Rwanda; the earthquakes in Pakistan, India, and Turkey; the Afghanistan war; the tsunami in South Asia; and the earthquake in Haiti.
