We do this by living and working in polarizing conflict zones, providing emergency relief to families persecuted by terrorism and violence, jobs for displaced families and community building.
About the Team – For the tens of thousands victimized by conflict, they don’t need a hand-out, they need a hand-up.

We do this through building relationships and once their businesses have started we follow up with them to make sure things are running smoothly.
