Social
Justice Projects
focus on empowering disadvantaged people, especially women
and girls, and indigenous peoples. Our projects support human
rights including social and cultural freedoms in addition
to freedom from hunger, landlessness, disease and exploitation.
We create or support innovative grassroots programs that function
in an environmentally sound way and that can be reproduced
by others to encourage continuing change.
