Peacework

Peacework's purpose is to help alleviate conditions of poverty and promote peace and prosperity through economic development partnerships and service around the world. Each project is organized on a case-by-case basis with community leaders according to locally determined development needs and objectives. Peacework believes that academic and technical resources, volunteer service, and local community leadership are the components of sustainable, effective development and lasting social change. This strategy is most effective when education, business, medicine, social work, agriculture, engineering, literacy, and other disciplines are applied in one shared course of action, one community at a time around the world.
