Peace might sound like a peculiar thing for a humanitarian and development organization to prioritize, particularly for a faith-based one. What does it mean to make this abstract (albeit nice sounding) virtue a reality in practice? Is it possible that peace is more than a feel-good sentiment on a Christmas card or something to wish for when blowing out your birthday candles?

The world is changing and those living in the poorest countries are being hit the hardest
The past few years we have been trying to adapt our programming to the ever-changing weather patterns around the world, but we just can’t keep up. There has been a drought in Borena, Ethiopia for the past 3 years, people are digging holes the same height as themselves in fill up a coffee cup of water to survive. These are not humane living conditions.
