Featured Programs From Past Years:

RAVI FOUNDATION RESPONSE PROGRAM
On April 28th the government of Pakistan began military operations against the Taliban in the Malakand Division. According to the UN over three million people have been already been displaced.The displaced people have been moved to makeshifts and school buildings. Education has already been stopped in schools in the neighboring cities of the troubled areas. It has become very difficult for the government, UN, World Food Program and others to look after the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). The government has appealed civil society organizations to come forward and help.

DURBAN UNIVERSITY PEACE CHAIR
Ela Gandhi and the Gandhi Development Trust are working to establish a Peace Chair and programs at the International Centre On Nonviolence(ICON) at the Durban University of Technology. The Chair will assist with the development of accredited course work in many areas.

NOAH'S WISH ANIMAL RESCUE
Noah's Wish came into existence in 2002, not to duplicate existing efforts to help animals during disasters, but to expand on what was already in place. Too often, efforts to help animals during life threatening situations have been gravely inadequate. We recognize that animals need and deserve an organized, consistent and professionally managed national disaster relief program. They will, otherwise, continue to pay for human indifference with their lives. How animals are managed during disasters is to implement well thought out, field tested policies and procedures that are practiced in all disasters. Relief efforts for people are managed this way and we feel they should be for animals too.
