IRS990/Desc0PROGRAM 1. Support community-led projects for social change and peace in the Global South: In 2017, AP helped partner organizations to develop programs in Mali, Vietnam, Uganda, Nepal, and Jordan and Kenya. The following programs have benefited 19,976 individuals and family members: 1a) In Mali, Sini Sanuman opened two new centers for survivors in Gao and Bamako and supported 210 survivors. 1b) In Vietnam, the Association for the Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (AEPD) raised funds for three families affected by Agent Orange, and helped them develop business plans. 1c) In Northern Uganda, we helped the Gulu Disabled Persons Union (GDPU) to build one accessible toilet in the Ogul Primary school, which benefited 864 students and their families 1d) In Nepal, we helped Care Women Nepal (CWN) to screen 1,085 village women for uterine prolapse at a health camp in the district of Dhankuta. Several women were put on a shortlist to receive surgery for uterine prolapse. 1e) In Nepal, we helped our partner CONCERN to place 58 children in school and remove them from dangerous work in brick factories. 1f) In Nepal we helped 25 women who lost their husbands and sons during the Civil War to run an embroidery business. 1g) In Jordan, we worked with the Collateral Repair Project (CRP) to help Syrian and Iraqi refugee women to describe their journey through embroidered squares. The squares were assembled into two advocacy quilts in 2018. 1h) In Kenya, we worked with the Children Peace Initiative to build peace between warring pastoralists and raised $7,884 to purchase 50 heifers for them.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0PROGRAM 2. Send graduate students to volunteer with our partner organizations and inspire action for social change: The Advocacy Project began recruiting graduate students with professional experience to volunteer with partner organizations in 2003. Between 2003 and 2017, 294 Peace Fellows served in over 50 countries. Nine Fellows worked in six countries in 2017. Almost all Fellows work for ten weeks during the summer, although a smaller number may be deployed for up to a year with priority partners. Fellows are chosen for their knowledge of development, human rights, IT, and their ability to work in a challenging environment. They also bring friendship and sympathy to their hosts, many of who face hostility and even violence in their daily lives. Our fellowship program is notable for the inclusion of international students and the 2017 cohort included students from Argentina, Canada and Kenya. This is the only international service program that offers a substantive deployment abroad with a community-based human rights group. Fellows also acquire new skills (e.g. through primary research, posting blogs, making videos), and enhance their education. As a result, fellowships are much in demand.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0PROGRAM 3: Since 2007, AP has helped marginalized communities to tell their story through embroidered panels that are then assembled into quilts by expert quilters in the US. AP now curates over 50 quilts on behalf of partners. These are loaned out to galleries and universities for exhibition, and provide a further outlet for explaining the challenges of human rights and conflict, from the perspective of those directly affected. In 2017 the quilts were shown at the University of Maryland, Georgetown University, American University, University of Delaware, University of Loyola, and California State University. This program is another illustration of AP's ability to create innovative partnerships and find new ways to explain a complex problem. In 2017, Peace Fellows helped over 50 artists to tell their story through embroidery in Jordan and Nepal. In Jordan, Reina Sultan helped 25 refugee women to describe their journey to safety through 40 squares. The squares were assembled into two quilts - one for sale and one for exhibition. In Nepal, twenty-five wives of the disappeared also told their story through embroidery, with help from Peace Fellows Kirstin Yanisch and Vicky Mogeni. The quilt program also aims to generate an income for the artists. Several squares from Nepal were assembled into bags for sale in the USA. In 2018 we hope the quilt program will evolve into an sustainable income-generation project for the beneficiaries.
