Peacebuilding Solutions Ltd.

Peacebuilding Solutions (PS) was founded by a group of like-minded individuals who realized there might be a better way to ensure that people in need of humanitarian aid are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. In the course of our research, we were exposed to a great deal of research showing the lack of accountability, transparency, and effectiveness of both non-profit organizations and intergovernmental organizations. As global citizens, we felt it was our duty and obligation to help those who, through no fault of their own, are unable to help themselves. We refuse to live in a society that does not take care of those most in need; and if that society is failing those people, it is up to us to step up and affect change. At PS, we feel that those who do not attempt to make themselves a part of the community they wish to serve will never fully understand the needs of the community, nor gain the trust of those in need. Sharing the water and breaking bread with a community creates bonds of trust and respect that can never be bought with money. Sharing in the triumphs and sacrifices of a community is the most effective method of engaging in long-lasting, positive interventions. As we engage in various aid projects around the world, this is exactly what we plan to do. Most importantly, we understand that we don't have all the answers. The vital question we ask is: “How can we help you?” and we're much better able to get an answer if we live near or even among those we serve.
