PeaceGeeks

PeaceGeeks is a Canadian non-profit organization that collaborates with grassroots human rights organizations to advance peace and human rights. Since 2011, we have worked with over 24 grassroots partners operating in developing and conflict-affected areas of the Global South to improve their proficiency with Information Communications Technology and raise global awareness of their work. Through these partnerships, we have assisted them in empowering communities in Kenya, South Sudan, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Burundi, Egypt, the Philippines, Nepal, Indonesia, and Palestine to address issues that include gender-based violence, agrarian conflict, and environmental sustainability. More recently, we have partnered with the Digital Humanitarians Network and the United Nations High Commission for Refugees to assist Syrian refugees living in Jordan to access humanitarian aid through the development of Services Advisor.
