Our signature 'integrated approach' recognizes that issues of disarmament, human rights, environment and social justice cannot be tackled as separate issues, as they are now dealt with in artificially separated international fora.

World Faith’s primary goal is to deincentivize religious violence. We do this by:
•Countering narratives of Otherism by encouraging humanization through volunteering together, and
•Addressing the underlying economic issues that make violence possible.
By mobilizing religiously diverse youth to design and implement development projects, we counter each driver of violence. We break down the narrative of conflict by creating opportunities for young people to recognize the humanity of their fellow youth while volunteering together, and provide a non-violent path for young people to make positive change in their communities.

Yspaniola’s short-term goal is to create vertical access to quality education in Batey Libertad, from pre-K classes to university scholarships. Our long-term goal is to replicate these programs in other bateyes and marginalized communities across the Dominican Republic. We aim to create a network of communities with access to quality education and social and economic capital, so that individuals can advocate and act on their own behalf to petition their government for change. At the same time, we will continue to work, through service-learning trips for students from the United States and Mexico and volunteer programs for Dominicans, to strengthen the Dominican and international coalition that supports civil and human rights for these communities.
