Why is the PWRDF involved with issues of social and global justice?
PWRDF was originally created in response to disaster. Early in our history, Development work was added to our mandate based on the realization that root causes of poverty need to be addressed if real change is sought. A development approach seeks to reinforce the capacity of people to respond to their own situations. The search to address causes takes us beyond the local level to address the economic and political area at the policy level.
