Charity and Security Network Is Promoting Nonprofits And Protecting Their Ability To Carry Out Effective Programs
#493 Great.com Talks With... Charity and Security Network
The main reason why humanitarian nonprofits cannot carry out effective humanitarian aid programs is due to counterterrorism policies. US law deems any transaction with terrorist groups a crime. But to reach civilians in these parts of the world, aid has to go through these groups. In today's episode, we talked with Paul Carrol, Director at Charity and Security Network.
Charity Security Network is a nonprofit organization that aligns with other nonprofits to promote peace and human rights in disaster and conflict areas. They are made up of faith based groups that enable the framework for these policies.
Overcoming Barriers And Providing Support
The organization aims to fight for nonprofit rights even if US laws prevent operating in conflict areas. They reach out to civil society groups and provide opportunities for joint participation and collaboration. Charity Security Network acts as a hub for information sharing within the US and abroad.
They look at current problems and engage with executive branch agencies, Congress, and international organizations to build democratic governance in affected areas.
Listen to the whole interview to find out how Charity Security Network overcomes political barriers to support humanitarian organizations. Their mission is to aid civilians in conflict areas when no one else will. If you want to help, Charity Security Network welcomes donations.
