The goal of EMAP is to use humanitarian relief in support of the long-term needs and perspectives of AFSC's International Programs. EMAP seeks to end immediate suffering as a result of disaster or conflict in ways that will achieve peace, justice, human rights, development and tolerance in the regions where AFSC has a staff presence. EMAP's approach to humanitarian relief is education of people in the U.S. and coordination with the field staff to develop interest in and a sense of responsibility towards communities where people are suffering. Through its relief activity, EMAP offers excellent opportunities for Quaker and non-Quaker communities to act in support of people around the world with great need. In the last three years the program has grown substantially from basic relief to material assistance.
New challenges make our program very dynamic.
