The Carter Center (Ethiopia) ^Charity

Founded in 1982, the Carter Center, in partnership with Emory University, is guided by a fundamental commitment to Human Rights and the alleviation of human suffering; it seeks to prevent and resolve conflicts, enhance freedom and democracy, and improve Healthcare. While the program agenda may change, The Carter Center is guided by five principles: it emphasizes action and results based on careful Economic Development and analysis; it does not duplicate the effective efforts of others; it addresses difficult problems and recognizes the possibility of failure as an acceptable risk; it acts as a neutral in dispute resolution activities; and it believes that people can improve their lives when provided with the necessary skills, knowledge, and access to resources.
