American Jewish World Service: International Development and Human Rights Organization

American Jewish World Service (AJWS) is a nonprofit international development and human rights organization that supports community-based groups in 19 countries in the developing world. AJWS also works to influence U.S. international policies and funding in relation to human rights, global health, and poverty. Robert Bank (pictured) is president and CEO of AJWS.
 
Quote: “At AJWS, we have been asking our supporters, grantees and staff why they are still hopeful amid a devastating global pandemic, and as threats to justice and democracy proliferate around the world. The resounding answer has been that we remain hopeful because, despite the challenges, the AJWS community continues to fight for the rights and dignity of the world’s most vulnerable people — and we’re making progress.”
