About Us - Conscience International

Who We AreConscience International is a humanitarian relief and development organization that implements life-saving medical interventions, refugee assistance, and community development programs following wars and natural disasters.  Since 1991 hundreds of volunteer teams have performed surgery, built houses, supplied food, medicine, tents, blankets, water, and hygiene kits to refugees, delivering millions of dollars of aid in over thirty countries.

MissionTo help suffering people in the neediest parts of the world by networking cooperatively with agencies, organizations and individuals.

VisionTo communicate by word, deed, and symbol the role of conscience in the world; to demonstrate by individual and corporate action ways of changing conditions for human betterment; to inspire and motivate people to involve themselves in acts of conscience so that they develop a greater capacity to help others, become peacemakers, act on behalf of justice, and raise awareness of the problems of hunger, disease, homelessness, and denial of human rights worldwide.

Goals

What We DoConscience International supplies food, medicine, and shelter to refugees and other needy populations, transports and deliver aid, sponsors emergency and long-term relief and development programs, and educates people about global conditions, including poverty, medical emergencies, and human rights violations.

Where We WorkWe go where the need is greatest.  This means that teams often work in countries that are among the neediest and most difficult in terms of access and security.  Conscience International is particularly active in disaster areas and zones of conflict where populations have been affected by earthquakes and wars.  The neediest places in the world are often the most neglected because they are located in areas difficult to access, where sustenance is marginal, poverty and violence are rampant, borders are closed, security is uncertain, and population growth and disease are out of control.
