| Description: | Nonprofit project that started as a project-based learning community service learning project. Headquarters are in the David Brower Center in Berkeley, California. "It's a question asked every day in Darfur. Women risk rape and mutilation each time they leave the refugee camps in search of fire wood. With as many as 400,000 Darfuris dead and 2.3 million more having fled their homes for the safety of refugee camps, it may seem overwhelming but there is hope." |
