Summary of Organization

Jahwar Amber Fund (JAF) seeks to make religious freedom a social norm. Too often, consciousness is seen as a barrier of division. JAF believes pluralism can be a bridge of cooperation, strengthening our civil society and promoting the common good.

Just as civil rights leaders and environmentalists built transformative movements in the 20th century, JAF believes that Unitarian Universalist leaders will build the movement for pluralist cooperation in the 21st century.

Since 2009, JAF has worked in Africa and with over 20 college and university campuses, training hundreds in the principles of secular leadership, and reaching millions through the media. We have worked with partners including the Secular Students Alliance, IHEU, IARF, Skepchics, the White House, Center for Inquiry and the Office of Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan.

About the Medical Camp
Jahwar Amber Foundation coordinates doctors looking to spend sometime helping in a needy hospital or community by matching them with community dispensaries/clinics and obtaining necessary volunteer or work permits.
