"Promoting Peace, Justice, and Sustainable Development"
The Darfur Peace and Development Organization (DPDO) is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that was founded in 2002 by a group of Darfuris living in the United States. The mission of DPDO is to provide humanitarian relief to victims of the conflict in Darfur, to facilitate just governance, and to enable Darfurians to rebuild and develop their homeland in a sustainable manner.
We are dedicated to achieving and restoring peace, providing humanitarian assistance, and advocating for human rights and capacity building to achieve sustainable development in the conflict-affected regions of Darfur. DPDO's mission is based on its fundamental view that humanitarian aid and relief are one of the instruments that can help to promote security and relative well-being during times of internal or external strife.
One of the distinguishing characteristics of DPDO is that we are able to work with the local populations in Darfur who are beyond the reach of major organizations.
