A Voice For the Voiceless

The Advocacy Project helps marginalized communities to tell their story, claim their rights and produce social change. We recruit graduate students to volunteer as Peace Fellows with partners.

The Impact of Service



"I look at myself as having the potential to be as strong and caring as the amazing women I met in Kenya."

Kate Cummings (Tufts University) volunteered in 2009 as a Peace Fellow for Vital Voices in Africa.

The mission of Arche d’Alliance is to promote peace and defend human rights. The NGO was formed in 1997 in response to the numerous human rights violations in South Kivu after the war in the DRC (1996-2003), which led to widespread human rights abuses and societal breakdown.

The NGO is involved in research, documentation of human rights violations, human rights education, legal aid to victims of rights violations, particularly disadvantaged children and female survivors of sexual violence and other forms of discrimination, and advocacy for legal reform to protect better the rights of women and children.
