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.

Maha Khan, the Afghan Learning Institute and the Afghan Women's Network

Maha Khan, currently at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), is heading to her home country for the summer, Pakistan.

Maha is extremely excited to work at the grassroots level and in the hub of NGO activity, Peshawar. Prior to SAIS, Maha was a consultant working on women's transportation issues in the US and developing nations.

She strongly believes in bringing gender issues to the forefront of development, especially in post-conflict countries. She hopes to assist the Afghan Learning Institute and Afghan Women's Network in empowering their members by arming them with information, and raising awareness on AIL's activities. She also cannot wait to go back to mango season in Pakistan.
