Global Food Crisis - Take Action

ASIA AMERICA INITIATIVE’s nutrition and health programs provide vital assistance to children and their families suffering from malnutrition and water-borne diseases; our farming and fisheries programs empower agricultural communities not only to be self-sufficient but also to provide surplus to other communities in desperate need.

For $25 you an provide rice or wheat to a family of five for one week

For $100 you can provide enough seed and fertilizer to help a family of five to feed themselves and sell a portion to others in need
 

Adopt a Classroom

Adopt a Classroom is a component of the Development for Peace in Sulu program. This project is focused in Jolo, Sulu, the most impoverished area in the Philippines, located in Muslim Mindanao and threatened by al-Qaeda terrorists. Sulu ranks at the bottom in all Southeast Asian categories of health, education, employment and violence. It leads the Philippines in infant and child mortality and has a 65 percent school drop-out rate -- by the 6th grade. Through the people-to-people Adopt a Classroom project, you can provide basic classroom materials to impoverished public schools. This helps to deter violence and terrorism through building hope, starting with youth.
 

Community Service Scholarship

AAI’s unique community service scholarships provide opportunities for Muslim high school and college students who come from impoverished and violence plagued communities to turn their lives around. To earn the scholarship, students must perfom community service in overcrowded elementary schools or at local hospitals. We build bridges between religions and cultures through educational partnerships.  AAI partners include the Jesuit Ateneo University system and Notre Dame College of Jolo.

Music For Peace

Music for Peace brings music and arts into public schools located on the front line of terror and religious conflict. As part of AAI’s international Development for Peace program, music and arts builds bridges for peace and inter-cultural understanding.
