Survivor Corps (formerly the Landmine Survivors Network) and the Advocacy Project are working together to support survivors of conflict in Central Africa, helping them to rebuild their lives and communities.

About Survivor Corps
Survivor Corps is a global network of people helping each other overcome the effects of war and violence. For a decade and counting, Survivor Corps has been a world leader in survivor campaigning—bringing together the voices and energy of survivors to effect lasting change in attitudes and policies regarding violence, war and mass destruction.

We work wherever people are recovering from war and conflict, in countries still trying to rebuild after generations of conflict, from the Balkans to Southeast Asia. We work where survivors, working together, have the best chance to influence policy and break cycles of violence.
We are joining forces with hundreds of organizations to advocate for better laws, policies and practices to improve opportunities for tens of millions of survivors, and fight the root causes of violence.

- Face Facts—about suffering and loss
- Choose Life—living for the future not in the past
- Reach Out—by connecting to others who have ‘been there’
- Get Moving—by setting goals for healthy recovery
- Give Back—with gratitude by contributing to your community and the world.
FIND A PARTNER
The Advocacy Project develops partnerships with advocates on the frontline and with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). In so doing, we take our cue from partners and tailor any support to their needs.
