Mapendo International Sasha Chanoff Fellowship Awarded 2007  Photo courtesy of Christophe Calais Mapendo International protects and cares for forgotten and endangered refugees in Africa. The organization devises short and long-term solutions for victims of massacre and terror (targets of genocide, torture and rape survivors, widows, orphans and others at risk) whose struggle to survive would otherwise go unnoticed and unattended. Mapendo runs rescue and health initiatives designed to keep alive those displaced by war and to enable them to rebuild their lives in safety. Sasha Chanoff is a graduate of Wesleyan University and holds a master's degree in humanitarian assistance from the Tufts Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy and the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, a joint degree program run through the Feinstein International Center. He is a 2006 Echoing Green Fellow and serves on the board of the Sudanese Education Fund. Read more about Mapendo International at www.mapendo.org |
