At PeaceWorks, we believe that people and organizations are at their best when they are invested in community, actively acknowledging the interdependence of community members and the responsibilities we share for our collective well-being. PeaceWorks provides technology solutions both locally, and around the globe, that empower both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. Our vision is to build relationships with people and organizations, creating dynamic communities that use technology for the benefit of all.
Social Justice
PeaceWorks values individual and social efforts that ensure the dignity and well-being of all people, especially the most vulnerable. The most widely held understanding of justice refers to that which people deserve. We believe that justice is better defined in terms of the things that people need. From this definition, situations like homelessness, poverty, racism, exploitation, abuse, and many others become issues of justice. This type of justice is often referred to as "social justice", and it is to organizations that promote this type of justice that we dedicate our efforts.
Affordability
For many reasons, hiring effective computer personnel has become a costly undertaking. Because most social justice organizations, individuals and small family businesses have considerably tighter budgets than other corporations or groups, they are often unable to afford the costs required to secure quality computer support. As such, many of the benefits that may be reaped by appropriate use of computer technology are not available to such organizations.
Social Justice + Affordability = PeaceWorks
PeaceWorks was conceived with these concepts of justice and affordability in mind. In order to make the benefits of appropriate computer technology available to justice-oriented groups and businesses, PeaceWorks provides affordable, high-quality consulting services. Fees vary depending on the financial strength of the organization, with rates geared towards non-profit/charities, and for businesses. Using this approach, our more financially strong clients effectively subsidize those with less monetary resources while both receive top computer consulting support.
