Peaceworks: Promoting Peace through business.
Description
Since its beginnings in 1994, PeaceWorks Holdings LLC has been a business that pursues both profit and peace. We pursue profit through our sales of healthful food products that are produced by neighbors on opposing sides of political or armed conflicts, whose cooperative business ventures we facilitate. We pursue peace through the support of our PeaceWorks Foundation and the One Voice Movement. We donate 5 percent of all profits to empower the moderates in the Middle East who want a peaceful end to the war through a two-state solution.
PeaceWorks imports creative healthy foods that use only the freshest ingredients. The result is delicious, all-natural products. PeaceWorks currently does business with Israelis, Palestinians, Egyptians, Turks, Indonesians, Sri Lankans and Australians.

      Thousands young people from home-town, Jenin, Palestine, immigrated aboard (mostly to Norway) or to rich city in country (Ramallah) as they do not find work. This is a sign these peace-projects are not involving all existing capacities.
      What we need is "Integrated Ecosystems of Production" with fair shareholding and strict community building principles.

      What I am committed to now: http://peaceportal.mobi/open/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=298&func=view&catid=15&id=61#61
