Our Mission

The mission of PaxWorks is to build peace and gender equity by empowering women in impoverished areas through community structures and technical support.

Our Vision

PaxWorks collaborates with peaceful grassroots enterprises in impoverished areas. We work together, learn from each other, and grow side by side. The relationships and shared long term bonds that develop as a result of this close collaboration are vital to the success of this gender equity project. We believe that the shared work of partnering organizations will build understanding, tolerance and world peace.

Teacher Training in Belize

PaxWorks is delighted to announce the completion of our second Collaborative Teacher Training in Belize. Carol Babb, the competent and cordial Director of the Belize Anglican School System, Ursula Daniels, Executive Director and Founder of PaxWorks, and Jenny Bardwell, Community Curriculum Coordinator for West Virginia University’s HSTA program, decided to collaborate. All wanted to bring high quality science education to their constituent teachers, and create a pedagogical dialogue that would enhance enjoyment in the learning process. More...

Rimi Hasain lives in the middle of Dhakka with her family. She grew up several hours away in Dardaria, a village surrounded then, as now, by rice fields and huge tropical plants. She not only has kept in touch with her home village, but she is still part of it. The villagers hitchhike to Dhakka to ask advice when difficult decisions must be made, or legal, medical, or financial help is needed. Networking with friends and family in Bangladesh and abroad, usually resources are found. One request was for computer training at the village school. With the first computers from PaxWorks the training has begun. The children will need this skill when they are ready to find work.More....
