The Carter Center
This nonprofit, nonpartisan policy institute was founded by former President Carter in 1982. The Center is dedicated to fighting disease, hunger, poverty, conflict, and oppression. You may have heard about Carter's diplomatic feats in recent years; here you can read about what his policy institute is trying to do in troubled countries around the world. Especially when considering questions of autocratic rule and human rights violations, it is important to look at a group like this that seems to be making a real difference.
