Atlas Relief and Development International (ARDI)

Atlas Relief and Development International (ARDI) is an international development organization registered in the United States, Germany, Turkey, and Eastern Syria that works in areas and among populations affected by conflict, instability, and war to provide on-the-ground relief, development, and social impact services, including training and capacity development. ARDI is guided by the mission to empower diverse communities affected by conflict to shape and participate in the peaceful, inclusive, rights-based, and secure futures they envision. ARDI works in partnership with a wide variety of communities, including those in conflict-affected areas, to support human rights, empowerment, capacity building, and civic engagement of women, youth, and emerging changemakers to achieve sustainable and inclusive peace and security. On the ground, ARDI collaborates closely with local partners to design and co-implement flexible, innovative, and cost-effective solutions to complex challenges in conflict-affected and remote areas and to diverse populations. Through our work, we emphasize efforts to support, empower, and capacitate displaced populations, emerging changemakers, members of minority groups, women, youth, people with disabilities, and community members from marginalized and/or vulnerable groups.
