The Peter C. Alderman Foundation’s (PCAF) mission is to create a sustainable, culturally effective trauma treatment system in post-conflict countries around the globe by providing expert professional training to indigenous caregivers and establishing trauma treatment clinics to heal the emotional wounds of victims of torture, terrorism and mass violence. One billion people, a sixth of humanity, have directly experienced mass violence through civil war, ethnic cleansing or genocide in at least 50 countries around the world. Approximately 40% of victims are left with incapaciting traumatic depression and PTSD.  Untreated, traumatic depression is trans-generational. Unfortunately, in resource poor countries, the treatment of these survivors remains primitive. It has been demonstrated that with proper therapy 80% can be returned to purposeful lives: the men to work, the women to caring for their families and the children to school. This improves social, political and economic welfare of communities. PCAF trained personnel and Foundation run clinics have touched more than 75,000 people. PCAF’s unique clinical model ensures a sustainable, culturally effective mental healthcare system by providing expert professional training to indigenous caregivers. They, in turn, not only deliver treatment in their local villages and communities, but also train other indigenous healers, thus ensuring long term sustainability. PCAF uses only evidence-based treatments and carefully measures both the outcome and impact of therapy. It is noteworthy that four Foundation trained professional personnel have become policy makers for their countries. Over the years, the Foundation has found its unique clinical model to be both scalable and replicable. The trauma treatment systems serve as an example to governments of resource poor countries that their countrymen can be healed.  Unlike many NGO’s, PCAF is highly collaborative, partnering with local governments, medical schools, and religious institutions, thereby deeply embedding itself in the country it serves. The Clinic staffs are trained to provide local victims with culturally appropriate treatment. The Foundation currently operates two Clinics in Cambodia, two Clinics in Uganda and two Clinics in Rwanda in partnership with the Rwandan Government and Partners in Health (PIH), headed by Paul Farmer, M.D.  In early 2009, it plans to open a third Clinic in Kitgum, Uganda and a Clinic in the Central Plateau Region of Haiti.  These Clinics are Centers of Excellence, serving as models for global replication. The work of PCAF serves as an inspiration for several reasons.  In 5 short years, the Foundation not only left a profound and indelible mark that Peter existed, but also demonstrated that ordinary individuals can make a highly significant difference in the world. By force of will, PCAF has constructed a proportionate response to unspeakable evil with profound good.
