Project C.U.R.E. provides $60 million in relief efforts to Ukraine

In Colorado, Project C.U.R.E. has been actively working to supply aid to countries in need, particularly amidst the challenges arising from the cancellation of U.S. foreign aid contracts. Dr. Douglas Jackson, the CEO and President of Project C.U.R.E., highlighted the frustration felt by many aid organizations after receiving a stop-work order due to changes in the U.S. government's approach to international aid and contracting. Specifically, over 5,200 contracts have been canceled, which Dr. Jackson noted have wasted tens of billions of dollars, further complicating the foreign aid landscape. Despite these challenges, the organization has vowed to continue its mission of providing aid worldwide. Jackson expressed his commitment to maintaining this dedication to humanitarian efforts, emphasizing that he aims to change the world rather than the opinions of those who oppose foreign aid. The work of Project C.U.R.E. has become even more prominent since the onset of the war in Ukraine, where the organization has contributed nearly $60 million in aid to assist the impacted populations. This commitment underscores the vital role of private organizations in providing humanitarian assistance during times of global crisis, especially as public funding for foreign aid becomes increasingly limited. Looking forward, Jackson remains determined to navigate these shifts and uphold Project C.U.R.E.'s mission of delivering aid, reflecting a broader challenge faced by many NGOs in the current geopolitical environment.
