CEF was formed to gather resources that are directed toward addressing some of the most difficult situations that humans face. By focusing on fewer, rather than more issues, CEF hopes to have a real impact on people’s lives.

CEF’s primary focus is sto assist in addressing the e effects of the conflict in the Middle East including war trauma, unemployment and personal recovery.

CEF is also interested in future activities focusing on topics such as domestic violence and substance abuse, particularly in Native American communities in North America.
