A billion people across six continents live every day without an effective central government.
Some struggle with insecurity, starvation or effective water supplies, while others lack a central authorities that can bring light, sanitation and decent roads.
The things you and I take for granted -- good jobs, a safe home, family around us largely free from tragedy, secure and united communities -- they only dream of. They yearn for a better future, and are prepared to work hard to bring it, but their efforts are frustrated. They need to see hope.
The UNV Council On Collapsed Nations is that hope. We bring security, we bring aid, we bring the world's best administrators to help train the next generation of civil servants who can build the new world they hope for.
But the UNVCOCN cannot do this alone. We need your support to help bring that hope to a needy world.
