Our fellows are able to have enriching and successful fellowship experiences because of the grassroots organizations that host them. The SoT Campaign partners with established organizations on the ground and can immerse the fellows in field experience. Our fellows greatly benefit from the experience of working alongside colleagues in the field of their choice, facing the same challenges they face on a daily basis.

- Mission Statement: The Foundation for the Defense of Democracies
(FDD) is the only nonpartisan policy institute dedicated exclusively to
promoting pluralism, defending democratic values, and fighting the ideologies
that drive terrorism. FDD was founded shortly after 9/11 by a group of visionary
philanthropists and policymakers to engage in the worldwide war of ideas
and to support the defense of democratic societies under assault by terrorism
and Militant Islamism.
FDD uniquely combines policy research, democracy training, strategic communications, and investigative journalism. We focus our efforts where opinions are formed and, ultimately, where the war of ideas will be won or lost: in the media, on college campuses, and in the policy community, at home and abroad.
- Save the Children
- Region: Vietnam, Asia
- Issues: Children & Youth, Education, Poverty, Public Health
- Mission Statement: In 1990, Save the Children received an unprecedented
invitation from the Government of Vietnam to help address widespread child
malnutrition. The result was a groundbreaking effort pioneering the "Positive
Deviance" approach — discovering, learning from and promoting the practices
of poor families whose children were thriving while children of other families
with access to the same resources and environment were not.
"Positive Deviance" not only became a hallmark of our work in Vietnam, but is the model we use to address children's malnutrition in other countries. From this foundation, we have broadened our focus in Vietnam and today work in 10 provinces, reaching children and women in both rural and urban areas.
