Charity for People Powered Democracy was created by a group of human rights activists who believe that human society is best served when the governing system is based in democracy. We work toward:

  • Encouraging active and informed participation of individuals of all communities
    and backgrounds in the electoral process.
  • Strengthening democracy by educating the public regarding the importance of
    voting and understanding the voting process.
  • Assisting citizens in becoming informed voters so that they can participate in electing individuals that will help to improve their communities and lives.
