Summary

We're a coalition of peacemakers stretching across Iraq, Syria, the United States, and beyond, working together to unmake violence.

We are first in with emergency aid on the frontlines of conflict and disaster, deeper than others are willing to go. We are last to leave, staying until we turn the corner from relief to development, investing in locals who create long-term impact.

We love anyway, even when we are scared. We show up, because presence can lead to love that can build "The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible." Finally, we get out of the way, empowering others to solve their own problems.

Purpose

We exist to end war.

The most important thing we do isn't providing food, water, or medicine. It's not creating jobs or helping refugees start new businesses. At the red hot center of everything we do-every food delivery, every family we serve-is the pursuit of peace between communities at odds.

We're not just aid workers. We are peacemakers. Every meal, every liter of water, every new job is a chance to demonstrate a different kind of love. A love big enough to unmake violence.


Mission statement

Preemptive Love is a global movement of peacemakers changing the way we engage the world's most polarizing conflicts by confronting fear with acts of love.

History

Our story began in a hotel lobby inside Iraq in 2007. A fearful father, his beautiful daughter, her ailing heart, and the simple question, "Please, will you try to save her?" From that day, we threw ourselves into eradicating the backlog of children waiting in line for lifesaving heart surgery, often in the most war-torn, unreached parts of the Iraq like Fallujah and Tikrit.

These years of investing in Iraq's medical infrastructure through training and lifesaving care resulted in over 1,300 heart surgeries. Because of our world renowned surgical teams, we were invited into every major region of the country. When ISIS rampaged onto the global scene, we were uniquely positioned to expand our programming so that we could continue to go to the conflict-zones others were fleeing, to love those no one else will love.

On the heals of our success in Iraq, we are now being invited to provide lifesaving heart surgeries for children around the world, in polarizing conflict-zones like Libya, Pakistan, and Iran.
