The Quaker United Nations Office (QUNO) works with the United Nations to achieve mutual goals of Peace and Security, Economic Development and Elimination of Poverty, Human Rights and Youth Development. The Fund for Quaker House supports this building only 1 1/2 blocks from the United Nations. In it, Quaker staff arrange luncheons where invitees who hold opposing views on controversial issues can discuss the issues and get to know each other in an informal and off-the-record atmosphere.
