The Peace Project

Last year, on World Peace Day, The Peace Project distributed 10,000 pairs of crutches across the entire country of Sierra Leone to amputees, war victims, polio survivors, women and children -- some who have been crawling on the ground for ten years.

Now, we're proud to announce the Make Peace Campaign. Make Peace is a fundraising campaign that continues to open the door to a different way to create change -- one that promotes greater equality between donors and recipients. The funds raised will help us build the first Peace Center in Sierra Leone.

Make Peace is also a social campaign -- in addition to raising money, we'll be engaging people worldwide in a dialogue about what "makes peace" starting right in Sierra Leone. We'll then share the results.

CURRENT INITIATIVES

Operation rise

On September 21, 2011, World Peace Day, The Peace Project implemented one of the most dramatic social efforts in recent history by distributing 10,000 pairs of crutches and repair parts across the country of Sierra Leone. We're still getting crutches out to people in the most remote areas. Donate $25 now and change someone's life forever.

the peace center

Join us in creating Sierra Leone's first Peace Center -- a multi-use cultural and training facility that will revitalize the Aberdeen Amputee Community and be used as the basis for a community development model.

The Peace Team

Getting people working is a critical step towards sustainable peace. All of The Peace Project's initiatives are developed to move adults in this direction, but none more so than The Peace Team whereby we'll create training programs that get people working within months.

WATER = LIFE

Access to clean drinking water is one of the greatest fundamental challenges in Sierra Leone -- the critical lack (especially in rural areas) dramatically increases risks of waterborne illnesses, causes other health issues, and negatively impacts education. Moving forward into 2012 and beyond, The Peace Project's goal is to lead an initiative that will ensure everyone in Sierra Leone has access to clean water within three years.

The Peace Project aims to inspire in peace-minded individuals everywhere the belief that through creativity, compassion, a common goal, and community action, such a difference can be made that universal peace begins looking like a real possibility.
