Peace Child International

Peace Child was founded 40 years ago to provide a platform for young people to address the concerns they have, whether at a global or local level. Working together with Peace Child’s highly trained experts, young people identify key challenges in their lives then work together to develop and deliver projects to bring about social, economic and environmental change.

All our programmes have been designed to empower young people to take responsibility for their own future. Our theory of change requires that young people first inform themselves in detail about the challenges they face, then take action to resolve them. The charity has helped thousands of young people to build their confidence, and develop vital skills such as communication, negotiation and teamwork, all of which are essential in many aspects of their future, especially for employment.

Thanks to the support of our donors, the charity makes a huge impact which has been recognised by the UN who awarded the charity a Peace Messenger Award and UN-consultative status (ECOSOC).
