Peace starts here is a first of its kind campaign co-created by us, local peacebuilders from across the world. Which is why the below organisations are committed to supporting our movement.
Peace Starts Here is proudly endorsed by:
Peace Direct exists to support local peacebuilders around the world. Local people are the experts in the conflicts that affect their communities, and only they understand what it takes to build peace that lasts. Peace Direct work to make sure these local peacebuilders have the resources they need to make peace a reality. Peace Direct have supported Peace Starts Here since 2018 when local peacebuilders first came up with the idea of a locally-led campaign.
