Our Story
Kids for Peace Global was founded in 2009 by a group of educators and activists who believed that every child deserves a peaceful and safe childhood.
Starting with a small school in East Africa, we have grown into an international organization working in more than 30 countries worldwide. Our mission is to enable children to grow up in safety, receive education, and become peacemakers in their communities.
Over the years, we have helped more than 500,000 children gain access to education, healthcare, and basic life necessities.
