Peace Direct is an international NGO which supports local people in some of the most challenging conflict environments worldwide. We support local people to stop violence by providing them with the support, skills, resources and voice needed to make peace a practical option.
Every day, people around the world stop violence in its tracks and help keep their communities safe. But they shouldn’t have to do it alone. At Peace Direct, we support these local peacebuilders to create a safer world for everyone.
