Peace Maker Foundation
Our interest is to enter into partnerships with schools in which we provide financial assistance to support their peacemaking efforts and the schools provide us with information that shows that students learn to be peacemakers. This information is the most critical factor to the success of our mission. We want to financially assist to the extent needed those schools that provide information that can convince donors to fully sponsor their work and inspire other schools to undertake similar peacemaking efforts.
