The world needs us to act for peace
Never before have so many people had to flee their homes due to conflict and disasters.
In this unprecedented displacement crisis, more than 122 million* people around the world are without the peace of a safe place to belong.
Join us in acting for peace, because everyone deserves a safe place to belong.

“Home is a place where I don’t need to worry about the safety of my children.”

change strategies
Shaping positive change
We specialise in addressing displacement by supporting local organisations to build positive change – driven by the community and for the community.
Change strategy 1
Backing displaced people
We amplify the voices of people who are displaced, as they know their community’s needs and challenges best. Like Saw Meh* (pictured), who became a refugee camp leader on the Thai Burma border.
Change strategy 2
Building unity
Creating lasting positive change happens with people, not to people. We work side-by-side with people who are displaced around the world, like Tsehay* (pictured) in Ethiopia, to shape solutions together – empowering people to rebuild their lives.
Change strategy 3
Transforming the system
Together we are stronger. We amplify the voices of people whose lives have been uprooted by conflict and disaster, like these girls in Pakistan (pictured), to confront human injustices and advocate for systemic change.
