About Peace Education and Community Empowerment PEACE Pakistan

Peace Education & Community Empowerment – PEACE Pakistan WHO WE ARE PEACE designs and implements youth and community programs that foster global youth exchange and women’s and human rights, empowering individuals and communities to understand their rights and promote a more just society. Peace Education and Community Empowerment was founded in 2004 as a non-profit, apolitical grassroots organization to promote global dialogue, women’s rights, and youth empowerment in local communities in Sindh. WHAT WE DO PEACE operates in four core areas including innovative education, peace-building and conflict resolution programming, community empowerment and public awareness. Its primary stakeholders are secondary school students, educators and communities at large. PEACE engages these stakeholders to improve educational and employment opportunities by building 21st learning skills to promote youth and women’s rights and sustained global dialogue. PEACE uses interactive tools such as real-time videoconferencing, youth workshops, educator professional development trainings, study circles, community awareness campaigns and similar outreach mediums to maximize the impact of its work. THE STORY OF PEACE Back in 2004, Mr. Wali Muhammad Danish Jatoi, Founder of PEACE Pakistan, identified a need for a sustainable educational and advocacy platform to bring opportunities to under-served areas of Sindh, Pakistan. Based in Bhit Shah, PEACE was formed to address the lack of structured activism and the need for innovative educational interventions in community. With humble beginnings, Mr. Jatoi understood that the students of under-served areas need to be given international exposure. He started communicating with international organizations and connected hundreds of Pakistan Public and Private sector schools in USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland, UAE, Indonesia, India, Philippines, Egypt, Italy, Palestine, Jordon, Mexico, and Ukraine on intercultural dialogue
