Peace Direct
Peace Direct - stopping wars one person at a time
Every minute, two people die in conflicts around the world, and families are forced from their homes. But in these conflicts there are local people ending violence, saving lives and repairing shattered communities. Person by person, let’s build a world where no-one dies because of war.

Impact & reporting
Situation
Every minute two people die because of war. Every day one in five of us wake up in conflict. Families forced to flee their homes, extremist attacks, girls who are scared to go to school. We hear stories of rape and torture being used as weapons of war. This must stop. International efforts alone are not working, wars restart, conflicts continue and violence leads to further violence. Local people are not involved in resolving conflicts and they must be. But they need our support and funding.
Solution
Through supporting local people to stop conflict, one person at a time. They are helping rebuild lives, resolve conflicts, and stopping people from choosing a life of violence. We partner with these local groups to help them train peacebuilders, giving them to the tools to build lasting peace in their communities. We will also promote local peacebuilders, so the international community sees that they can be an integral part of the solution. One person at a time, we will stop wars and violence.
