The Peace Projects seeks to create safe, peaceful and tolerant communities in the world by increasing respect and mutual understanding amongst individuals from different faith, ethnic and cultural traditions. We aim to bring social change in local communities by creating partnerships with individuals, non-profit organizations, and institutions working with local communities through awareness and advocacy campaigns, literacy programs, promotion of the arts and culture, and gender mainstreaming. For the purposes of our organization, social change is the sociocultural transformation of attitudes and patterns of behavior toward members of certain religious, ethnic and cultural communities within our community and society at large.
