Every time children come together for Play for Peace, we call it a Practice Peace Session. These sessions are more than just play—they are a powerful means of fostering understanding, compassion, and peace among children from diverse backgrounds.
Your support can help us reach more children and continue to cultivate a world where compassion and peace are the norms.
Thanks to our community and donor support, over 1 million children have experienced moments of laughter, compassion, and peace.
What We Do

Your kindness can transform a child’s hardest moment.
After Cyclone Ditwah and the devastating floods that followed, children in camps across Sri Lanka have been living with deep emotional stress, loss, and uncertainty. Their worlds were disrupted overnight, and the need for safe, stabilizing spaces has never been greater.
Two remarkable Play for Peace leaders are answering that need with compassion, creativity, and commitment.
