United Action for
World Peace
5 charities
Support the best solutions for world peace
Politics and power struggles trump the need for peace and security worldwide. Conflict can be found everywhere in the world, through terrorism, nuclear proliferation, civil wars, or forced displacement. Our United Action bundles the very best performing charities supporting world peace, so you can donate to several solutions at once.
The problem
Power struggles and political priorities trump the need for peace and security worldwide. Local and international conflict is present everywhere in the world, be it in the form of terrorism, nuclear proliferation, civil wars, military intervention, civil unrest or forced displacement.
Innocent people are killed, severely injured; they are forced to leave their homes, live in inhumane conditions and under constant threat.
No political agenda is more important than human lives, yet in the current state of our world global peace is treated like an unattainable dream. It isn’t.
Solutions
Peacebuilding, resolving conflicts around the world, is an evolving field of study with diverse approaches. As there are many different causes for conflict, there are also many different ways of resolving it.
Direct assistance in conflict zones, such as economic and humanitarian aid and providing people with information and development programmes, is a proven effective method. Alongside direct assistance, strengthening democratic institutions in conflict zones, implementing inclusive policies and access to justice ensures the sustainability of peacebuilding actions.
In this appeal, you’ll find a selected group of organisations working in all of these fields.
