Peace Direct
Overview
Peace Direct is a London-based international charity dedicated to stopping violence and building lasting peace in conflict-affected regions. Founded in 2003 by Scilla Elworthy and Carolyn Hayman OBE, the organization operates on the principle that local people are best positioned to resolve conflicts within their communities. By partnering directly with grassroots peacebuilders, Peace Direct provides them with the necessary support, skills, resources, and platforms to make peace a practical and sustainable option. The organization's mission extends beyond direct support; it actively works to shift power and resources towards local peacebuilders by influencing decision-makers and key stakeholders. Through advocacy, research, and policy engagement, Peace Direct aims to transform the international peacebuilding system to better serve local communities. Their vision is a world where local communities can sustain peace independently, without reliance on intermediary organizations or external funders.
