PeaceWork is a project development platform focused on peace-seeding initiatives
We do things differently. Unlike traditional charities that provide one-time funding and walk away, we stay. We listen. We invest in people, not just projects.
What is PeaceWork
The Problem
Right now, there are incredible changemakers dedicating their lives to building peace in their communities. They are rescuing women from violence, giving children access to education, and helping people rebuild their lives after trauma. But they are often working alone, without the mentorship, resources, or support they need to grow their impact. Too many life-changing initiatives struggle to survive, not because they lack passion, but because they lack the backing to truly thrive.
We don’t just believe in peace—we build it.
We stand beside the people who are already creating change, offering them the mentorship, coaching, and leadership development they need to take their projects to the next level.
Our unique approach
We do things differently. Unlike traditional charities that provide one-time funding and walk away, we stay. We listen. We invest in people, not just projects.
Grow
Through deep, ongoing support, we help local changemakers grow into stronger, more confident leaders.
Connect
We provide them with tools, connections, and knowledge to build something that lasts.
Thrive
And when they succeed, entire communities are lifted. This is how we create ripples of peace—one leader, one project, one community at a time.
Meet The Changemakers We support
These aren’t just projects. They are people—people who refuse to accept the world as it is and are actively building the world as it should be.
If their work inspires you, join us. Whether through mentorship, financial support, or spreading the word, you can be a part of this movement.
Together, we don’t just hope for peace—we make it happen.
Hope Skilling (Uganda) – Founder: Sarah Arao
Sarah has dedicated her life to helping women who have survived sex trafficking find dignity and independence. Through Hope Skilling, she provides them with vocational training, mental health support, and leadership development, helping them build lives where they no longer just survive, but thrive.
Why PeaceWork?
The world is facing a growing crisis. The Sustainable Development Goals—already a set of negotiated compromises—are slipping further out of reach. Meanwhile, global temperatures are rising faster than scientists predicted, pushing entire regions toward uninhabitability. Mass migration will follow. And with it, rising tensions between people, communities, and nations.
Now is the time to strengthen our peace-building muscle.
We are already seeing the pressure build: more extreme weather events, regional conflicts, and rising geopolitical instability. The need for proactive peace-building is no longer a future concern—it’s a present imperative.
When HeartWork was invited to help shape a new peace-building initiative, it wasn’t a question of if we should engage. It was clear: the time to act is now.
