#PeaceBuilderVoices Help Us Bring 25 Pairs of Palestinian & Israeli Speakers to UK Schools!
We have seen a huge surge in interest in our work from schools, teachers, young people and communities around the UK over the last 6 months. The painful and heartbreaking stories that continue to emerge, in the wake of the terrible events of October 7th and the devastating war which has followed, mean more and more young people need our help.
We have had our busiest ever academic year so far, already surpassing our 9,000 participants target before the end of the Spring Term. But we want to - and need to - do more. We have seen the impact of how this conflict impacts communities in the UK, and that schools struggle to properly equip young people to engage with this vital topic in a safe, meaningful and constructive way.
Next academic year, we are planning on increasing the number of tours we run from 17 to 25 in order to meet the demands and needs of the UK school communities, with the aim of reaching at least 12,500 people. But we need your help to make this possible.
On April 15th, we launch our annual matched fundraising campaign - this year the theme is #PeaceBuilderVoices. So often, from young people and educators, we are told about the importance of hearing from the voices of people usually not given a platform - those working towards justice & peace, and a brighter future for Israel & Palestine.
To bring 25 Palestinian & 25 Israeli Peace Builders to the UK next year, we need your support. Our matched fundraising campaign will run from 15th-30th of April, and we’re aiming to raise £10,000 to make our ambitious plans possible. Additionally, thanks to some of our generous supporters, we're about to match and double every donation made during this campaign, in order for your contribution to go twice as far. If you donate £10, it will be matched and your donation will be worth £20.
Thank you.
