Peacemaking
UnitingWorld peacemaking programs are run through Young Ambassadors for Peace (YAP) a program established by Joy Balazo. These programs strive to build a culture of peace and justice in communities in need of conflict resolution.
YAP has centres in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Burma, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Each centre is supported by local staff who are passionate about breeding peace in their communities and trained to run effective peace building workshops.
YAP empowers people to create peace, resolve conflict and build friendships across barriers of conflict and violence, paving the way for much needed development.
Donations of $2 and over to Peacemaking programs are tax deductible and are managed by the Relief and Development unit.
