PEACE PROJECTS
... making a difference
As an independent charity, Children of Peace relies on the generosity of donations
to keep its valuable work going and it receives no income from any other sources.
Children of Peace has helped numerous grassroots Community Based Organisations and
Non Governmental Organisations in Gaza, Israel and the West Bank. All groups are
either Affiliates or Partners.
The funding has assisted regional arts, education, health and sports projects - from
funding children's soccer teams to helping with core funding; from helping to buy
musical instruments to carrying out important research on child health issues. Since
our foundation in 2006, we are proud to have helped fund the following groups and
organisations:
Abir Aramin Girls' Bursary

THE HOPE FLOWERS SCHOOL
The Hope Flowers School is an example of just one of the projects Children of peace
supports. It was founded in 1984 by Hussein Issa, a Palestinian refugee.
The school operates with an educational philosophy dedicated to peace and democratic
education.
Hussein thought that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict could be solved non-violently
only if Palestinian's create new generation believing in peace, coexistence and respect
for each other's rights.
Hussein believed that, if Palestinian and Israeli children were brought together
from early on in their lives, teaching them to move beyond fear and stereotyping
resulting from years of conflict, then we would create a generation of Palestinians
and Israelis who would bring a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
