Many of the young people who participate in the Children’s Movement come from families that are poor. The Children’s Peace Fund was established to help young people who have been leaders of the Children’s Movement for Peace by contributing funds for higher education. The Children’s Peace Fund helped Juan Elias and his family escape from Colombia after they faced relentless intimidation and threats. It is currently assisting Farlis, Mayerly, Wilfrido and Johemir with education costs. Learn more and make a contribution.
