World peace? A New Years Resolution worth keeping!

 

Every day, we help families around the globe, devastated by violence and conflict. Their humanitarian needs are overwhelming – but Australia and the rest of the world are failing to meet them.

Isn't it time we start investing more in preventing conflicts before they happen?

In this new year, instead of just WISHING for world peace - let's DO something to make it really happen. Build peace in your life, community and around the world, by choosing from 10 simple but meaningful steps in the World Vision Peace on Earth Pledge now. Then, over the next 10 days, we'll email you tips, hints and suggestions to help you fulfill your pledge.

The Peace on Earth Pledge is our way of asking Australians to unite with World Vision to prevent violence and conflict here and around the world - especially to protect vulnerable children.
 
In November 2019 we launched Crisis Averted, a report which outlines five steps the Australian Government can take to make us a global leader in conflict prevention and violence risk reduction.
 

Please take the Peace on Earth Pledge and help make Australia famous for our peacebuilding.
