Our Impact

Since its inception in 1990 Peace-Links has won numerous national and international awards in the areas of visual and performing arts, peace-building, human rights and youth leadership. Below you will find a summary of some of our achievements. This would not have been possible without the support of our sponsors (both organizations and private individuals), partners (both local and international) and perhaps most importantly the communities we serve.
