The PEACE Fund focuses on small, under-funded and hard-working charities who set out to make a positive difference to children living in very difficult circumstances. To receive funds, organizations must be small enough for a direct relationship; experienced enough to ensure that funds will be wisely applied; be willing to use the donations from The PEACE Fund to protect, educate or aid children and (via their location) assist the Fund in its global reach.
Recipient charities of The PEACE Fund have reputations for integrity, a history of success with donated monies and a willingness to keep The PEACE Fund updated regarding how its donations are being expended.

COTA - The Children’s Organ Transplant Association is a national charity based in the USA, that provides fundraising assistance for children needing lifesaving organ, marrow and tissue transplants. COTA’s priority is to ensure that no child or young adult is denied a transplant or excluded from a transplant waiting list due to lack of funds.
They guide the family and their volunteers through every step including: organizing and training the campaign committee, planning successful events and activities, working with the media and finding multiple sources of funding.
They have assisted more than 850 families with fundraising to meet transplant-related expenses (things not covered by insurance) from almost every state and every economic situation.

The Children's Organ Transplant Association has 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status to aid local campaigns in soliciting funds and all contributions are fully deductible as allowable by law for income tax purposes. |

The Krabi Relief Fund has been in operation for ten years in the Krabi province of Thailand. It is the only government-approved charitable organization for that area helping the underprivileged children of Krabi province.
Since the disaster on 26 December 2004, the Foundation has had a large task facing it. There are over 100 children from the province who lost one or both of their parents - 50-60 or them from Phi Phi Island alone. This means that they have little or no means of support.

With the help of many businesses on the island, the Phi Phi Island Tsunami Relief Fund was set up through Hi Phi Phi, a community-based charitable initiative of local Koh Phi Phi residents and non-Thais who joined forces to help the people of Phi Phi rebuild their lives after the Indian Ocean tsunami.
The PEACE Fund's PEACE in Paradise project was established in response to the devastating tsunamis which ripped through South East Asia on 26 December, 2004.
|
Prompted not only by the desire to help the children whose lives were forever altered by the natural disaster but also by a personal connection - a brother who lives with his family in on Koh Phi Phi - Adrian Paul immediately began the organization of the first PEACE Fund auction.

The Relief Fund For Romania is a British charity, based in the UK, that raises funds and spends them in destitute areas of Romania.
The Relief Fund for Romania was founded by Romanian exiles from Communism led by Ion Ratiu (1917-2000), distinguished Romanian diplomat, entrepreneur, publisher, writer and humanitarian. He devoted his life to the fight for democracy in Romania. Ion Ratiu also co-founded Amnesty International with British lawyer Peter Beneson. The Relief Fund for Romania was the major focal point of the UK’s generous aid response.
Together with the local Department of Child Protection, their teams work daily on the streets in an outreach programme. It identifies homeless children very early in their life on the street before they succumb to the inevitable risks of substance abuse and criminality. |

The School Makes A Difference (SMAD) program was created in the USA in 1990. The original emphasis of the program was on career counselling and showing teenagers the important role their education played in improving their futures.
From its early days one of The PEACE Fund’s goals was to involve celebrities in its programs, allowing them to inspire and motivate children. Adrian recognised the potential of SMAD and personally conducted and organised a number of the workshops.
PEACE Fund Volunteers - people who wanted to donate some of their time or expertise to help the children of inner city schools - have staffed all the School Makes A Difference programs. Without them it would have been difficult to staff these events and make them run so smoothly.
Historically, the SMAD program targeted children between the ages of 8-14, but children ranging in age from 5-18 also benefited. Due to the portability and adaptability of the program, it was taken to schools, youth centers and educational facilities around the country.

conservation, tolerance, peace, social equity and human rights.

Education through
the art of storytelling
Storytelling, a timeless form of entertainment and education, provides new opportunities for children in Pakistan to receive informal education. The PEACE Fund, by donating $20,000 of the $28,000 needed for this project, is proud to be the major sponsor of this important literacy initiative.

Many of the world’s teachers work in educational environments that lack basic infrastructure and materials, safety, living wages and teacher training.
The mission of Teachers Across Borders, Inc (TAB) is to help teachers raise the general level of educational opportunity through professional
development. The need is critical.
The PEACE Fund is currently supporting the work of TAB in Cambodia. Each program features nine workshops and TAB anticipates 1000 elementary and secondary teachers will participate.
|
Since each Cambodian teacher teaches between 50 and 200 students a day, and the education children acquire lasts a lifetime, investments in good teaching lead to meaningful change. TAB is looking to expand this program into Serbia and Panama.
