WHY EDUCATION
Education is a vital part of peacebuilding, yet schools are failing children in conflict zones more than anywhere else in the world. Justice Rising operates its own network of schools, and partners with both private and public-school operators, rethinking education to deliver high-quality schooling in conflict zones.
THE PATH TO PEACE WINDS THROUGH
THE CLASSROOM
Like our own kids, children living in war zones want to grow up in safe, healthy communities.
What if the world’s greatest peacemakers came from the places most devastated by war? We believe they can. And we’re making sure they do.
OUR IMPACT

students educated through our own private school network and public school partnership with the Congolese government where we deliver our quality schools framework, SMoLL Steps.
550+
