Peace Clubs

From Child Survivors of War to Leaders for Peace

“It's the children the world almost breaks who grow up to save it.” - Frank Warren

Peace Clubs were launched in 2012 with a vision to restore rescued child soldiers and children orphaned by war through on-going healing and peace-building groups. Child survivors of war do not have to be defined by their past. Yet, most need help recovering from chronic trauma and finding hope for the future.

Lives are being transformed! Child survivors of war are healing their wounds of trauma and being empowered to become leaders. Graduates from the program are reintegrating into their communities and are now leading Village Peace Clubs… leading others towards reconciliation and peace.

The Importance of Local Teammates

Exile International loves partnering with national caregivers and teammates. Because they are experts in their culture, their experiences and cultural awareness are key to successful programs. Without them, Exile International’s opportunities to impact lives would be limited. Each child receives emotional, spiritual, and physical care from loving, skilled caregivers. We are also proud to say 19 of our local staff are EI graduates! Read Bahati’s story and be inspired to see how he went from rescued child soldier to leading 86 war-affected children - utilizing the art-focused trauma care curriculum that helped him heal his own wounds.
