Peace Child International is a charitable organisation based in the UK. We have ECOSOC status at the United Nations, and for more than 30 years have worked to empower young people through youth-led development.
We believe in the power of youth-led development. Through our innovative employability and entrepreneurship programmes we are working to improve jobs and livelihoods for thousands of young people around the world. We encourage young people to get informed and give them all the tools and support they need to create positive change in their own lives and that of their communities.
Our youth network are the driving force behind PCI, they tell us what is most important to them and help us plan and execute our organisational goals and strategy. This is what we call Youth-Led Development – a term coined at our first World Youth Congress in 1999.
