About The Peace Foundation
The Peace Foundation was established in order to promote the development of a more peaceful and caring society through education for peace. We have well-established programmes in schools and the wider community, which have helped thousands of New Zealanders, resolve conflicts and improve their lives. Our headquarters are in Auckland and we have offices in Wellington and Christchurch. The Wellington Office is running the Babel Project. We would love to see you all so pop in and say hello!!
