About Teachers for Peace

Our Mission
At Teachers for Peace, we believe education is a fundamental right and a powerful tool for fostering hope, resilience, and brighter futures. Our mission is to connect educators worldwide to provide free, high-quality education to children impacted by conflict and displacement. By empowering teachers and supporting students, we’re building a global community dedicated to peace, education, and opportunity.

Our Story
Teachers for Peace was founded in March 2022 in response to the war in Ukraine, and we’ve now been actively working for over 1,000 days. It began with a simple yet profound idea: to offer free online classes to children during a time of upheaval, keeping them engaged, hopeful, and connected.
Since then, we’ve expanded to reach students and teachers in multiple regions. Our chapter in Afghanistan is making an impact in communities affected by years of conflict, and we are excited to announce the launch of our newest chapter in Lebanon. This chapter is in its early stages, and with your help, we can build programs that provide lasting support to children and teachers there.

What We Do

1. Free Education for Children

We provide free online and in-person classes to children impacted by war and displacement, ensuring their learning continues uninterrupted during times of crisis.

2. Empowering Teachers

We train and support educators with trauma-informed teaching practices, innovative resources, and tools to help them thrive in challenging environments.

3. Expanding Global Chapters

We are excited to grow our presence in Lebanon, working with dedicated local teachers and volunteers to provide education and hope to communities in need. Like our established chapters in Ukraine and Afghanistan, this new initiative will focus on culturally responsive programs and building long-term partnerships.

4. Building a Global Community

We connect teachers, students, and supporters from around the world to share resources, foster innovation, and inspire hope. Together, we’re creating an ecosystem where education and peace thrive.

Our Impact
  • 1,000+ days of active service, delivering education and hope to those who need it most.
  • 700+ students served across Ukraine, Afghanistan, and beyond.
  • 70+ female-led teachers and volunteers powering the movement.
  • A new chapter in Lebanon in its early stages, ready to grow with your support.

Why We Need You
The launch of our Lebanon chapter marks an exciting new chapter in our story, but it also brings the need for additional resources. Your support can help us:
  • Establish programs for children in Lebanon.
  • Train local teachers and volunteers.
  • Provide the tools and materials needed to build a sustainable education initiative.

Here’s how you can help:
  • Donate: Your contributions directly support the growth of our Lebanon chapter and sustain our work in other regions.
  • Volunteer: Join us as a grant writer, fundraising expert, or educator to help us build this chapter from the ground up.
  • Spread the Word: Share our mission with your network to help us reach more supporters.
