Parents for Peace

How parents can get involved?

Parent’s teach children about empathy, the power of education, and how to be a good citizen. Pennies for Peace (P4P) offers opportunities for families to work together and promote peace through educational philanthropy.

  • Get other parents involved!
  • Ask parents to match their students, classrooms, or school’s donation.

At your student’s school:

Encourage your student’s school to participate in a P4P campaign!

To help make P4P campaigns more meaningful, we have created FREE curricula for grades K-12. Our lesson plans, activities, and resources help students understand the oftentimes complex issues surrounding education in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Tajikistan. Anyone can register to have access to use our FREE curriculum toolkit.

Spread the message: 

Tell others about the importance of education. Let your children know that they are our future leaders and they can become activists in the creation of global peace!

How to start a Pennies for Peace campaign

What you can do at
home:

Set up a bucket at home and have family members drop change into it.  Make it fun! Make it a contest!

Let your children help to create rules. For example, have them donate a portion of their allowance to the Pennies for Peace bucket. Have them drop a few pennies into a bucket instead of making their bed one morning.

Add up your donation. Your family can be responsible for helping change a life by giving a child the opportunity to go to school!

100% of your donation goes directly to building new schools, repairing and improving existing schools, and purchasing equipment such as uniforms, furniture, and school supplies for students and teachers in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Tajikistan. Without your help, many of these children wouldn’t be able to attend school. Now they have hope for a better future!
