Act for Peace

Act for Peace Together, we’re creating a world where people uprooted by conflict and disaster have a safe place to belong.

Act for Peace works with and for people around the world who are uprooted by conflict and disaster. We invest in local organisations and join forces to create lasting change, helping empower people to regain the peace that comes with having a safe place to belong. Act for Peace has been bringing compassionate people together for over 75 years to back displaced people, build unity, and transform the system. We are an international humanitarian agency that stands with people facing and experiencing displacement, to amplify their voices and help shape locally led solutions. As the international humanitarian agency of the National Council of Churches in Australia, we are confronting human injustice together through the global Act Alliance. In caring for humankind together, we’re acting for peace in the world.

It's been a month since the floods and landslides devastated communities in Nepal.

The response is gradually shifting from search and rescue towards relief and recovery. The humanitarian needs are great and the road to recovery will be long.

Thanks to your generosity, Act for Peace is supporting DanChurchAid and INF Nepal through the ACT Alliance, as part of the coordinated humanitarian response in Nepal.

Please give today to help these local organisations support communities to meet urgent needs and begin the long process of recovery and rebuilding: https://afp.org.au/nepal/fb

Many parents dream of a brighter future for their children.

Abdullah's family are Syrian refugees who arrived in Jordan in 2016 after fleeing war in search of a safe place to belong.

Abdullah has struggled to find reliable work to support his family, and his son recently had surgery to remove a tumour - adding additional financial and emotional pressure.

But the family has recently joined the Forsa program, facilitated by local partner, Department of Service to Palestinian Refugees (DSPR). Forsa means 'opportunity' in Arabic and Abdullah's family are excited to embark on a journey filled with new opportunities — to develop skills, build social connections and become more financially secure.

This transformation is possible thanks to generous Act for Peace supporters and the Australian Government through the Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP).

Last week, the Micah Australia Women’s Network was in Canberra, bringing together Christian women leaders from across Australia to meet with political leaders and make the case for a Safer World for All.

We believe every person deserves peace, dignity and opportunity: the chance to live free from hunger, conflict and fear, and to build a better future.

Act for Peace stands alongside Micah Australia an and Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) through the Safer World for All campaign to build support for Australian aid.

Because caring for our neighbours doesn’t stop at our borders.

Thank you for your generous support following the earthquakes in Venezuela.

Since the earthquakes struck in June, humanitarian partners have reached more than 117,000 people across affected communities providing food, healthcare, clean water and sanitation, shelter, and psychosocial support to families who lost their homes or access to essential services.

Your support is helping make this response possible. Thank you for helping bring food, clean water, shelter and comfort to families in Venezuela when they needed it most.
