Transform It started with a river.

In early 2004, Janessa Gans Wilder, founder of Euphrates, was on a military base outside Fallujah, Iraq, during a major battle between US marines and Iraqi insurgents. Sitting on the bank of the Euphrates river weeks later, she was struck by the calm, uninterrupted flow of the water. With images of the conflict fresh in her mind, she couldnโ€™t imagine how any two scenes could be more different. Yet

, even through downtown Fallujah, the river surged on, untouched and unstopped by the chaos, death, and destruction happening around it, still bringing life, sustenance, and hope to the desert. Since that day, she has tried to fully appreciate that powerful lesson, often wondering how we can be more like the Euphrates river.

The Peace Practice Alliance (PPA) is more than a programโ€”itโ€™s a growing network of peace leaders committed to cultivating peace, transforming conflict, and ending violence in all forms.

After completing the program, participants actively integrate peace leadership lessons and practices learned into their personal and professional lives. To support their work, graduates can apply for seed funding to launch or deepen community initiatives.

Euphrates equips peace leaders with critical funds to lead peacebuilding efforts in their local communities, addressing and transforming root causes of violence and contributing to meaningful change.
