Established in 2000, the Peace Appeal Foundation was co-founded and mandated by five Nobel Peace Laureates, Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, F.W. de Klerk, Mairead Maguire and Adolfo Esquivel. The founders' vision is to build a culture of peace and non-violence for the children of the world. The foundation supports local, national and international stakeholders in their efforts to create and sustain peace and dialogue processes to transform or prevent violent conflict and build the foundations for a just and durable peace.
