Local Non-profit PEACE Needs Your Help

June 15, 2011

Through innovative and community based programs, PEACE is working to improve the quality of life in local communities throughout the Bahía de Banderas. Click HERE to make a donation.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - At PEACE, we know about giving. We're in the giving business. Giving is POWERFUL, in its application and within the giver. It is only with your generosity that we can support local communities, and we'd like to expose you to our immediate needs in order to fulfill our commitment to them.

Help us Stay at our Casa Campesina Headquarters

We have a deadline to build a new roof for our headquarters costing $13,000 USD. The Casa Campesina (farmhouse) has been PEACE's home base for the past three years and was given to us by the local ejido (a native land-owners association.) PEACE has full use of the house in exchange for restorations and we cannot remain here unless we raise $13,000 and repair our leaky roof. Please give whatever you are able and allow us to stay in our community home!

A new roof will provide the necessary dry space for our alternative school, after school program and PEACE Boutique, as well as a usable work space for staff and community members. It is a safe, clean, and friendly environment that adds stability, integrity, and beauty to the Punta de Mita community.

We do not want to uproot our home. Please donate whatever you can by clicking HERE.

Send a Child to Camp

Experiences at summer camp can shape a life from childhood into adulthood. PEACE is creating lifelong memories for kids in the Bahia de Banderas who often grow up too fast, and in many cases have never been on an athletic team, taken an art class or participated in any kind of organized activity. Our camps not only give them that experience, but allow them the freedom (they may otherwise not have) to just be kids! These kids are the FUTURE - help us empower them!

Last year we had 300 campers! Your donation of $75 USD will send one child to camp for 3 weeks, helping them retain knowledge from the school year, and allowing them to experience a SAFE, POSITIVE and FUN summer!

We cannot fund our camps without your support. Please help us provide this experience for local children by donating HERE.

Support our Mobile Classroom

Starting this summer, a traveling classroom will be accompanying our animal clinic to 35 towns! Our fun-loving, bilingual teacher will conduct a literacy-based curriculum about animals and the environment reaching 6,210 kids every year.

In order to educate our youth and continue to spread this powerful message over the course of one year, we need to raise $15,000 USD. Please help us reach our goal by donating HERE.

EVERYBODY can give, and we need everybody! THANK YOU for being a part of our giving team, and experiencing the power of impacting lives in our community.

PEACE, (Protection, Education, Animals, Culture, Environment) established in 2005, is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization made up of three main programs which focus on education, animal well-being, and environmental protection in the Bay of Banderas, Nayarit, Mexico.
