“Peace is a humble path. Let’s walk it together"

This is the theme of the Tents campaign, guided by the intention by Pope Leo XIV, who, during an audience with Italian bishops last June, observed:

“Peace is not a spiritual utopia: it is a humble path, made up of daily gestures that interweave patience and courage, listening and action, and which demand today more than ever our vigilant and generative presence.”

Your donation will help support peace projects that concretely nurture hope for children and young people, women and men, families and communities in the Ukraine, and for children in Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria.
