PEACE FOR PEOPLE

What PEACE FOR PEOPLE does

Peace for People (P4P) is a Nepal-based non-profit foundation established in 2009 that operates a four-pillar community development framework termed the "4E" model: Education, Empowerment, Equality, and Environment. The organization is headquartered in Koteshwor, Kathmandu, with operational programs concentrated in rural districts of Dhading and Kavrepalanchowk, serving children from marginalized and earthquake-affected communities, women aged 25-40, youth, gender and sexual minorities, and rural communities facing environmental degradation. Core program offerings include school construction, scholarship grants, educational materials distribution, women and youth empowerment workshops, gender equality advocacy, environmental conservation training, the signature 10-day MasterPeace Walk Nepal cultural exchange, the Humanity Act disaster response initiative, and the Global Classroom virtual exchange connecting Nepali students with international peers.

Rather than building a proprietary technology platform, the organization relies on community-led engagement methodologies, including play-based learning, virtual classroom exchanges, and Safe Learning Spaces programming. Operations are delivered through a core team of approximately 12 staff (Executive Director, Development Director, District Coordinator, Program Officer, mentors, field coordinators, and community facilitators) supported by over 500 national and international volunteers and a six-member Board of Directors led by founder Santosh Bidari.

As a non-profit foundation, Peace for People generates no revenue from product or service sales. Funding derives from individual donations, child sponsorship programs, project sponsorship, in-kind material donations, talent donations from professional volunteers, and supporter-hosted fundraising events. The organization discloses an 80/20 fund allocation model (80% to mission programs, 20% to administration and fundraising) and references external financial audits. Distribution occurs through the Kathmandu office, international bank-transfer donation channels (Prabhu Bank), and direct field operations across at least nine districts.
