My Story…

Hi friends, family and really anyone who was lucky enough to be sent my fundraising link! This year I am raising funds for PeaceGeeks, a non-profit based in Vancouver that uses technology to promote peace which includes a whole back of cool projects. I couldn't be happier to be a part of their team and I greatly appreciate your contribution to my race! With your help I will be wearing a chicken costume to work if I meet my goal. Thanks so much for your help! -Kate

Description

PeaceGeeks partners with community leaders and organizations to understand the challenges they are facing, and collaborates with these stakeholders to create tech-based solutions that strengthen their efforts for peace and humanitarian action. Our approach is always community-driven — we believe that when communities affected by conflict and displacement have the tools to lead change on the ground, we as a global community can collectively respond to some of the world's biggest challenges.

Since our inception in 2011, PeaceGeeks has managed more than 70 projects in 26 countries and engaged over 1,000 volunteers around the world. Today, our partners include the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), International Criminal Court (ICC), Google, the Government of Canada, and the Province of British Columbia.

While the technical aspects of our projects may be varied, all of our work touches on these areas of focus:

Connecting Communities at Risk
Amplifying Voices for Peace
Strengthening Access to Justice
Engaging Global Citizens
