Historical Snapshot

Founded with purpose in Jacobabad, Sindh.

Peace by Youth was founded in July 2011 in the District Jacobabad community by a group of young social leaders and peace advocates. Its inception was driven by the urgent need to address social injustice, lack of opportunities for youth, and the need for sustainable development.

Initially, PY focused on engaging young individuals in community development and peace-building activities. These early efforts centered on capacity building and enabling young people to take active roles in shaping their futures and contributing positively to their communities.

Youth at the Core Early focus on youth engagement and capacity building so young people lead change, shape decisions, and strengthen communities.
Growing Impact Expanded from local roots to multi-district and regional programming with deeper community reach.
Partnership-Led Growth Government institutions, civil society networks, and international agencies enabled scale and credibility.
Community Change Built local capacity, reached marginalized rural populations, and advanced inclusive development.
