Who We Are

Kalinaw Greetings!

We are Add Peace Mindanao — a small but determined community of peacebuilders who believe that peace is never too big to build, and never too small to matter.

We are not a distant institution. We are neighbors, volunteers, young people, and communities — Indigenous, Moro, and settler-Christian — choosing, again and again, to add peace where we are.

Founded in 2022 and rooted in the islands and hinterlands of Mindanao, we walk alongside communities through their hardest days and their quiet, hopeful ones. We don't arrive with all the answers. We come to listen, to serve, and to stay.

Peace, to us, isn't a grand event. It's a child reading in a safe room. Clean water in a home. A conversation that turns fear into understanding. A family finding its footing after disaster. These are the small, stubborn acts that, together, change everything.

We are still growing — continuously building our systems, our volunteers, and our partnerships one honest step at a time. But our purpose is steady and clear: to make Mindanao sustainable, just, and at peace for all.

This is who we are. And if you believe peace begins close to home — this is who you are, too.
