Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world

Teach Peace Development, a Canadian not-for-profit organization, is built upon the belief that no child should be subjected to child exploitation and that targeted education can break this cycle. Leveraging the international experience of some of our team members and the specialized educational training of others, we are committed to developing a robust curriculum that empowers educators and their home communities. By equipping those in direct contact with children—teachers and community leaders—with knowledge and practical tools, we aim to contribute to the prevention of child exploitation in meaningful and sustainable ways.

Inspired by children’s rights, Teach Peace Development strives to empower children and communities to identify and resist the risks of child exploitation through collaborative, targeted education and the delivery of professional development training for teachers and child advocates globally.

Our classroom kits will include a Teacher's Manual, a children's book titled- Akiki's Journey and the Rights of the Child, pencil colours, and writing material for the children. It will be a kit that stays with the the classroom teacher who has completed the professional development training.

Akiki's Journey and the Rights of the Child was created in pursuit of providing educational resources for African teachers and their students to bring awareness to these risks and realities. The following fictional story highlights Akiki's journey of recruitment, becoming a child solider in Uganda, and his rehabilitation. The story is underscored by themes of friendship, hope and belonging. Our vision is that this book can be used across cultures and contexts to bring awareness for those children most at risk.
