Act for Peace

Act for Peace empowers war-torn communities to reduce poverty, protect refugees and prevent further conflict worldwide. The Christmas Bowl is the annual appeal of Act for Peace. Funds raised through the Christmas Bowl support our project partners who are currently assisting more than one million people in many of the world's worst conflict-affected areas, such as South Sudan, Somalia, the Middle East, Pakistan, Burma and Sri Lanka.

Act for Peace is the international aid agency of the National Council of Churches in Australia and a member of the global ACT Alliance, which works in more than 125 countries worldwide enabling us to respond immediately to emergency situations as they occur.
