Center for Peacebuilding

After an incredible 15 days with the Center for Peacebuilding, CIM is offering Village Harmony the chance for Village Harmony to make a lasting impact! There is no set goal for this fundraiser, so feel free to donate any amount! $700 will get the Peace Farm an electric fence for the sheep, and raising $3,000 would get us new computer technology! Any donation makes a difference!

Located in Northwestern Bosnia-Herzegovina, Sanski Most is a town that is recovering from the scars of war and has no organized space for cultural and community development.

The Peace Embassy will emphasize education, while also including tourism and business/community services to support embassy activities. read updates from the field
