View Project →Land of Peace Center for Development & Human Rights
Building Peace. Empowering Communities. Protecting Human Rights.
Since 2014, we have worked directly with Jordanian communities to transform conflict into lasting peace, empower groups most vulnerable to abuse, strengthen local governance and defend human rights — grounded in evidence, partnership and rapid response.
Who We Are
An independent Jordanian center building peace from the ground up
Land of Peace Center for Development and Human Rights was founded in 2014 by a group of ambitious young Jordanians with deep roots in the development field. What began as a response to gaps in community peacebuilding and gender-based-violence prevention has grown into a qualified, field-tested team working across Jordan. We intervene directly, respond rapidly to community needs, and build every program on evidence, participation and continuity — guided by our Strategic Plan for 2024–2027 and grounded firmly in the Jordanian context.
