Understanding Our Mission
Welcome to the Desktops for Peace charity website, where we are committed to fostering peace through education and community support. Our primary focus is on the initiatives of Abuna Elias Chacour, a renowned figure in the peace movement and a three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee. His lasting impact on the largest Christian community in Israel inspires our efforts to promote his vision.
Our Commitment to Abuna Elias Chacour
In the south-west of England, particularly near Plymouth, our charity has been actively working to regenerate and enhance the support that has been vital to the Mar Elias Educational Institutions (MEEI). This remarkable establishment has flourished under Abuna Elias’s guidance, offering various educational opportunities for children and students of all races and faiths. From kindergarten to university, MEEI has consistently pursued excellent academic progress within a context that promotes living together in harmony.
Our Future Goals
In an extraordinary general meeting held in October 2024, our remaining trustees unanimously agreed to continue and amplify our mission for peace. We believe that by supporting the educational endeavours at MEEI, we are contributing significantly to the peacebuilding efforts championed by Abuna Elias. With your help, we aim to expand our outreach and effectiveness in fostering an environment where everyone, regardless of background, can thrive in pursuit of knowledge and mutual respect.
