The PEaCE Organization has provided an exceptional service in the Kalutara District by empowering communities and stakeholders to prevent child sexual abuse and exploitation. Through their partnership with the Department of Probation and Child Care Services, PEaCE has strengthened village-level Child Development Committees, trained principals, teachers, and officers, and inspired children’s active participation through Child Societies and Councils. Their efforts have not only raised awareness but also built community responsibility to identify and report child rights violations — creating a safer, more protective environment for children.
