MISSION STATEMENT

PEACE FOR THE CHILDREN FOUNDATION represents the mission of Donald and Lisa Pliner, who, through their foundation, will restore peace in the lives of children who would otherwise be overlooked. The foundation provides charitable grants in support of non-profit organizations that share Lisa Pliner’s belief that, "If a Child could have one day to play like everyone else, children can learn to communicate and play together, no matter religion or race, it can bring peace."

Specifically, PEACE FOR THE CHILDREN FOUNDATION identifies and funds projects that foster peace in the lives of children by eradicating disease, educating, encouraging communication through meaningful play, and providing the groundwork for children to articulate their thoughts and work through their differences; developing a paradigm for problem-solving and peacemaking in the next generation, despite the current injustices that plague so many children will ultimately realize our dream, peace for the children.

"If we are to teach real peace in this world" we shall have to begin with the children" - M.K. Gandhi

2009 FOUNDATION GOAL

Presently, we are excited about the potential of our next playground in Houston, TX to bring laughter and happiness to children who face extraordinary daily challenges in their lives. In addition to this playground, we are also seeking new opportunities to bring peace to children through projects that encourage health, prosperity, and communication in the lives of kids.
