Astrid Engels for War Child
War is no place for a child. Never! Yet millions of
children are victims of the violence of war,
abuse and neglect. War Child helps these children
to regain their self-confidence, to express them-
selves, be happy, to make contact with others so
that their inner conflict can cease and they can
again play, dream, laugh, and grow like a normal
child and become the person they want to be, a
strong adult without violence, in peace.
‘The peace carpet has been a way for people to
contribute their bit to peace. It is very special to
see how the carpet has grown in the past few
years. It consists of more than one hundred me-
ters of creativity, drive and thoughts of peace.
Each in his own way.
Everyone has the same goal: Peace for Everyone.
And that fits well with the mission of War Child.
How wonderful that you can help us with
this project.
Judith Bouwman, Project Coordinator War Child

‘Since everything in life is connected,
including people, it is obvious that we
bear a responsibility for each other.’
It is with this thought that ‘The
Peace Carpet’ came into existence.
In the end, everyone wants peace,
right? How nice it would be if every-
one could express this thought and
illustrate it on a piece of cloth.
Since 2007, the carpet has united
young and old. More than 2000 people
including artists have cooperated on
this project.
With the purchase of the carpet you
can help support the work of War
Child and thus contribute a small bit
of peace in the world.
25% of the profit will go to the non-
profit Zonneglossis Foundation for
future projects.
