Peace Winds is an international NGO founded in 1996.
The name of our organization originated from our previous experience in Kurdistan, Iraq as “peace winds” are, in fact, the “winds of peace” revealing the delighted arrival of spring so we can forget all about conflicts and hardships.
First we were only three to found the organisation but now keep expanding. We are going to continue to respond to humanitarian crises around the world and save lives without hesitation and with our motto of “providing the necessary support to those in need” in our hearts at all times. We’d be honored if we could have you on our journey.
