Mission Statement
Peace through Music International (also known as The Shropshire Music Foundation) transforms the lives of war impacted children and adolescents through locally-run, youth-led music education programs. As the refugee crisis around the globe hits unprecedented levels, the Peace through Music International is striving to improve the lives of some of the world’s most vulnerable citizens through music. Since 1999, the organization has brought its programs to 20,000 children and taught 95,000 classes.
