Mir Pace International is a Christian-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working in collaboration with the Missionaries of Charity Fathers and various other local and international aid organizations. We welcome and embrace high school student volunteers without regard to race, religion or nationality.

Through our volunteer International High School Student Mission ("IHSM") programs, Mir Pace provides humanitarian aid and development initiatives to children and families throughout the world who are suffering the devastating effects of war, natural disasters, poverty, abuse and abandonment. After a disaster is no longer front-page news, victim children and families in much of the developing world still languish in poverty and squalor, trapped in a daily struggle to survive amid horrible, often inhuman living conditions.

Every disaster disrupts social environments differently according to a wide range of variables. Impacts of disasters on affected populations include severe poverty, death, displacement, impaired health, and loss of purpose. Hope for a peaceful future can only be resolved by a political solution to the root causes of crises. In the interim, humanitarian assistance is necessary to reduce vulnerability, alleviate human suffering, and restore the self-sufficiency and livelihoods of disaster-affected populations. Mir Pace is currently working in the U.S., the village of Tamahú, Guatemala and in Tanzania, East Africa.
