Where
we work

Fight for Peace has Academies in Rio and London and is present in over 25 countries via our Alliance of partner organisations.

Fight for Peace supports young people at Academies in Rio de Janeiro and London. Our first Academy opened in 2000 in Complexo da Maré, a complex of favelas in Rio de Janeiro’s North Zone. This was followed in 2007 with the opening of our London Academy in Newham, East London.

 

The Fight for Peace Alliance currently works in 26 countries. Our network of partner organisations are all aligned in their use of boxing and martial arts combined with personal development and education to enable young people to reach their potential.
