World Vision International invites your feedback about the best peacemakers and peacebuilders in the world today. Have your say!
This year's finalists were excellent and all deserve recognition. The awards committee felt that Sembrandopaz excelled in all criteria, and has named the organisation 2014 Peacebuilder of the Year.
Ricardo Esquivia Ballestas, the Executive Director of Sembrandopaz, said:
"The armed conflict and war have robbed millions of children the opportunity to live their childhood.
"Colombia is the only country in the Western Hemisphere that has not made it out of its armed conflict. For these reasons peace is very important for Colombia.
"We are much honored to receive this award and we will gladly accept it on behalf of all members of the community and community leaders with whom we work. It is their work what really moves us towards peace in Colombia."
