Instruments of Peace is an initiative led by Maestro Diego Carneiro and partners, bringing quality instruments and music education opportunities to underserved and conflict-affected communities. Music becomes not only a source of healing, but also a path to empowerment and peacebuilding for youth.
To make this project sustainable, we have set a fundraising goal of $50,000 USD. These funds will cover:
Donations & Procurement – acquiring and shipping instruments where they are most needed
Repairs – restoring gently used instruments to professional quality
Music Education Classes – creating access to structured lessons and workshops
Supporting Youth & Communities – turning at-risk hours into rehearsal hours, and building safe, creative spaces for young people
Facility Rent – securing a home base where students can learn, rehearse, and grow through music
In addition, we are planning a documentary film to share the journey of Instruments of Peace—telling the stories of the youth, the communities, and the global network of supporters who make this vision possible.
Your support keeps the music alive and ensures that Instruments of Peace continues to grow, inspire, and transform lives.
