How your donation will help

Your donation will help implement important activities such as:

・ Promoting self-reliance of the artisanal diamond miners, diggers, and women in Liberia (e.g. capacity development training, coaching and monitoring for mining cooperatives)

・Awareness raising, targeting consumers, jewelers, and other stakeholders in the industry (e.g. holding events, workshops, and lectures, developing awareness tools)

[Note] The cost for promoting self-reliance of miners/diggers outweighs that for awareness raising in JFY2020. The reason the cost for awareness raising outweighs in JFY2019 is that we produced Japanese subtitles for a documentary movie and held our essay competition.

Supporters will Receive

・DFP Official Newsletter “The Journey” (once or twice per year)
・e-newsletters with updates (once in a while)

Melanie St. James, Co-Founder, Empowerment Works

Diamonds for Peace is one of the leading models, doing what this sector can do best – finding what is broken and bridging the gaps to create equity, transparency, and justice.

Mio Harutaka, Jewelry Designer

As a jewelry designer dealing with diamonds, I have had conflicted feelings as I know the toil of laborers and environmental issues associated with diamonds.
I have believed that it is the miners and manufacturers who make natural diamonds shine, and its brilliance gives its owner a sense of richness that will be passed on to future generations. Connecting producers and consumers and being responsible for the inheritance of human wealth should be the mission of the jewelry industry.
I decided to take actions with one step at a time, both as a company and as a designer. I would like to think carefully so that all the people related to my business will be happy and nature will be protected.

Mari Hoshi, CEO, R Jewels Japan Ltd.

Diamond jewelry lasting for a lifetime is a symbol of love, and it will be fostered as a memory over time. I believe that diamond jewelry represents the most beautiful human sensitivity and creativity.
That’s why I support Diamonds for Peace in the hope that the mining process will be transparent and accountable with consideration of human rights and the natural environment.

Messages from Supporters

Jessie Cowley/ Marcus Cowley (U.S.A.)

When my 7-year-old son learned about the children being forced to work in diamond mines, he was very sad and worried for their safety. He wants to do something to help. We searched for a charity that helps those children. Diamonds for Peace is the only one we could find that is trying to improve the situation in those countries, so he is giving his own money for his donation. We pray that the work you are doing will be fruitful and that children will be able to be liberated from forced labor.

Masayoshi Ito (Japan)

I was aware of issues associated with “conflict diamonds” from books and movies, but hadn’t taken any action to address them. Later, when I visited developing countries in Africa and met people who were working to solve the problems, I realized that the world was connected. I support Diamonds for Peace for taking concrete measures.

Yasuo Sumita (Japan)

“Diamonds for Peace.” For a moment, I wondered what it meant. The more I understand the passion and people behind the name, the more I realize that it’s a beautiful name. I hope that the vision will be achieved and I will be able to embrace the sparkles and brilliance of diamonds from the bottom of my heart.
