Support Diamonds for Peace
Diamonds for Peace (DFP) strives to create a world where diamonds are mined, cut, and processed with humanitarian and environmental considerations. We support artisanal diamond workers by helping them gain financial autonomy through education and training among other activities. DFP also encourages the diamond industry and diamond consumers to make ethical and responsible decisions for producing, selling and purchasing diamonds.
In April 2022, as part of our support for the artisanal diamond mining communities in Liberia, we implemented a training program to improve their knowledge of the basics of rough diamond grading and valuation.
“I had no idea that diamonds would be processed and turn to be expensive jewelry.” -Victoria
“I thought inside diamonds was water.” -Morris
“I didn’t know red diamonds were rarer. I was selling them for almost nothing. I feel like fainting now….”- Mariama
Surprisingly enough, most artisanal diamond miners and diggers who participated in the training did not know the “value of diamonds”. However, such knowledge is essential for negotiating fair prices.
“I learned to understand how people calculate the price of diamonds.” -Victoria et al.
“Now I can negotiate fair prices with supporters/brokers.” -Mariama et al.
They became more hopeful about their future after the training.
Estimates are that around a 100,000 artisanal miners and diggers in Liberia are equally as unaware of diamond values.
With your support, DFP can provide crucial knowledge to more diamond miners and diggers in Liberia so they can earn what they deserve from their hard labor. Would you join us as supporters and help us make a change together?

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. |
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. |

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. |
