Mission statement
Peaceable Projects Inc. is a new U.S.-based non-profit group that identifies needful projects in the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage network and joins them up with resources and volunteers. We sometimes initiate and execute our own charitable projects as well.
We are not overtly religious, but we are motivated by grace – a Biblical ideal and a living truth – that unconditional love can change the human heart and save a fallen world. We believe the Camino de Santiago is a holy place, and we uphold traditions of hospitality, generosity, and gracious give-and-take that make this Way unique in the world.
Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims travel to Santiago each year, and many of them wish to support the pilgrimage after they return home. Peaceable Projects is their link to dozens of pilgrim-centered charities scattered along the Road.
After a decade of village life and work at the heart of the Camino pathways, Rebekah Scott, an American, and Patrick O’Gara, an Englishman, are uniquely positioned to lead this charitable work.
Peaceable Projects Inc. is incorporated as a non-profit charity in Massachusetts, USA. Contributions to Peaceable Projects are tax-deductible in the United States.
