About Us
About Us
Empowering global youth to reimagine resources for peace, education, and environmental protection
MISSION & VISION
MISSION
We connect young leaders across the globe to visualize and advocate for redirecting military spending toward education, healthcare, and environmental sustainability.
Through interactive simulations and global networking, we make abstract military budgets tangible and inspire actionable change for a peaceful future.
VISION
A world where defense budgets become development budgets, where every nuclear test cost becomes a university, where military research funding transforms into climate solutions.
We envision youth-led global networks that influence policy makers to prioritize human development over military expansion.
WHY NOW

Global military expenditure in 2023 - sufficient resources to eliminate poverty worldwide
