Cord is a peacebuilding charity working with people and communities affected by violent conflict in Africa and Asia. Established in 1967 and located in Leamington Spa, UK, Cord works by "carrying out practical work relieving poverty and promoting social cohesion to build peace, working with people and communities of all faiths or none".[1]

Peacebuilding projects include water and sanitation, education, women's empowerment[2] and capacity building.

The organisation currently works in Burundi, Cambodia, Chad, Laos[3] and Myanmar[4] combining its efforts with the support of individuals, schools, churches, trusts, companies, the British Government, the European Union and the United Nations.
