Africa Youth Ministries will run the 2015 Global Peace Games under the Peace Through Sport Project, an on-going initiative funded by various foreign & local partners.

Celebrating Peace Through Sport: The AYM organised peace games will offer war affected children and youth a rare chance of fun. The children of all ages will enjoy diverse supervised activities including football, volleyball, netball, rope skipping, rope tags, drama, traditional dances like Bwola, Larakaraka, sandcastle building, and peace painting competitions.

Hundreds of war affected children and youth in Northern Uganda will gather in different communities to celebrate peace as they participate in organised soccer activities. The 2010 Global Peace games will be used to empower war affected children and youth to create their own fun filled safe playing spaces and communities by forming partnerships with primary schools, families, and young adult volunteers. Peace Games participants will also be equipped with peace making life skills and values on reconciliation, forgiveness, tolerance, and non-violence

The games began on the 6 April 2015 which was the international Day of Sport for Development and Peace, and they will end on the 21 September 2015 - The international Day of Peace.
