Pax in Terra
Pax in Terra was started by the founders of Vita Nuova to help the more than 1 billion people who wake up every morning not knowing where their next meal will come from achieve Sustainable Human Development. While only in its infancy, we hope that as Vita Nuova grows the knowledge and resources can be shared with those in need around the world.
Pax In Terra is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the dignity of the human person through the development of sustainable communities.
Pax in Terra aims to help disadvantaged communities adapt to the impacts of global climate change and other environmental challenges by creating a voluntary network of technical experts in sustainable development that support projects around the world. The organization provides monetary support and other resources for the revitalization of these communities and creates educational forums where best practices can be communicated and shared with communities, non-profit organizations and governmental entities.
