Global Peace Mission (GPM)  is a non-governmental organisation officially  formed in 2001 in response to humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.  But prior to the official formation, for more than two decades and under various names, GPM has provided emergency assistance to various communities in South-east Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, Middle East,  Africa and Eastern Europe. GPM has extended various assistance to communities in more than 20 countries such as Afghanistan, Albania,  Bosnia Herzegovina, Cambodia, Chechnya, Indonesia, Iraq, Laos, Kashmir, Kosovo, Lebanon, Myanmar, Pakistan, Palestine, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Thailand,  Timor Leste, and  Uzbekistan.

Over the years, GPM slowly evolves to become an international relief and development organisation  working to alleviate human suffering among the world’s poorest and most needy communities, regardless of race, creed, gender, nationality or political inclination. Although the main focus of GPM is at the international level, it also realises that quite a number of local communities are in need of some kind of assistance. Thus GPM also carries out a few local programs such as a community development project in Sarikei Division, Sarawak.

Through generous donation from the public, GPM has been able to provide help to thousands of people in many communities around the world. Besides maintaining our own offices, GPM also works in partnership with local community-based organisations. The latter approach is not  only cost-effective, but also instrumental in building the capacity of local people to help themselves.

GPM is a founding member of  Union of NGOs of the Islamic World (UNIW) based in Istanbul, Turkey. In 2006, GPM was appointed to head the Social, Humanitarian and Solidarity Commission of  UNIW. Additionally, as a recognition  of its role in humanitarian work, the Secretary General of the Organisation of Islamic Conference admits GPM as  a member of  OIC Humanitarian Forum (OICHF).
