Our Partnership
Meet Cookies for Peace™, a partnership between Roots of Peace’s internationally sourced ingredients and the cooking genius behind Fenix.
How does Roots of Peace source its ingredients? This nonprofit organization helps some of the world’s most vulnerable economies recover after conflict by extracting debris, including land mines, from valuable farmland. This helps individuals and communities revitalize livelihoods and businesses, provides farmers access to resources, builds local capacity, and creates market linkages.
To sweeten this amazing effort, Fenix has transformed those remarkable harvests (e.g., cinnamon, pepper, saffron, and raisins) into delicious cookies, honoring the peace we strive for around the world and in our daily lives.
But this amazing story isn’t quite finished. The last “peace” to add is the music. Fenix brings live-streaming music to a global audience every day, so adding a bit of music is a must. With every purchased cookie box, a song chip has been embedded in the box to play a song of peace.
Featured in the upcoming box, singer/songwriter Judy Collins has taken lyrics from “Song for Sarajevo (I Dream of Peace)” and dedicated her new song to Roots of Peace, which is proud to be the exclusive partner in this entrepreneurial project.
From all of us at Cookies for Peace, thank you for your support. We hope you enjoy the highest-quality spices that have been sourced from former war-torn lands and bring a taste of true peace.
Sincerely,
Laura van Galen, Fenix
