Musicians Without Borders is a nonprofit organization that uses music to support peacebuilding and social change. Founded in the Netherlands as a group of socially engaged musicians, it began by bringing performances, workshops, and instruments to refugee camps and has since expanded its reach to Central America, East Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Based in Amsterdam, North Holland, the organization collaborates with local musicians and partner organizations to bring music to people affected by war, conflict, and displacement. It operates with a relatively small staff. Through partnerships with local artists and organizations, it seeks to mobilize music as a tool for connection and empathy in communities affected by conflict. In November 2025, Musicians Without Borders was recognized with the ELJA Foundation Award 2025.
