Center for

Development & Peace

At the Center for Development and Peace, we’ve seen how transformative mentorship can be. One young woman who joined our program after dropping out of school is now leading community initiatives in her village. Her growth reminds us why we invest in every voice and potential—especially those too often overlooked."

"Every time we run a life skills training or a peer counseling session, we witness subtle but powerful shifts in confidence. Young people come in unsure, curious, sometimes hurt. And they leave asking questions, proposing solutions, supporting one another. That’s why we do this work: to cultivate awareness, resilience, and agency."

Our community outreach through theatre and football has opened spaces we never imagined. We’ve watched people from opposite sides of a conflict laugh together during a performance, or find common purpose on a dusty pitch. Expression heals. Play connects. Our work thrives in these human moments."

"We are proud of how our partnerships have grown. From collaborating with the county government on policy sensitization to joint events with the police, we believe in building bridges that hold—not just in calm, but through tension. Our approach is rooted in listening, accountability, and shared responsibility."

As a women-led organization, we see every day how peer influence can amplify change. Whether it’s a teenage girl advocating for menstrual dignity or a mother championing peaceful conflict resolution, these are the stories that shape our mission. We don’t just talk about participation—we nurture it from within."
