Our Programs:

Dealing with violent extremism, radicalization and the consequences of violent conflict is not only a humanitarian imperative, dealing with the economic, emotional, physical and political consequences are also important because it decreases the risk of the conflict breaking out again. Conflict transformation experts have maintained that dealing with the consequences of violence is the major chance of ‘breaking the conflict trap’. However, it is difficult to imagine peacebuilding in the midst of glaring crisis of whichever kind. Besides the ‘normal’ crisis societies experience after violent conflict, peace building is even a greater challenge when other crisis situations come into play. Societies in conflict situations experience other 

crisis situations like Food Scarcity and lack of medical care, loss of livelihood assets, insecurity and violence, structural inequality, between identity groups and sexes, social and political exclusion.  ​As Young Peace Builders, we believe that peacebuilding is NOT an event that can only happen after conflict as many might think. We are of the firm belief that peacebuilding and community development is  a process that continues before, during and after conflicts.

Conflicts can be prevented, managed and resolved but over the years so much investment has been targeted at resolving instead of prevention. As Young Peace Builders (YPB), we are committed to our Mission and Vision, and in order to achieve our goals in serving humanity for desired impact, our projects are focused towards the following program areas:

> Community Peace-building
> Advocacy & Awareness raising on Human Rights & Security,
> Youth Leadership empowerment & Development Trainings for effective Participation in governance,
​> Awareness raising & Training on Gender equality & Sexual Reproductive Health & Rights,
​> Trainings & Campaigns on Drugs Trafficking, Money-Laundering & Corruption,
​> Awareness raising & training on Nutrition, Early marriage and Teenage pregnancy,
​> Awareness raising & training on HIV & AIDS
​> Agriculture & Livestock
​> Awareness raising & training on Climate Change & Environmental issues
​> Using Culture, Creative Arts, Music & Filming as an effective tool for Peacebuilding, Advocacy and Community development. This also help keeps young people engaged and unearth their hidden talents.  
> Healthy Peace through Sport (Sports4Peace) is an initiative that is expected to sweep through the country and other places when it gains full momentum and with the needed partnerships leaving very positive impact in the lives of people in every community.
> Youth Exchange promotes cross-cultural understanding and we undertake several activities in order to achieve such.
