Stories of hope, impact, and the people building peace across Africa.
Community A devastating fire at Utumishi Girls Academy in Gilgil has claimed 16 young lives. As investigations unfold, Peace League Africa extends its deepest condolences and stands ready to support the community through this unimaginable grief.
Education A single drawing by a boy in Kakuma refugee camp changed how I think about peace education. Three years on, 500 communities have seen classroom violence drop 67%.
Peace From Rwanda to South Sudan, women are the unsung heroes of peace. Here's how a network of grandmothers, mothers, and daughters mediated 8,000 disputes last year alone.
Water Walk six hours for water or send your daughter to school? That was the choice facing families in northern Kenya. Until we drilled 34 boreholes and changed everything.
Youth James was 19 when he walked into our training in Gulu. He'd been a child soldier, and he was full of anger. Today, he's mentored 200 teenagers — and not one has joined an armed group.
Health Dr. Amina drove her mobile clinic into a village where the nearest hospital was 70 kilometers away. A mother was holding a baby who hadn't stopped crying in four days. Then everything changed.
Agriculture One farmer’s journey from losing everything in the worst drought in 40 years to feeding her entire village — with nothing but drought-resistant seeds and stubborn hope.
Emergency A mother walked 12 days through drought-blasted land to reach our relief camp. Her baby hadn’t eaten in three. Here’s how Peace League’s teams delivered hope when the world was slow to show up.
Education Martha wakes at 4:30 AM, walks eight kilometers of rutted dirt, and spends her day doing the hardest work imaginable: teaching people who’ve lost everything how to forgive.
Impact That’s less than dinner for two at a mid-range restaurant. For Amina, it bought school supplies, a uniform, and a reason to get out of bed. Your pocket change? Her entire future.
Partnerships A landmark agreement will bring conflict-resolution skills to 2 million children across 15 countries. Here’s how a single classroom in Kakuma sparked a continental movement.
Community After years in exile, 60,000 South Sudanese returned home in 2025. Most found their villages destroyed. Here's how they're rebuilding — and why staying is the hardest fight of all.
Youth In Kenya's Rift Valley, where ethnic violence has killed thousands, a football league with a radical rule — every team must include three ethnic groups — is changing everything.
Technology In off-grid Kenya, solar-powered computer labs are teaching girls Python, Scratch, and digital entrepreneurship — and shattering every stereotype about who belongs in tech.
Health In eastern DRC, where war has raged for three decades, there are fewer than 100 psychiatrists for 100 million people. A quiet revolution in community-based mental health care is filling the gap.
Peace When armed groups destroyed their village and killed 42 people, the survivors of Bule made a radical choice. They decided to forgive. This is how — and why.
Environment In Kenya's drylands, planting trees did more than fight climate change. It stopped conflicts, restored springs, and gave women a new kind of power.
Community Behind every orphan statistic is a child with a name, a story, and a dream. Our support program is helping 3,000 of them write new chapters.
Impact A tiny loan, a small kiosk, and a wave of transformation. How microfinance is turning women with nothing into entrepreneurs who change everything.
Impact Our annual impact report is in. The numbers are big, but the stories behind them are bigger. Here's what we achieved together in 2025.
