Right now, children are vulnerable and at risk. We must do our part and protect ALL children. Psalm 31:8 Open your mouth for those with no voice

. It is when men and young boys in a community rise up and take initiative to protect the dignity and worth of women and girls by shifting their perspectives, taking steps toward their own healing, countering the complexities of their culture and breaking generational trends that we can truly effect change and work toward building the beloved community.- The Mending Peace

We’re making progress toward the fight against violence toward women and girls through a new programme developed in partnership with the Husband School in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱. Women and young girls in the region will benefit from having better access to social welfare, protection, justice, & health services.

One in three women across the world experience violence or assault. In Sierra Leone, the routes to justice are complicated. Many women can’t afford to make the trip to the police station, or don’t even have the support of their family to make an allegation.

At the husband school in Sierra Leone, FINE SALON (Fambul Initiative Network for Equality Sierra Leone) brings together a community of men for a series of workshops to discuss healthy relationships, laws against violence and conflict resolution.. Learn more about our partners and the phenomenal work that they’re doing.

Happy International Day of Peace!
As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr once said, peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal!

We hope that you will join us on this journey of aiding in the healing and reconciliation of communities in the US and abroad!
