FPFK MUHORONI PEACE RESILIENCE PROGRAM

FPFK MUHORONI PEACE RESILIENCE PROGRAM

Project Target Participants

The peace program focuses mainly on the main conflict actors (perpetrators) and the survivors of violent conflicts. These are mainly youths that are warriors or morans and victims or survivors, women that are survivors, and also perpetrators. Children are also an important target as we want to tackle the root causes of conflict, breaking intergenerational cycles of conflict by challenging the narratives, myths, and prejudices passed onto children. Children are also presumably important as those most vulnerable.
