Programs & Events
Our planned work
Planned activities that turn our objectives into practical community engagement – through dialogue, learning, and community action.
Our focus begins in Sierra Leone, with a long-term vision for Africa. Programs will be developed in stages, guided by community needs and available resources. Everything on this page is planned or proposed and has not yet taken place.
Peacebuilding
Purpose: to promote peaceful communities by encouraging dialogue and peaceful ways to resolve disagreements before they lead to violence, and to encourage respectful discussion, careful sharing of information, and messages that support unity.
Planned activities
- Peace education and communication – learning sessions and public messages on peaceful disagreement, respectful communication, and checking information before sharing.
- Peace summits and youth forums – online and community gatherings where young people discuss shared challenges and agree on practical next steps.
Who it aims to serve
Young people, community leaders, women, and people from different faiths, backgrounds, and abilities.
Youth Leadership
Purpose: to help young people develop the confidence, skills, and responsibility to serve their communities, and to create opportunities for young people, women, and persons with disabilities to help shape community decisions.
Planned activities
- Youth mentorship and leadership – connecting young people with mentors and practical learning opportunities in leadership, teamwork, and community service.
- Youth participation – encouraging young people to take part in community decisions.
- A small pilot activity – the first-year plan proposes beginning a small mentorship or volunteer activity shaped by local needs.
Who it aims to serve
Young people and youth leaders, with opportunities for women and persons with disabilities to take part in shaping community decisions.
Community Dialogue
Purpose: to build trust across differences by bringing people from different faiths, backgrounds, and generations together through respectful conversation.
Planned activities

Who it aims to serve
Youth, community and faith leaders, community representatives, and people whose voices are often overlooked.
