The Janam Peace Building Foundation

Providing wilderness experiences for youth in Kenya that are designed to resolve conflict and promote reconciliation, security and peace.

The Need for Janam Peacebuilding Foundation:

The disputed Presidential elections in Kenya in December 2007 ignited a wave of post election violence rooted in distrust of the central government and tribal loyalty gone awry. This short but horrific response to the election results claimed over 1,600 lives, displaced over 650,000 people from their homes and disrupted community, government and business interests. We believe that educating our youth can significantly lower the chances of such violence ever happening again.
