Global Peace Hut
Global Peace Hut develops community building initiatives in countries
where poverty is endemic and violence the norm; where the sense of
community has eroded through a multitude of interconnected social
problems, including HIV/AIDS. Our current opportunity is in East Africa .
Here needs are extremely high and resources almost non-existent. While
massive change is required at an institutional level for civil society to
advance, lack of it does not preclude a change initiative from having
profound and transformative effect on a personal and community level.
Global Peace Hut is invested in planting the seeds of change on a personal
and community level. In the process of learning the tools of peacemaking
and peacebuilding, people begin to heal from their trauma and
interpersonal violence is reduced. What is meant here by violence is the
destruction of another human being – physically, psychologically and
spiritually.
People in East Africa have told us they are ready for change. Parents and
teachers want to create a different future for the children. They want to
create a society where there is a new definition and practice of what it
means to be a leader. The time is very good to begin a change initiative
with a different focus – one that is empowering of all members of the
community; one that inspires people to dream: of becoming peacemakers.
