Funding disruptions have not stopped our community partners in Nigeria, who've been building their outreach teams' peacebuilding capacity through advanced dialogue training & practice.

Karuna has been able to provide support via mini-grants from our Paula Green Legacy Fund. 2/3

Every day, local peacebuilders around the world are preventing the spread of violence & healing communities on the frontlines of conflict.

The cuts/freeze in US govt funding have disrupted many projects. But we & our partners are sticking together & supporting each other. 🫱🏾‍🫲🏿 1/3
