That approach was developed over the past 5 yrs by the amazing project team in Protecting our Community Initiative & Empowering Community Security in Nigeria — which includes Karuna, Neem Foundation, @hvcfoundation.bsky.social, Elohim Development Foundation & Voluntary Aid Initiative. #Sthlmforum25

We are co-hosting this session with Neem Foundation, @drcngo.bsky.social & @unidir.org. Karuna's interim executive director Jennifer Hall-Witt & our partner Neem Foundation's director of programmes Ahmad Jumare will highlight the “Peace By Us” approach to community peacebuilding.

This short film made by Rwandan youth tells the story of two people—a survivor & a former perpetrator—who are forging a way toward peace. It was produced with support from @aegistrust.bsky.social during our Healing Our Communities collaboration, 2016-19. 2/2

In our last newsletter, we wrote about the importance of hope as an active, transformative force. This time, we have some results to share from our collaborative efforts to turn that hope into action — through our international work and in the U.S: karunacenter.org/2025/03/31/m...

We're grateful to all the donors to our Paula Green Legacy Fund for supporting solidarity across borders—& to our community partners in Nigeria for their work each day to create a better world for us all. 3/3

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
