Our vision is to empower communities to:

• Prevent violent conflict
• Non-violently resolve conflict
• Build a culture of non-violence
• Move towards reconciliation

This vision is implemented through our three principal activities: peace education, research and non-violent action.

Shalom’s focus is on the Great Lakes region with the expectation of expanding to the entire African continent. Shalom seeks to partner with development organizations that are active in these countries, equipping their staff with the ability to train others in peace principles. Organizations interested in being trained in peace principles must please contact Shalom for further information.
