About Us

Quaker Peace Initiatives

QPI was born in September 2014 out of a national network of Quakers working for peace under the auspices of Change Agent Peace Program (CAPP). CAPP is a long held peace caravan that was driven by Quakers and Quaker led organizations around the country that has roots dating back to the early 2000’s) but was registered in January 2016, receiving its certification on the 27th of May 2016 as a Non- Governmental Organization (NGO) involved in peace building in the Quaker fraternity in Kenya who unarguably believe in the Quaker Peace Testimony as edified through the various functions and structures within the Quaker global community.

OUR APPROACH

Quaker Peace Initiatives Kenya applies diverse conflict response mechanisms towards conflict transformation. The diversity of approaches is based on the diversity with Kenya and the premise that conflicts are diverse and hence a monolithic approach might be counterproductive.
