Peace & Security
Peace and security is a thematic area that focuses on the prevention and resolution of conflicts, the promotion of peace and stability, and ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals and societies. It encompasses both international and domestic efforts to address various forms of violence, including armed conflicts, terrorism, and organised crime.
At its core, through peace and security, Sustainable Jamii aims to create a world where people can live in peace, free from fear and violence — advocating for human rights and administering ways to resolve existing conflicts through peaceful means.
Sustainable Jamii aims to address the concerns of young people who are radicalised to administer violence nationally and regionally by tackling the root causes of conflicts such as poverty, inequality, marginalisation, and political and social grievances. Additionally, we emphasise the importance of justice, accountability, and the rule of law.
This thematic area recognises the interconnectedness between peace, security, and development — understanding that sustainable peace can only be achieved when the underlying violence and conflict are addressed. It emphasises the need for inclusive and participatory approaches that involve all stakeholders.
Children in Conflict-Affected Areas
Sustainable Jamii recognises the importance of context-specific strategies when working in conflict-affected areas. In collaboration with governments, international agencies, and local NGOs, we address the needs of children in these areas effectively.
We focus on ensuring the safety and protection of children by establishing safe spaces and child-friendly zones that work to prevent the recruitment of child soldiers and protect children from violence, abuse, and exploitation.
We have worked hand-in-hand with community health volunteers in public hospitals to provide healthcare services essential in conflict zones where children may be susceptible to injuries, diseases, and malnutrition — setting up and supporting medical facilities to address the health needs of children and their families.
Supporting Refugees
Refugees — forced to flee their home countries due to conflict, persecution, or other crises — require assistance in various areas to ensure their safety, well-being, and successful integration into host communities.
Sustainable Jamii, along with governments and local NGOs, has worked to develop comprehensive strategies and interventions to address the unique challenges faced by refugees — contributing to their protection, well-being, and long-term stability.
We have played a critical role in addressing the root causes of displacement and creating an environment where refugees can live in safety and dignity. We strive to economically empower refugees by enrolling them in TVETs to learn skills that help them in the job market and sustain themselves.
