Form local chapters throughout the world that meet regularly
to discuss how we can all live together in peace. We believe that the best
way to accomplish freedom, human rights, brotherhood, and peace is through
open dialogue where individuals meet and gets equal opportunity to express
thoughts, and initiate projects. Locals are aware of their needs and
infrastructure literacy, poverty, water & food requirements, community
issues, etc. They are best fitted to sponsor projects that meet their local
needs.

Kenya.
We have had
great success in Kenya. In 2012, we initiated a peace chapter with just ten
charter-members in Nairobi, Kenya. Today, that chapter has expanded to over 135
members in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi in East Africa. The members in
Burundi are very busy preaching peace among their communities. Another one of
our projects in Kenya was to support Sima Community Based Organization in
Kitale region that cares for orphans and promotes literacy.

How to support peace in the Middle East?
Our success
in the Middle East has been limited for the governments are either
authoritarian or suspicious of international NGO’s activities. We have received
numerous requests from individuals in Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and other countries
in the region, the initiatives faced obstacles in forming chapters. However, we
provide support and training to interested individuals to form whatever group
they can get together to promote peace and still meet governmental approval.
