Amani Kibera

Amani Kibera is a non-profit, non-governmental, youth-led Community-Based Organization which came into existence in October 2007, during the tensest political campaigns in the Kenyan history. The organization was founded on the principle of non-violence by four members who later brought on board other CBOs, youth groups, religious institutions and NGOs to form a network of community peacemakers. We aim at Increasing options, molding right attitudes, choices, and capacities for youth to enhance participation in violence prevention and peacebuilding via recreational activities and education in Kibera. Our MISSION is to use integrated actions to improve the conditions of the Kibera community through facilitating initiatives and partnerships that promote peaceful co-existence, health, education, and livelihood opportunities for children, youth and other marginalised groups via capacity building, information dissemination, and promotion of value-based sport and cultural interaction for development.
