Explore Our Peace Building
At Services Along the Nile International Ethiopia, our Peace Building Program promotes peaceful coexistence, reconciliation, and restorative justice across communities in Nono and Abeshge. The program equips communities with tools and structures to manage disputes without violence, fostering long-term stability and social cohesion.
By strengthening traditional and religious mediation systems, such as Aba Geda, and supporting local peace structures, the program creates self-sustaining community institutions. Over time, these practices reduce local conflict and serve as a model for peace and stability across the region.
