Unlike traditional diplomacy or military peacekeeping, our approach is to strengthen local peace structures and address issues of violence and social injustice nonviolently by building network of community peacebuilders who will promote ethical standards, effective/efficient governance and encourage grassroots development, bind, bond and bridge communities through interfaith/intercultural dialogue actions & cooperation as basis for our interventions.
