Promoting Peace. Changing Lives.
International Peace Initiatives envisions a world where violence, poverty and disease no longer exist and every individual lives in dignity and with integrity. Specifically, IPI builds a new generation of leaders through peace and ethical leadership programs, and provides orphans, women living with HIV/AIDS, survivors of violence, and communities with the tools and resources to move from violence, poverty, and crisis to stability and self-reliance, thereby building resilient communities.
About Us
Our Mission
The mission of International Peace Initiatives is to promote cultures of peace by supporting sustainable initiatives that improve livelihoods and enhance quality of life. IPI-U.S. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that helps fund, and gives advice and technical assistance to IPI-Kenya, which runs all operations in Meru, Kenya.
Our Mindset
IPI raises kids to thrive, not just survive.
Children at IPI are taught to become ethical leaders in Kenya and beyond; to be ethical global leaders, to grow the economy, and to care for their families. The Kithoka Amani Children's Home's location and grounds serve as a gathering place for training and empowerment programs for members of the community, so the children are raised in a very collaborative environment. The elders who influence IPI provide roots and as little disruption to the children's lives as possible.
Our Approach
Peacebuilding
Participatory and holistic approach to development and peacebuilding.
Leadership
We do not teach our children to believe in us. We teach them to believe in themselves.
Equality
Promoting equality, equity, and justice with equal emphasis on human rights, children's rights and women's rights.
Sustainability
We embrace practices that enhance environmental, social and economic sustainability
