After ten years of building peace in Rwanda, Aegis is being called upon by leaders in government, faith communities and public life in the Central African Republic (CAR), Kenya and South Sudan to bring the experience of our Rwandan staff to help to avert the threat of mass atrocities.
To respond effectively, Aegis needs $5million to establish nationwide peace-building programmes across Kenya, South Sudan and the Central African Republic in 2015. Our immediate need is to raise $1million, to launch the programmes.
If you commit to a monthly donation for Aegis today, the Pears Foundation will match your first year’s contribution, so that brave people working to stop hatred in these three countries can get the urgently needed support they’ve asked us to give them.

Why peacebuilding is needed
In this 14-minute film, leaders from countries in crisis explain why their communities need the peace-building model which has been developed in Rwanda by the Aegis Trust.

In 2015, Aegis brought the testimony of Rwandan genocide survivors to the Bangui Forum for National Reconciliation, which involved the government and leadership from a wide range of stakeholders across CAR. As part of a peacebuilding partnership in CAR which includes Catholic Relief Services (CRS), World Vision and Islamic Relief, Aegis’ focus in CAR is firmly on peace-building education.
