Introduction
|
|
Pwani for Peace (P4P) is a registered
community support and development organization based in Mombasa. It is
an initiative of local professionals, business people, religious
leaders, women and youth leaders. The organization is non political and
non profit making.
The conflicts that followed the December
2007 general elections generated great animosity and suspicion among
communities who reside in this region. The resultant resentments and
misgivings have made life difficult within neighborhoods that had
hitherto co-existed peacefully. In numerous instances, neighbors have
opted to part company and relocated to areas adjacent to “their
people”. The situation if left unattended could degenerate to a wide
scale community conflict with far reaching consequences.
P4P was purposely initiated to address
pertinent community issues to ensure peaceful and harmonious
co-existence among the different Pwani communities. As you are already
aware, the coastal region of Kenya is home to almost all the tribes of
Kenya not to mention the numerous global visitors and holiday
makers who frequent this region seasonally. It is therefore
imperative that concerted efforts are made to support all initiatives
that promote peace and community cohesiveness to ensure sustainable
socio-economic development in this region. |
