Overview
Mission
Global Peace Women advances peace by building values-driven models that empower women and families as peacebuilders in communities, nations, and the world. Stories from the field reflect both impact and innovation. Trainers have embraced volunteerism, creatively integrating values education into everyday community life, from organized workshops to informal settings such as weddings and funerals. The emergence of champions like Caroline Muthoni Mbae, a TOT from Embu, Kenya, nicknamed by community members as “Carol wa Values,” highlights the organic growth of the movement, driven by passion, goodwill, and a deep recognition of the urgent need to support families. At the same time, the initiative has navigated real challenges, including limited resources, time constraints, generational gaps in parenting, and complex social issues such as mental he.
