Jane Munga, Project Amani
member based in the US
(Student & lecturer Uni. Of

received from Kenyans in the
US in recognition of her
inexhaustible efforts in peace
building in Kenya. She is also

Youthful, public
transport motorcyclists
from Nairobi area were
contacted, organized
and mobilized to
spread the peace

through several Nairobi

One of the tools
employed by Project
Amani
to call Kenyans
to peace is a
docudrama based on
the lives of two
Rwandese women
coming to terms with
forgiving the men who
killed their family
members. In the
picture residents of
Kibera
slum watch the
video.

Jane Munga explains to an
older Kibera resident on how
she can sign up on the peace
pledge. The pledge is made
by old and young alike as we are all the beneficiaries
of a more peaceful nation.

A youthful participant at one of
the Project Amani video sessions signs
his name on the pledge form. The forms were later improved so the signer could carry
the pledge as a reminder of their
commitment to peace.

A participant reads the
Project Amani
peace
tract. The tract is
designed to carry a call
to peace and urges the
reader to not only
embrace the message
but to pass it on. Since
participants carry tracts
with them they can pass
the message intact and
as long as the tract is
passed on – it continues
to have impact.

Wallace Kananda, Project Amani’s

Kenyans for Change
had the opportunity to
work with USAID
Kenya via an in‐kind
grant to urge Kenyans
through peace
caravans to maintain
peace prior, during
and after the
referendum (August
4th
2010). The message
was “Vote in Peace,
Live in Peace”
Photo 10The Project Amani
peace
pledge card. It is perforated under a black border with the
signatory keeping the top part to use as a bookmark or
stick by their dressing mirror as a reminder of their pledge. The bottom part is returned
to Project Amani
which inputs it into a database – keeping
track of how many Kenyans have committed themselves to a culture of peace.

A sample of the posters Project Amani
put up at
university campuses to invite
students to the Project’s sessions.
The sessions are free and at the
invitation of the university
administration and a student club or
program.
Photo 12Project Amani’s
logo whose
colours, and their
symbolism, are intentionally
drawn from Kenya’s flag
colours. Black is for the
people, Green is for the
land, Red for the blood shed
for freedom and White is for
peace. Green and black
stripes on the white ribbon
signify peace amongst our
peoples and with our land
(environment). “No More Red “ with a blood
drop coming off the ribbon
reminds Kenyans they do
not need to shed any more
blood to develop our nation.
