About us
Tunakujali is a Community-Based Organization driven by a deep understanding of the urgent need for peace and stability in our community. We recognize the challenges—rising tensions, conflict, and divisions—that threaten to disrupt the harmony we hold dear. At Tunakujali, we go beyond acknowledging the problem; we take deliberate, actionable steps to address it.
Through innovative peace-building strategies and sustainable solutions, we work hand in hand with the community to foster understanding, unity, and resilience. We create platforms for dialogue, bridge divides, and empower individuals—especially the youth—to become champions of peace in their neighborhoods.
Our mission is to pave the way for a future where harmony thrives, even in the face of adversity. By nurturing peace and promoting inclusive collaboration, we are building a strong, resilient foundation that ensures our community’s legacy of unity, stability, and hope endures for generations to come.
