Amb. Kingsley Amafibe has launched an initiative, DavDan Peace and Advocacy Foundation, to drive peace in Nigeria.
The Foundation is poised to become a catalyst for positive change and a lasting legacy of peace and reconciliation for generations to come.

He expressed gratitude to the distinguished guests at the launch event, sponsors, and volunteers, who have pledged their commitment to the cause of peace and urged them to remain steadfast in their dedication to making a positive difference in the world.
In an era marred by conflicts and discord, the pursuit of peace has never been more critical. Amidst the chaos, community-led initiatives stand as beacons of hope, illuminating the path towards reconciliation and harmony.
These grassroots efforts not only foster education and offer scholarships but also drive peace through tangible actions in local neighbourhoods.
At the heart of the initiatives lies a profound commitment to education. By promoting access to learning and providing scholarships, communities empower their members to transcend barriers and embrace knowledge.
This investment in education not only equips individuals with the tools to succeed but also instills values of tolerance and understanding, laying the foundation for peaceful coexistence.
Moreover, community-led initiatives actively engage in peacebuilding through multifaceted approaches.
From organising dialogue sessions to implementing development projects, these efforts address the root causes of conflict and promote reconciliation.
By fostering collaboration and inclusivity, communities become active agents of change, transforming strife-torn areas into thriving hubs of unity and cooperation.
Crucially, the grassroots endeavours serve to raise awareness and inspire future generations to champion peace. By documenting and preserving stories of peacebuilding and community development, these initiatives ensure that the lessons learned are not forgotten.
Through storytelling and shared experiences, communities ignite a collective passion for peace, inspiring individuals to take proactive steps towards building a better world.
