Background The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is a Quaker organization that includes people of various faiths who are committed to social justice, peace, and humanitarian service.
AFSC promotes nonviolent approaches to conflict resolution.
As such, we seek to promote the transformation of cultural and societal norms, values, and behaviors to reject violence, with Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, and Stewardship as our values.
Somali Program
AFSC believe that young people can positively transform the prevailing context of violent conflicts in Somalia into a more secure, productive and just places.
Consequently, AFSC is implementing a Peacebuilding program in Somalia targeting the youth, with the approach of empowering them with peacebuilding, leadership, advocacy and livelihood skills.
The livelihood skills are meant to empower them to earn incomes and avoid the vulnerability of recruitment by violent militia groups.
The peacebuilding and leadership skills are to empower them to take leading roles in peace-building activities in their localities.
