About us
United for Peace Kenya is a non-governmental peace foundation established in 2023 with a simple but powerful mission: to build a safer, more united society through awareness, dialogue, and collaboration. We believe that peace is not just the absence of conflict, it's the presence of trust, justice, and shared understanding.
Our Mission
To foster peace and prevent crime by building bridges between the public and the police, amplifying community voices, and promoting responsible digital citizenship.
Our Vision
A peaceful, informed, and united Kenya where communities and law enforcement work together in trust and mutual respect.
Our Approach
We believe peace is built through awareness, dialogue, and empowerment. We raise public understanding of crime and justice, create safe spaces for community police engagement, and equip young people with tools to lead change, both in their neighborhoods and online.
"At United for Peace Kenya, we believe that peace begins with us; through the everyday actions we take, the conversations we start, and the unity we build. Founded in 2023 as a non-governmental initiative, this platform was created to respond to the growing need for dialogue, awareness, and collaboration in addressing crime and violence, especially among our youth. As the founder, I’ve witnessed both the struggles and the strength within our communities. This website is a call to action, not just to highlight challenges like cybercrime and insecurity, but to encourage positive engagement between the public and the police, promote responsible use of digital spaces, and give a voice to those working toward lasting peace. We aim to use education, storytelling, and digital outreach to make peace not just a goal, but a shared practice. Together, we can build a Kenya where justice, accountability, and understanding shape our future. I invite you to walk this path with us because peace isn't passive, it's a commitment."
Emmanuel Kigen
Founder, United for Peace Kenya
we are driven by the belief that peace is not just the absence of conflict, it is the presence of justice, dialogue, and shared responsibility. Our commitment is rooted in bringing together diverse voices from communities, law enforcement, youth, and digital spaces to build mutual trust and long lasting unity. We actively support initiatives that encourage respect, accountability, and positive engagement, especially where mistrust and fear have taken root. Whether online or on the ground, we work to bridge gaps, challenge harmful narratives, and promote safer, more connected communities across Kenya. Through every campaign, collaboration, and conversation, we remain dedicated to a Kenya where peace is nurtured by all, and unity becomes a shared way forward.
What We Believe In
At United for Peace Kenya, we believe in the power of people coming together, listening to one another, and working as partners to create a peaceful and just society. We believe that every community deserves safety, every voice deserves to be heard, and every young person should have the chance to lead positive change. Our work is grounded in respect, dignity, and accountability, both in public spaces and online. We believe that policing should be transparent and community driven, that the public and the police are stronger when they work together, and that peaceful expression must always be protected. Above all, we believe that unity is not a destination, but a daily effort, one that begins with awareness, is sustained by collaboration, and grows through trust.
