Our Story
Re-Imagining New Communities is a leading peacebuilding and communication organization based in Kenya.
Since the start of our work in 2020, we have made a significant impact on the communities we have worked with through targeted interventions in peacebuilding, conflict transformation, and community engagement.
In the educational sphere, the implementation of learning workshops and exchanges has led to increased school engagement among children who have experienced violence, manifesting in improved attendance, participation, and academic performance. This underscores the organization’s success in creating a more supportive learning environment for these vulnerable learners.
Beyond academic achievements, our focus on emotional well-being has resulted in enhanced resilience among both children and teachers. Evidence points to improved coping mechanisms and psychological outcomes, contributing to a healthier and more conducive educational setting. Additionally, community dialogues and forums have played a crucial role in strengthening social bonds, reducing incidents of violence, and fostering a more harmonious community. This showcases the organization’s holistic approach in addressing the broader impact of violence on the well-being of individuals and communities.
The institutional transformation within primary schools is another noteworthy impact, with the implementation of peacebuilding strategies and setting peace labs in more than 15 primary schools in Nairobi, Kakamega, Vihiga, Kajiado, and Uasin Gichu counties, leading to safer and more nurturing environments. Disciplinary issues related to violence have seen a decline, contributing to an overall positive school climate. Lastly, our emphasis on democracy and community engagement is empowering future leaders by instilling a sense of civic responsibility in children. This long-term impact is vital for creating a generation that actively participates in community-building activities, ultimately contributing to a socially conscious and empowered society.Â
