We Are Here to Grow Sustainable Peace
We know our individuality is interrelated and interconnected, so is our peace. In the words of Lao Tzu, there cannot be peace in the world unless there is peace among nations, there cannot be peace among nations unless there is peace in nations, there cannot be peace in Nations unless there is peace in the city, there cannot be peace in the City unless there is peace among neighbours, there cannot be peace among neighbours unless there is peace in the home, there cannot be peace in the home unless there is peace in the heart.
The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something

FOUNDERWhat Make Us Different
Empowering Youth Through Mentorship
REFOP’s mentoring programme equips young people with leadership, emotional intelligence, and conflict-resolution skills. By connecting them with role models, we help shape responsible citizens who become peace ambassadors in their schools, homes, and communities.
Promoting Peace Education and Awareness
Through seminars, peace clubs, school outreaches, and advocacy campaigns, REFOP raises awareness about nonviolence, tolerance, and unity. These educational initiatives challenge harmful narratives and promote peaceful coexistence among diverse groups.
Strengthening Communities with Grassroots Engagement
REFOP works directly within communities, training local peacebuilders and organizing dialogues to prevent conflict. By addressing local issues with local solutions, we foster understanding, healing, and long-term harmony.
Championing Policy Change and Institutional Support
Beyond community work, REFOP engages with government bodies, civil society, and international organizations to advocate for policies that support peace, justice, and inclusive development—ensuring peacebuilding is prioritized at every level.
