The Peace and Prosperity Initiative (PPI) is a women-led, youth-driven community-based organization legally registered in Kenya and operating in Moyale Sub-County, Marsabit County, along the Kenya–Ethiopia border. PPI is rooted in the story of its founder, a woman born of two clashing communities, who grew up witnessing hostility, exclusion and the painful consequences of inter-ethnic conflict. Having faced adversity first-hand, she understood from an early age the urgent need to bridge divisions, empower women and young people, and build peace from the ground up. In 2021, her personal journey of resilience and reconciliation inspired her to bring together professional youths from diverse ethnic backgrounds. United under her vision, they dared to dream of a different future for Northern Kenya, one rooted in peace, inclusion and sustainable development. That founding story remains the heartbeat of PPI's mission today. Since its establishment, PPI has worked tirelessly to create spaces where women and youth, groups too often marginalized in decision-making, take active leadership in shaping peace, dignity and prosperity in their communities. We believe sustainable development and lasting peace can only be realized when women and young people are included as central actors in both peacebuilding and livelihood enhancement.
