Promoting Peace
Peace is more than the absence of conflict. It grows where people have a fair chance at a livelihood, an education and good health, and where neighbours trust one another. Promoting peace is one of Rotary’s seven areas of focus, and it shapes much of the work of the Rotary Club of Muyenga Sunday Sunset.
Rotary tackles the root causes of conflict, such as poverty, inequality and lack of opportunity, and trains local leaders to prevent and resolve disputes. Around the world, Rotary Peace Fellowships have prepared well over a thousand professionals to lead peacebuilding in their own communities.
We build peace one community at a time: by creating opportunity, standing with the vulnerable and bringing people together across every divide.
Opportunity builds peace
Together with four partner Rotary clubs, we supported skills training for boda-boda riders in technical and financial skills, helping young people build safer, more stable livelihoods.
What we focus on
- Skills and livelihoods for young people
- Care for vulnerable and marginalised people
- Support for persons with disabilities
- Dialogue and understanding between communities
- Youth leadership through Rotaract and Interact
How we work
We put our energy into projects that reduce the pressures behind conflict: unemployment, exclusion and lack of access to basic services.
From wheelchairs and vocational training at Katalemwa Cheshire Home to relief and medical support at Kiwanga Integrated Charity Home, we make sure no one is left behind.
We encourage young leaders to serve, and we share information about Rotary Peace Fellowships with professionals working in peace and development.
