Overview

KCD is a non-religious, non-political, non-governmental Organisation with humanistic perspective. As a Peace Organisation, we understand we cannot promote peace without paying attention to the context in which peace shall flourish. This is why we use Community Development, Education and Sports as fields in which conflicts can be managed in a constructive and peaceful way. This way of working needs time to allow the change of mentality that is necessary for deep rooted peace. In everything we do, we focus on sustainability. Early success is good. But it is even better if it lasts for more than one or two harvest seasons or school years. Especially building peace takes time. The deeper the conflict roots, the harder it is to transform (learn more about this under Place and People).

Mission

Promote inter-ethnic peace, children’s and women’s rights, and development in respect of law and democracy. Strengthen the capacity of individuals to act as well for the own sake as for the sake of society. Promote principals of mutual respect in the interaction of all stakeholders in the community. Promote sustainable livelihood in a multi-ethnic society that respects the environment.

Vision

A peaceful developing multicultural society, in which the genuine needs and rights of all stakeholders, regardless their gender, age, race, religious belief, or social status, are recognized, respected and satisfied, in the respect of environment.
