Welcome To FNPEJA
We are a faith-driven network committed to promoting peace, ecological justice, and human dignity across Africa. Inspired by the Franciscan charism, we bring together Franciscans, faith-based organisations, and grassroot movements to advance integral ecology, active nonviolence, and sustainable development.
What We Do
Peacebuilding in Africa
We train the next generation of peacemakers. Each year, we bring together African youth for a week-long forum, equipping them with conflict resolution skills to become certified ambassadors for peace in their home communities.
Ecological Justice
We teach youth that the well-being of people and the health of the planet are inseparable. Our programs empower them to champion ecological protection and safety in their own vulnerable communities.
Social Welfare Activities
We provide critical, compassionate support to those who need it most including the elderly, people with disabilities, and the chronically ill. Together with our partners, we ensure access to life’s essentials: shelter, food, healthcare, and education.
Development Activities
We partner with small-scale farmers and local groups to build economic independence in harmony with our planet. Our work fosters food security through eco-friendly farming and provides access to training, resources, and markets. We also support off-farm initiatives and skills development to create diverse and sustainable sources of income.
Health and Nutrition
We work within communities to improve health and nutrition across Africa, with a special focus on giving children a healthy foundation in their first 1,000 days of life. We also provide critical support for mothers, at-risk groups, and those managing chronic diseases.
A Unified Call to Action
Answer the call to heal our land and mend our communities, building a future of peace and justice for all.
