Building Leaders for Peace
in Uganda & DR Congo

EI serves in the heart of Central & East Africa. Each program targets the holistic care and transformation of child survivors of war. These children are being restored and empowered to become leaders for peace who will lead and transform their communities!

Going beyond Rehabilitation

Exile International restores and empowers war-affected children through holistic, rehabilitative care — providing spiritual, emotional and physical restoration. EI also provides education, housing, food, and medical care.

Peace-Building & Conflict Resolution 
THE YOUNG PEACEMAKER 

This curriculum, written by Corlette Sande, empowers students to understand and respond to conflict in a Biblical manner. Because problems and conflict are inevitable in each persons life, it is crucial that these youth be equipped with the skills necessary to understand, respond to and overcome conflict.

– 

Leadership Development & Discipleship

Owing much to the acclaimed teachings John Maxwell, this curriculum was written and developed by a Congolese survivor of war for the youth of DR Congo. Through mentoring and lessons on key principles of leadership, youth are empowered to become leaders. Alongside practical opportunities to grow, youth are inspired by examples of great leaders, like Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr., who overcame adversity to lead and inspire generations.
