Our Mission

Foster sustainable peace, social justice, and reconciliation by empowering local communities, training leaders in non-violent conflict management, and transforming destructive disputes into constructive, dialogue-driven processes.

We strengthen local capacity for peacebuilding, preventing violent conflict, promoting community dialogue, and addressing the root causes of conflict to build an African society free of injustice and violence.

Unlike many organizations that address conflict from

the outside, PTN works from within communities. Our African-led, community-centered approach prioritizes dialogue, reconciliation, storytelling, storylistening, capacity building, and local ownership, ensuring that peace initiatives are relevant, inclusive, and sustainable long after projects end.

Africa’s leading community-based conflict transformation organization, empowering local communities to build sustainable peace from the ground up.

Our Vision

As a local community-based nonprofit focusing on conflict resolution and transformation in Africa, the vision of Payeye Transforming Networks is to foster peaceful, resilient communities where trauma is healed and differences are managed constructively, leading to sustainable development and social cohesion.

Core vision elements:

  • Healed and reconciled communities: a future where communities in the DRC and Africa-wide are restored, breaking cycles of violence and trauma.
  • Structural Transformation tackling root causes of conflict, including socioeconomic inequality and environmental insecurity.
