Give Back Africa

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF NON-VIOLENCE October 2nd, 2024 - Freetown, Sierra Leone: On this International Day of Non-Violence, Give Back Africa stands in solidarity with the world, emphasizing the importance of peace, compassion, and understanding. As an organization committed to uplifting African communities through education, empowerment, and sustainable development, we believe that non-violence is the foundation of a thriving society. Today, we urge everyone to honor the legacy of peace champions like Mahatma Gandhi by promoting dialogue over conflict, understanding over division, and unity over hatred. Let us come together to build a world where the rights, dignity, and well-being of all are respected. We envision an #Africa and a world where communities grow stronger through peaceful coexistence, and we call upon global citizens to reflect on their role in fostering this change. From conflict resolution to fostering community engagement, our collective actions can sow seeds of peace for generations to come. #InternationalDayofNonViolence Diamond Suma | Mandela Washington Fellowship | University of California, Davis | Alhassan Augustine Christian Turay | United Nations |
