The Global Peace Foundation (GPF) is an international non-sectarian, non-partisan, nonprofit organization, which promotes an innovative, values-based approach to peacebuilding, guided by the vision of One Family under God. GPF engages and organizes a global network of public and private-sector partners who develop community, national, and regional peace building models as the foundation for ethical and cohesive societies.
The Global Peace Foundation affirms the importance of universally recognized principles and shared values as essential to building social cohesion within nations and the global community.
Among these principles are:
-All people have intrinsic value, dignity, and fundamental rights, as endowed by the Creator.
-Every person has, as his or her highest attribute, a spiritual and moral essence.
-Our human nature finds its fullest expression and meaning in relation to others.
-People develop their innate potential through their choices and actions. Freedom and responsibility are intrinsically linked.
-Understanding our shared identity and common aspirations as members of the human family establishes the basis for lasting peace. It is the foundation for respect, empathy and shared responsibility beyond the boundaries of ethnicity, religion, and nationality.

The Kenya Community Development Foundation (KCDF) was registered in 1997 as a community foundation that promotes sustainable community-driven development initiatives. KCDF believes that systemic and enduring change is possible when communities are able to initiate and drive their development agenda while working with government and other actors to access their basic rights and services as well as harness and grow their own resources. KCDF implements development programmes across the country by partnering with credible and organized community groups.
