Healing the Scars of Conflict: Sisters Coordinating Peace Initiatives in Mount Elgon

Mount Elgon has historically suffered from recurrent land disputes and inter-clan skirmishes. After the most recent outbreak of violence, Sisters established temporary shelters and initiated peace circles bringing together elders from warring sides.

"True peace cannot be forced by guns; it must grow in the hearts of the people," explains Sister Martha. Her congregation's mediation sessions have created a lasting ceasefire and fostered joint agricultural markets between communities.
