What is peacebuilding
Peacebuilding involves addressing the root causes of conflict while also supporting societies to manage their differences and conflicts without resorting to violence
Recent Highlights
We hosted an advocacy workshop in collaboration with IANSA to address illicit weapon proliferation. The session empowered youth parliamentarians and community leaders to analyze international disarmament policies and bridge the gap between global treaties and local security realities.

ABOUT FOUNDER
The Transformative Journey of Xhuma Africa's Founder"
The founder of Xhuma Africa, born into an average African family with ten siblings, faced a life-changing event when kidnapped by rebels for attending school during the Anglophone conflict in Cameroon. Despite overcoming the trauma, he transitioned into teaching, experienced the harsh conditions of the Sahara Desert, and realized the interconnection between climate change and conflict, inspiring his mission to unite the fight for peace and environmental protection through Xhuma Africa.
