We try to change policies from curative health to preventative. Even at the beginning of a crisis, it is important to look ahead. In the Mobotu regime, in Kivu, the only way to obtain primary education and health care was through churches, parental financing, the community, and the private sector, which kept schools and health services alive. We support the continued role and involvement of civil society in decision-making. This is important whether the plan has a specific peace orientation or whether it is general.
Education is a critical priority and is worth prioritization and investment.
Activities include addressing mental and psychological health, and trauma recovery through family, teachers, and community workers, who are also often under extreme stress themselves. We attempt to reunify families where the children will not be rejected. Often there is a rejection of children who commit violence. If they can not be reintegrated, they often return to violence. We also provide education, vocational training, and work because the failure to reintegrate children into society is a signal of a return to violence in the future.
