What We Do

DREP Centre brings together youths, women, leaders and other grassroots members of various religious, political and ethnic groups for the purpose of experiencing and learning together the art of dialogue, reconciliation and peace building. We provide an opportunity for sharing of experiences to promote trust and reconciliation, which will in turn equip the participants for peace building in their own communities.

We bring stakeholders together to listen to each other, live alongside each other for a short time within learning and retreating environment, and by themselves provide alternative to violence. The Centre is a home for all: youths, women, men, traditional and community leaders, religious leaders, politicians and special groups such as trade unions and civil society/peace organization needing physical space to engage in trainings, mediation and other facilitated interventions. It is a retreating environment, one that is ideal for conflicting parties needing psychological safe space to tell their stories and to listen to one another.

DREP Centre places more emphasis on educating and organizing programs for women, youths, traditional and religious actors because of their importance in the society and the role they play in conflict situation. We help them build friendship in a more tranquil environment.
