Mission
of the African Great Lakes Initiative
The
African Great Lakes Initiative (AGLI) of the Friends Peace Teams strengthens,
supports, and promotes
peace activities at the grassroots
level in the Great Lakes region of Africa (Burundi, Congo, Kenya,
Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda). To this end, AGLI responds to requests
from
local religious and non-governmental organizations that focus on
conflict management, peace building, trauma healing, and reconciliation.
AGLI
sponsors Peace Teams composed of members from local partners and
the international community. We are a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization.
