Peace Clubs
Since its inception, African Projects for Peace and Love Initiatives Inc. NFP
(APPLI) has been engaging various ways, methods and means to promote
grassroots Peacebuilding in the continent of Africa. In addition to developing the
Structured Education for Peace (SEP)and Socio-Cultural Adjustment Programs
(SAP),  APPLI has conducted several street peace rallies and launched several
peace clubs at various levels of the grassroots communities. APPLI believes that
everyone has got a link to the grassroots and is therefore making efforts to reach
everyone at the grassroots for proactive Peacebuilding. To learn more about
each of these peace clubs, what they do, and how you can become an active
member, please click any of the links below.
Individual, collective and corporate
membership are welcome. Please click here to download a membership

African Children of Peace Club
The African Children of Peace Club, with its theme of "Catch Them Young for
Peace," is dedicated to children in nursery and primary schools. The object of this
club is to transform the African Children of Conflict to peace instead of violence.
APPLI believes that the idea of entrenching children in old conflicts and ancestral
hatred should stop. Adults should allow the children to grow their own sense of
how peaceful they want their world to be and stop forcing upon those innocent
minds our "failed" approach to global violence. It should no longer be "si pacem,
para bellum; but "si pacem, para pacem." It is the man of peace that has a future,
not the man of violence. If we insist on teaching hatred and violence to children,
whether through religion or ideology, we are indirectly closing the future of
humanity as a global family. Please complete a

new world mission of peace might evolve and that appropriate resources will be
channeled to Africa for sustainable peace. Please complete a

Nehemiah Youth Economic Empowerment Program
We have reckoned and rightly so that any peace which does not provide
economic empowerment is no peace at all.  It is our desire to build African youths
of goodwill and pull down walls of tribal hatred, religious riots, political dichotomy,
structured violence, decadence and waste. Our desire to make a difference in the
life of African youths have led us to introduce the Nehemiah Small Scale Youth
Economic Empowerment Program.  The idea upon which this program is based is
that higher institutions such as the polytechnics, technical colleges, business
schools, and universities will design and develop small scale industrial, business
and professional opportunities, package them and market them to their
graduates. We believe that as this programs develops, our higher institutions will
begin to specialize in specific need areas of the community and will create the
resourcefulness to meet such needs. A steering committee was inaugurated at the
Federal University of Technology, Akure, (FUTA), on August 30, 2004 comprising
five Heads of Departments and five students nominated from the five schools that
made up the university. Please click here for more information about the
Nehemiah Youth Economic Empowerment Program and the steering committee.

Peace Education Centers
The idea behind establishing peace education centers is to provide a forum where
members of the clusters of grassroots peace and love clubs could mix, mingle and
interact for larger effect and impact.  Though the structured peace education
offered at this level of interaction is less formal, yet it will go a long way in helping
to cultivate the new society of knowledge for peace and love among the various
ethnic and religious groups in the African diverse communities.  Workshops,
seminars, conferences, and provision of resources for skills in peacemaking and
Peacebuilding are parts of structured peace education offered at this level.  This
level will also support to a great extent, the idea of socio-cultural adjustment
programs being developed by A.P.P.L.I. Governments will be encouraged to
interact with the community of peace at this level for the dissemination of peace
and advocacy programs.
