Catalyst for Peace

home who we are in the news what is forgiveness? catalysts tell a friend contact us

In 2007, Catalyst for Peace
began to ask and explore the
question, What is Forgiveness?

The stories of reconciliation
we witnessed, documented and
shared in Sierra Leone have
inspired the creation of
Fambul Tok International,
where ordinary people are
answering that question in
extraordinary ways.

Catalyst for Peace is a Portland, Maine based foundation that identifies and supports community based peacebuilding work around the world. Our current work focuses on post-conflict Africa, and also on the ways moderate religious voices are mobilizing for peace.

We are committed to finding the stories that aren’t being told, learning from the lessons of local cultures and supporting their role in peacemaking, and disseminating these lessons to a global audience.
