International
From 05 to July 2019 in the territory of Rutshuru in Kiwanja was held a meeting of exchange of local actors involved in the field of Peace, those of young volunteers of the theatre of oppression of Amani Kwetu International, the church of Christ in Congo Rutshuru(ECC-Rutshuru), Some representatives of Protestant and Muslim schools and churches of Rutshuru ;from this exchange have emerged key recommendations to consolidate and intensify activities on the protection of the environment, human rights, equality and peaceful cohabitation at our borders in the sub-region of the Great Lakes, East Africa and elsewhere in the world on the Integral plan, so was born the vision of internationalizing Amani Kwetu International Aisbl AMI-africa.
Since May 2020, Amani Kwetu International Aisbl has extended its radius of action in East Africa and in the sub-region of the Great Lakes in the framework of rooting its vision and rooting cross-border relations between new generations aware that Africa needs them (their studies, their talents, their gifts, their ethnic-racial and linguistic differences) for its development. In these days within Amani Kwetu International Aisbl we now have Ugandans, Somalis and South Sudanese victims of wars and atrocities who live in refugee camps in Uganda in the hope of joining other countries.

Our objectives
Ours Members
Amani Kwetu Inetrnational trains its members during workshops and training sessions. However, it relies on qualified and vetted trainers to deliver its humanitarian programmes and guidelines to members and managers as well as to vulnerable populations, depending on the demands of the subject matter or the project being implemented.
As we are aiming for integral development, we need to work hand in hand with trainers from different parts of the world to offer training according to their specialities to our members and to the target population of our programmes, or we take part in dense programmes abroad within organisations that can welcome us to reinforce our capacities on behalf of our communities and relevant to the areas that our participants want to improve.
our Management Committee
Amani Kwetu has a General Assembly in each country where it will have its office which reports to the International General Assembly which oversees all activities of Amani Kwetu International worldwide.

How can we conciliate Climate change and Peace in a conflict region ?
Children for climate change in a war-torn region (Rutshuru- DRCongo)
One child = one tree, one child = one tree programme
Since 2016, Eliezer Kasereka and Rachel Muhani launched the one child equals one tree programme, a programme within Amani Kwetu International that taught children in Rutshuru to take an active part in restoring planet earth. Primary schools, churches and non-profit associations were our target. The aim was to help children living in conflict zones to reconcile climate action with the environment and peace in their respective environments, using weather conditions to help them understand the Earth’s movements, rotation and translation, the different seasons, climate change, the greenhouse effect and climate justice. The course was given in the form of games and ended in a serious way, so that these young adults in miniature became aware of the seriousness of the situation facing the universe,
Today the program still and it’s now One child equal two trees by our Agronom Mr Demande SIKULITSEMIRE The programme consisted of planting trees in the Rutshuru area; in schools and fruit trees in their homes, so that each child will be in charge of two trees, their private trees, which they will water every morning before leaving home and when they arrive at school. The children who are responsible, i.e. those who correctly follow the process of taking care of their private trees, will receive a good reward; gifts and influence the teachers to add a few points during class work on the land and the environment and it’s formers child soldiers who teach strategies for reconcililing climate change and peace to children living in these conflict zones,referringto the strategies for building peace thanks to war vetrerans
