Peace
A just and peaceful society is the foundation for sustainable development. That’s why we are committed to working in conflict zones, creating possibilities for the people there.
Situation
The path to a better future.
According to the UN, 120 million people worldwide are forced to leave their homes due to war, violence, or political persecution. Without peace in their own country, many people have no prospects for the future.
So zum Beispiel im Südsudan. In einem der ärmsten Länder der Welt haben langjährige bewaffnete Konflikte und ein Bürgerkrieg zu grosser Instabilität geführt. Für Kinder und Jugendliche bedeutet dies das Schlimmste: Schulen sind zerstört, viele Kinder wurden als Kindersoldaten und -soldatinnen eingezogen. Die Einschulungsrate im Südsudan gehört zu den tiefsten der Welt. Darum fördern wir Frieden. Denn ohne Frieden ist Bildung nicht möglich. Wenn der Schulweg nicht sicher ist, kann kein Kind zur Schule gehen. Und ohne Bildung sieht die Zukunft düster aus.
Earthquake in Myanmar
A severe earthquake leads to a disaster. Partners of ena are on site. Help us.Vision
We are committed to ensuring that more and more people worldwide have a peaceful environment, providing a chance for a future free from poverty. We see peace not only as the absence of war but also as a reduction of violence and respect for human rights.
Approach
Peace for all.
Peacebuilding has many facets. We ensure that even the more vulnerable members of society benefit from peace initiatives: in Bangladesh, girls are no longer forced into child marriage; in South Sudan, children are no longer living as child soldiers; and in Peru, people with disabilities are able to exercise their rights and responsibilities.

Peace training
A new start together
Through peace training, for example in South Sudan, rival clans can make peace, ending decades-long feuds and restoring harmony. Thanks to "Sports for Peace," young people learn essential values of teamwork and unity. Through sports, they come to understand the importance of peaceful interactions with one another.

Mitigate conflicts
Include everyone in times of crisis
Bei Katastrophen, Konflikten oder Kriegen ist es wichtig, dass jede Hilfe den Frieden fördert und nicht unbeabsichtigt Konflikte verschärft. So unterstützen wir zum Beispiel in Bangladesch die lokale Bevölkerung in Cox’s Bazar. Für sie sind die Hundertausenden von Flüchtlingen aus dem Nachbarland eine Belastungsprobe. Hilfe für alle ist darum zentral.

Inclusion
Human rights as the basis for peace
Peace can only exist when human rights apply to everyone. That’s why we work to ensure, for example, that girls in Bangladesh are not married off as children and that people with disabilities in Peru have access to education and training. In all our projects, we include people from marginalized ethnic groups.
