HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

For decades Kenya has been known as an island of peace. Indeed, she has hosted thousands of refugees and those seeking political asylum. At the advent of multi-party system in 1991, the country started experiencing political turmoil of an ethnic angle. The conflicts were however localized within few geographical areas. The country managed to push forward within a very delicate balance of ruined inter-ethnic relationships. In 2007 after the contested presidential elections, this state escalated to many parts of the nation and the country could no longer hold together. This resulted to a full blown and widespread conflict where death, displacement and destruction of property occurred leaving many hearts wounded.

In 2008, Way of Peace (WAPE) was formed in efforts to bring healing to the wounded hearts. This was in partnership with Mercy Ministries International, a Rwandan based organization. Rwanda had walked the journey before Kenya after the 1994 Genocide. An approach called Healing Hearts Transforming Nations (HHTN) was very effective in the Rwandan journey of Healing and Reconciliation. This came in handy for WAPE to use in Kenya. Since then, many have received healing, broken relationships have been restored, churches and individuals have been empowered to be agents of hope and reconciliation in their communities. The Kenyan and Rwandan stories are not unique in the region, since the rest of the countries in the region also experience either political, ethnic, religious or social conflicts. The approach has been used not only in countries in Africa, but also in Europe, America and Asia.
