Peace Tree Network Registered Trustees (PTN) is dedicated to nurturing peaceful, just, and inclusive communities across Eastern Africa, the Great Lakes, and the Horn of Africa. Registered in Kenya, PTN works to advance peace and conflict transformation, human rights, gender and development, and good governance through community-led action, research, training, and advocacy.

Rooted in African traditions where communities gathered under sacred trees to learn, deliberate, and resolve conflict, PTN embodies that same spirit of collective wisdom, unity, and shared responsibility.

We bring together a vibrant network of young leaders, women leaders, educators, artists, activists, civil society organisations, and policymakers to build resilient, empowered, and cohesive societies. Our approach is a blended one, emphasising conflict transformation, leadership development, gender empowerment, human rights advocacy, civic engagement, artivism, and evidence-based research all designed to ensure that change begins from the ground up.

Guided by our core values of Peace, Empowerment, Accountability, Collaboration, and Equity (P.E.A.C.E.), we walk alongside communities, listening, learning, and co-creating solutions that uplift, protect, and include the most vulnerable.

At PTN, we believe that when people are empowered, peace takes root. And when peace takes root, communities flourish.
