Muslim and Christian leaders have come together to form an interfaith network in #tarasaa sub-county, where they work together with youth, women, and PWDs to promote tolerance, dialogue, and social harmony. Thanks to @SFCG_Kenya
and #TOFORB project.
Youth are now more engaged in peacebuilding, cultural preservation, and early warning reporting on violent extremism, supported by stronger trust between communities and security agencies. Faith institutions are also opening up spaces for young people in mosques and churches, strengthening their leadership roles and positive influence.
These efforts are building safer, more united communities and reducing vulnerability to violent extremism in Tana River.
Powerful transformations are being witnessed in Tarasaa through the #ToFORB Project supported by @SFCG_Kenya. Women are no longer silent victims but they are now leaders, peace champions, and active partners with security agencies in combating SGBV, promoting accountability, and advocating for the human rights for all. Their voices are shaping safer, more inclusive, and united communities where rights, dignity, and coexistence are protected for all.
In Lamu, youth, women & leaders came together through MUHURI’s #TOFORB to confront extremism, strengthen community resilience, and connect citizens with National Counter Terrorism Center & Kenya National Commission on Human Rights.

@KECOSCE is documenting key achievements of the #ToFoRB project @SFCG_Kenya through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and Key Informant Interviews (KIIs), engaging youth, religious leaders, and state actors to capture real stories of change on Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB), collaboration, and community resilience. The project has made significant strides in empowering stakeholders with skills to report and address FoRB issues, strengthening multi-faith coalitions, and enhancing trust and collaboration between communities, security, and justice actors. These conversations also highlight increased awareness of FoRB rights, respect for diversity, and a growing commitment to peaceful coexistence. #ToFoRB #FoRB #Peacebuilding #EWER #TanaRiver
1/4 In Tana River, the delays of Human-Wildlife Conflict compensation is more than an admin failure—it’s a breach of the social contract. At today’s Roundtable in Hola, we’re pushing for urgent policy reforms to bridge this governance gap. #ToFoRB #TanaRiver
Today we have engaged County level stakeholders and independent commissions; County Security and Intelligence Committee, County Executive Committee members, civil society, religious leaders, members of the Fourth Estate, @SFCG_Kenya @KenyasOmbudsman on drumming up support for Policy, Institutional and administrative reforms towards the realization of Freedom of Religion and Belief and the enjoyment of Human Rights in Tana River County.
Discussions dissected the dimensions in which Human-Wildlife interactions manifest in conflicts that leave marginalized communities disgruntled and resentful. While the conflicts are largely resource-based the intersection with Political and religious identities exacerbate deep-seated grievances; including delayed and disproportionate compensation of affected persons, Duty Bearer overreach and Administrative Malpractice
The engagement has drawn policy recommendations and key institutional reforms that stakeholders will pursue and fast track towards realization of Justice and protection of Human Rights in Tana River County
It was a powerful reminder that embracing our differences and protecting every individual’s right to believe, practice, or not believe is essential to building inclusive, resilient, and harmonious communities. #ToFoRB #PeacefulCommunities #WeAreHere
A captivating live drama performance brought these conversations to life, illustrating the community’s shared values while challenging and debunking common religious misconceptions in a relatable and thought-provoking way.
#ToFoRB #UnityInDiversity #InterfaithDialogue
Key highlights of the session borrowed from Search's Common Ground Approach tools such as the conflict tree in understanding how to approach conflicts and the importance of using dialogue to ensure a win-win discussion away from debates during conflicts.

@KECOSCE ,with support of #ToFoRB project through @SFCG_Kenya, held a Radio talk show at #KRADIO, hosting Youth on the show and discussing on their role in enhancing religious tolerance, challenging sterotypes and exclusion.
Youth are often pulled into violent extremism by unemployment, marginalization, lack of education, peer pressure, online radicalization, and poor governance. Prevention starts with awareness, economic empowerment, strong community structures, mentorship, and collaboration between leaders, police, and youth. @Phyllis_Muema @NCTC_Kenya
protect communities, & contribute to the promotion of justice & accountability.
