Mission statement:	An organization that strives for sustainable and peaceful environment.We are set to empowering the youthful excellence and more over to ascertain a sustainable and peaceful atmosphere. Our major roles are, mentoring, advocating and teaching youths and others the reasons why peace should be embraced and maintained for a better society. As we are living in the world of crisis, fracas and war which usually arose for uncertain reasons which could be lack of communication ethics, religious, tribal or ethnical differences, we do our best to teach people on how to communicate Non Violently and love one another. Most importantly, to respect other people’s tradition and religion. Our other involvements are environmental sanity and humanitarian assistance. A clean and sustainable environment creates a basic impact in human nature to be at peace. When you are at peace with your environment then you can as well be at peace with what happens around you because when the environment is not sustainable, certain sickness could emerge which will attack the body and put it unrest then finally take away the peace In them. Therefore, we as well teach youths and others to embrace cleanliness to expand their life span. Hunger, starvation and frustration are part of the elements that takes away peace in our community and human imagery, “as the saying goes, a hungry person is an angry and deadly person” why because, when you are hungry, you can become angry with yourself, family, community and others. Vehemently, you can perform any practices when lured with provisions just for you to quench the condition. Therefore, we try our possible best to aid the much we can by reaching the most abandoned and homeless and provide them the basic needs we can afford, as well show them that we care and can do more if we could. By giving them hope for a better life in future and prove to them, they are not rejected rather people cares. Though, we enlighten people on HIV/AIDS, which is part of our campaign, on how it can be contacted, avoided and stop discriminating the patients because it`s not a communicable disease. All this mentioned above are inline with UN MDG`S and we do our best to work vigorously to achieve the global dream. Youths are mostly our target because they are the future for tomorrow`s better society. Our vision is to change the mindset of the youths and others on the above mentioned for a better and peaceful society. Our target is to keep moving and never allow the light to drop down until our goals are being implemented.
