Promoting Peaceful Coexistence Through Sports in Ayod County

HWW launches a sports-for-peace tournament in Ayod County, bringing together youth from different communities to promote peaceful coexistence and social cohesion.

Humanity Worldwide organized a sports-for-peace football tournament in Ayod County, Jonglei State, bringing together youth from host communities and displaced populations.

The tournament, branded 'Peace Begin With Me', brought youth together in a spirit of unity across communities that have historically experienced inter-communal tensions.

Alongside the football matches, HWW facilitated community dialogue sessions where youth leaders discussed peaceful coexistence, conflict resolution, and shared aspirations for their communities.

Events like this are central to HWW's protection programming, which recognizes that lasting peace requires investment in social cohesion and community-level trust-building.
