Mediation Training Leads to Peacebuilding.

Because of the generosity of our partners, Rise Up provided matching scholarships for 17 lawyers and 2 ALARM-Rwanda staff to complete mediation training.

On May 31st, these 19 individuals started their 6-month mediation certification course.

These lawyers and peacebuilders will be better equipped to represent vulnerable individuals upon completion. Mediation often reduces the time that court cases take and promotes reconciliation among community members.

We are grateful to support these lawyers as they seek to represent the most vulnerable and advocate for justice, conflict transformation, and reconciliation.
