The PEACE Trust was created to assist people overcome the negative impact that organised violence, including war, has had on the lives of thousands of Namibians. Our society has over the last years witnessed a steady increase in suicides and violent crimes, some of which may be attributed to unresolved psychosocial trauma. The Trust set up a PEACE Centre in Windhoek to address the consequences of organised violence in a practical and sustainable way.

It has become evident that trauma due to organised violence and other types of trauma are often intertwined. Consequently, the focus of PEACE has now expanded to include assisting people overcome the negative impact of all forms of violence and other events that may result in trauma

PEACE's purpose is to ensure that people affected by violence and other traumatic events have increased access to psycho-social services and that there is an increased understanding of the impact of trauma.
