Re-Imagining New Communities, a Nairobi-based organisation, was named Outstanding Peace and Security Initiative of the Year 2025 at the International Peace and Security Awards (IPSA) held in Dar es Salaam. The annual award honours individuals and organisations whose work strengthens stability and harmony within communities across Africa. “This is not just about Re-Imagining New Communities,” said Sahlim Charles, the group’s Executive Director, during his acceptance speech. “It is about the countless children we support through peace labs and the teachers who have built inclusive classrooms. The award, presented by the African Leadership Initiatives for Impact (ALII), places Re-Imagining New Communities among a growing list of organisations redefining what it means to build peace in today’s Africa.
