At Initiative for Peace & Development (IPD), we are dedicated to creating a better world by delivering evidence-based programs that positively impact women, children, families, and communities. Our work focuses on promoting health, education, and child protection. We prioritise those who face the greatest challenges—women and girls, children with disabilities, refugees, and individuals who experience persecution due to their religion, sexuality, socioeconomic status, or ethnicity.
Our programs are designed to address the unique needs of marginalised and vulnerable communities. By partnering with local stakeholders, we strive to foster lasting change, build resilience, and enhance the well-being of those we serve.
Promoting accessible healthcare services and education for improved health outcomes.
Empowering individuals and communities through educational programs and resources.
Safeguarding children from harm and ensuring their rights are respected.
At IPD, we believe that young people are the heartbeat of every thriving community. In Australia, we work closely with youth to build confidence, develop leadership, and nurture essential life and career skills that prepare them for a successful future.
Through our programs, we:
Encourage active participation in community service and volunteer work
Provide access to education, mentorship, and digital skills training
Foster a sense of purpose, responsibility, and belonging among young people
Promote cross-cultural understanding and unity through collaborative initiatives
Our approach empowers youth to become agents of positive change — in their lives, their communities, and beyond. By investing in their potential today, we are shaping a brighter, more peaceful tomorrow.
We promote health and wellbeing through accessible healthcare services and awareness initiatives. Our programs focus on preventive health education, maternal and child health, and providing essential medical support to underserved communities.
Education is a pathway to empowerment. We provide educational resources, training, and scholarships to children, youth, and women. Our programs include literacy initiatives, vocational training, and school support for marginalized communities.
We are committed to safeguarding the rights and wellbeing of vulnerable children. Our child protection services focus on preventing abuse, supporting children at risk, and advocating for policies that protect their rights and futures.
We champion gender equality by empowering women and girls with skills, knowledge, and resources. Our initiatives include leadership training, economic empowerment, and advocacy for the rights and safety of women in at-risk communities.
We provide critical support to refugees and displaced individuals by offering resources such as shelter, legal aid, and integration services. We also work to protect those fleeing persecution due to their religion, sexuality, socioeconomic status, or ethnicity.
Our community development programs aim to build resilience and sustainability. We work closely with local leaders to implement solutions that promote social cohesion, improve livelihoods, and enhance the capacity of communities to thrive in challenging environments.
To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity.
At IPD, we believe that true development begins with opportunity. Through our community-based training programs in Goma, we equip young people with essential computer skills to enhance their employability and future prospects.
We also empower women through hands-on training in sewing, basket weaving, and beadwork — helping them build sustainable livelihoods and financial independence.
These initiatives not only foster self-reliance but also strengthen families and communities, one skill at a time.
In a powerful display of solidarity, IPD organized an African Unity Fundraiser where people from diverse nationalities came together to support our mission of peace and cooperation.
The event aimed to unite hearts and voices for Congo and Sudan, two nations facing immense challenges. Through shared culture, compassion, and community spirit, participants joined hands to promote hope, healing, and togetherness across borders.
This gathering was a true reflection of IPD’s vision — building peace through unity and collective action.
