Community Members

Some People Need Help And We Give It!

We have contacts in many of the communities around the country, through persons we have interacted with in one way or the other.

Community members can also contact us in case of a need for our services especially in peacebuilding, conflict resolution or conflict sensitive planning.

Volunteers and Interns

Over the years, CECORE has received and worked with volunteers and interns from both within the country and globally; coming either as part of an academic requirement, or to gain practical experience in our area of work.The duration at CECORE would depend on both the availability of opportunities as well as space.

The volunteers cater for their needs but the organisation may offer to arrange for their safe accommodation. When based in the office, the office facilities are at their disposal.

Media

We invite media personnel and houses to partner with us to contribute to a peaceful society. We can support training in ethical as well as peace reporting.

The media is a vital partner when it comes to advocacy on issues of peace and development as it is from a peaceful society that comes development.
