These students are being trained to become peer mediators, creating a safe and supportive environment at the school. The program, which includes an innovative Peace Club with art therapy, is WPDI\u2019s first of its kind globally. Mr. Sange Mbontsi, a teacher at the school, shared, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt changed their lives. I have witnessed that the art is so therapeutic to them.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regan Adams, CEO of WPDI\u2019s long-standing partner, RCS Group, expressed his hope for the future, saying,<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cWhat you&rsquo;re doing here is truly incredible \u2013 I love the concept of a peace club centered around art therapy.

In total, 160 women graduated, having completed their training program in Business and Entrepreneurship. Speaking at the event, Regan Adams encouraged the graduates to continue supporting one another, highlighting the importance of community:<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cMaybe some of you are going to run businesses, maybe some of you will support those who are going to run businesses.

Speaking at the ceremony, she shared, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhether you are starting a small business, working to mediate conflicts in your community, or stepping into a role of leadership, there will be tough moments ahead.

From empowering women and young entrepreneurs to fostering peace education in schools and communities, WPDI\u2019s holistic approach continues to transform lives and bring hope to regions that need it most. Our Executive Director\u2019s visit provided valuable insights and highlighted lessons that will be taken on board as we continue to innovate.
