Our Projects & Initiatives
Together, let's build a future where peace, dignity, and sustainability reign.
WPD Projects & Initiatives
At Wings of Peace for Development (WPD), we believe that every action, no matter how small, can have a lasting impact when supported by the community. Our projects and initiatives aim to meet the real needs of local populations while contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Education & Peace Education
Education is a powerful weapon against poverty, exclusion, and violence. At WPD, we believe that education that incorporates the values of tolerance, dialogue, and mutual respect is the key to building peaceful and resilient communities. That is why we have set up workshops, school clubs, and community sessions where children, young people, and adults learn to resolve conflicts without violence and cultivate a culture of peace.
Nos projets visent également à améliorer l’accès à une éducation de qualité, en particulier pour les filles et les enfants issus de familles vulnérables. En renforçant les capacités éducatives locales et en valorisant l’éducation inclusive, nous donnons à chaque enfant la possibilité de s’épanouir et de devenir un acteur de changement positif pour sa communauté.

Community Health & Wellness
Health is the foundation of human development. Our community health projects focus on awareness, prevention, and access to care for disadvantaged populations.
We organize campaigns on hygiene, nutrition, maternal and child health, and we collaborate with health professionals to improve local practices.
These actions help reduce preventable diseases and improve the overall well-being of families.
We also emphasize training community health workers to ensure continuous care within the villages themselves.
By bringing healthcare closer to those who need it most, we are helping to save lives and strengthen communities' resilience in the face of health crises.
Environment & Sustainable Development
Preserving the environment is essential for a sustainable future. WPD implements reforestation, waste management, and endangered ecosystem protection projects. We work with local communities to promote nature-friendly practices while combating the effects of climate change. Every tree planted and every awareness-raising initiative helps to strengthen biodiversity and protect natural resources.
Our initiatives also include promoting renewable energy and green technologies. By raising awareness among young people and women about the value of the environment, we are preparing a generation that is conscious and committed to sustainability. These projects combine nature conservation with improving local living conditions.
Food security & Sustainable agriculture
Food security is a major challenge in many regions. Through our projects, we support farmers in adopting modern, environmentally friendly, and productive techniques.
We encourage sustainable agriculture, responsible livestock farming, and agro-pastoralism to ensure sufficient, diverse, and nutritious food for families. These initiatives help reduce hunger and stabilize rural household incomes.
In addition, we promote training and access to resources for young people and women, enabling them to start small agricultural businesses.
The goal is to strengthen community autonomy, stimulate the local economy, and build resilience in the face of food crises.
Empowerment of women and youth
We believe that women and young people are key drivers of change. That is why we develop training, mentoring, and entrepreneurship programs to enable them to acquire the skills they need to achieve economic and social independence.
These initiatives aim to break down gender barriers and promote a more inclusive and equitable society.
Our projects also include the creation of women's cooperatives and the establishment of platforms for young people to express themselves.
By strengthening their leadership and self-confidence, we prepare them to play a central role in the development of their communities and in building a more prosperous future.
Human Rights & Social Inclusion
Dignity and equality are universal rights. WPD is committed to defending these principles by raising awareness of human rights in communities and supporting victims of violence, particularly sexual violence.
We work with local actors to strengthen governance, promote citizen participation, and combat all forms of discrimination.
Our initiatives also aim to create a supportive environment where everyone, without distinction, can express themselves and participate fully in social, economic, and political life.
By focusing on justice and fairness, we are building a solid foundation for a more just and inclusive society.
Protection of Indigenous Peoples
Indigenous peoples, including Pygmy communities, are an integral part of our region's cultural and environmental wealth. Yet they often remain marginalized and vulnerable.
WPD is committed to defending their rights, promoting their access to education, healthcare, and natural resources, while respecting their culture and traditions.
We are also working to promote their ancestral knowledge, particularly in the areas of biodiversity protection and sustainable resource management.
By fully integrating them into development projects, we make their participation an essential pillar for a future that is equitable and respectful of diversity.
A comprehensive vision for a sustainable future
These projects are not simply isolated actions: they are part of a coherent and complementary strategy, where each initiative reinforces the others.
Together, they form a comprehensive framework that meets the essential needs of communities while respecting the principles of social justice, peace, and sustainability.
By promoting education, we are preparing a conscious and responsible youth. By improving health and well-being, we are strengthening the resilience of families.
By protecting the environment and supporting sustainable agriculture, we are ensuring food security for future generations.
By empowering women and young people, we stimulate innovation and inclusion. Finally, by defending human rights and protecting indigenous peoples, we ensure that no one is left behind.
It is this interconnection between our projects that constitutes the strength of Wings of Peace for Development. Each action is a piece of a larger puzzle: that of a future where communities are stronger, fairer, and more sustainable.
