These situations of repeated violence highlight the urgent need to implement safe strategies to establish peace in Haiti. Although addressing and responding to conflicts and establishing security remain essential, these measures are not enough to ensure lasting peace and prevent the recurrence of such events. This is why investing in prevention remains a priority and represents a much more cost-effective strategy in the long term.

Spreading peace education programs is one of the essential aspects to be utilized in this context. Faced with these challenges, the IDEO Foundation and the Ti Souf Foundation have deemed it essential to launch an innovative program entitled “Sow Love, Reap Peace.” This ambitious program aims to promote a culture of peace through targeted educational interventions in schools, families, and neighborhoods in Haiti, based on the values of love and solidarity. The program seeks to offer young Haitian adults, men and women, who have experienced trauma and live in fragile neighborhoods, training based on a holistic approach to peace, taking into account the physical, emotional, spiritual, and material dimensions of individual well-being. This model of integral development will allow these trained agents to spread the acquired skills and values across the country, creating a powerful leverage effect that propagates the principles of peace and resilience through a true network of solidarity and community transformation
