The post-election violence in January 2008 that scorched Mathare Valley, destroyed homes and businesses and took many lives opened the eyes of many. The unthinkable had happened and the need to prevent the emergence of future conflicts is critically urgent. Many youth in Mathare Valley were involved in the violence as perpetrators, as victims, or as both. Youth involved with Maji Mazuri did not engage in violence and instead initiated activities to promote peace and community cohesion during and right after the conflict erupted.
