Our Commitment
AYINET is Committed to Making Peace and Justice a Reality for Victims and Survivors of War
Celebrating AYINET's 20th Anniversary
Today, we look back and reflect upon the tough choices we made on the peak of 20 years of devastating, violent conflicts in northern Uganda. As bad as things were; we chose to work for peace and justice for victims.
Pain activated our passion, and we started AYINET during active conflicts. We stood against the desire to pick up guns to avenge our losses, simply because we refused to consider anyone as our enemy.
AYINET’s baby steps helped us grow into grassroots defenders and promoters of peace. We dedicated ourselves to transform lives impacted by war, the promotion of social cohesion and community development. We put ourselves at grave risk and we managed to save lives. Our biggest tools were courage, convictions, truth, and hope. We believe in humanity’s collective potential, the invincible resolve which compelled us to step forward for peace; we are proud of our achievements and contributions to the service of humanity.

Uganda’s Elections and Beyond
The upcoming elections demonstrates our progress in a democratic journey. There are existing social barricades and areas of concern that are sad and shocking with horrifying experiences that hurt our collective dreams as a nation.

…“Collectively, our solidarity with war victims’ world-over. I wish to applaud the African Youth Initiative Network- AYINET, for hosting the War Victims Day Football Game. Football has brought us together today. World leaders, ICC State Delegates, War Victims and all people of good will for the noble cause. As we participate, each in our unique ways, we have the opportunity to identify with our brothers and sisters whose lives have regrettably not only been affected, but also defined by war and other cowardly acts of terrorism and crimes against humanity. Together with the United Nations, we in The Republic of Uganda express our solidarity with war victims”
