Elman Peace is a leading peacebuilding organization based in Somalia, founded by the late peace activist Elman Ali Ahmed. The organization, now run by his wife and daughters, focuses on disarmament, rehabilitation, and reintegration of former child soldiers, as well as advocating for women's rights and providing vocational training for young people. Elman Peace is known for its innovative approaches to peace and security, including the "Drop the Gun, Pick Up the Pen" campaign, which encourages young Somalis to exchange their weapons for education. The organization continues to play a crucial role in promoting peace and development in a region long plagued by conflict.
