For over 20 years, the Foundation for Peace in Divided Societies has worked to achieve peace in historically divided societies. As a US nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, the Foundation celebrates South Africa’s transition to a non-racial constitutional democracy and promotes reconciliation, mutual respect, and tolerance by nurturing relationships between diverse communities.
