From the genocide in Rwanda and Sudan to the human atrocity and mass murder in DR Congo, South Sudan, Sudan, and Burundi, the church has been unable to respond effectively to these man-made atrocities. ALARM was founded to equip the church to be an instrument of healing, forgiveness, reconciliation, and peace. It is through this approach that an Africa without violent racial, tribal, religious, and political conflicts can one day exist. Our work addresses the root causes of tribal and political violence, oppression of religious freedom, political corruption, and marginalization of the most vulnerable widows and orphans by developing leaders who bring healing to broken relationships. Without reconciled relationships, no community or nation can truly experience stability, peace, or development. Many of the individuals who we work alongside have faced traumatizing events but through training, trauma healing, and reconciliation these leaders are empowered to become advocates of justice and change.
