In the face of prolonged conflict and displacement, the Youth for Peace Initiative (YPI) recognizes that peace cannot be sustained without health both physical and mental. The Initiative’s Health and Well-being pillar is grounded in the belief that a healthy, resilient individual is the cornerstone of a peaceful and productive community. Through its integrated approach, YPI provides medical, nutritional, and psychosocial support to Sudanese youth, women, and families, including refugees and internally displaced persons, striving to restore dignity and stability amid hardship.

The Initiative’s interventions extend beyond clinical services. YPI offers primary healthcare, medical screenings, essential medications, and health education programs that address both prevention and treatment. Its outreach efforts focus on improving health literacy, promoting positive behaviors, and ensuring that vulnerable populations have access to basic health needs. By doing so, the Initiative contributes to reducing health inequalities and strengthening community-based health systems.

Mental health and psychosocial well-being are central to YPI’s vision. The Initiative provides safe spaces where individuals can express emotions, share experiences, and receive structured psychological support. Through group therapy, awareness workshops, and dialogue sessions, YPI empowers participants to manage trauma, anxiety, and loss helping them rebuild self-confidence and regain a sense of control over their lives. This focus on mental resilience directly supports social cohesion and peacebuilding by addressing invisible wounds that hinder recovery and coexistence.
