PROGRES (réponse impérative) : Votre organisation a-t-elle connu un progrès vers une culture de paix et de non-violence pendant cette deuxième moitié de la décennie (2005-2010) ? Merci de ne pas déborder cette espace pour votre réponse. |
Schools report an improvement in their discipline, relationships and academic performance. The Provincial Education Officer noted that schools in Western Province who had trained in the Virtues showed far fewer instances of violence and disturbance. In a country where people often solve their problems by burning and destroying, this is significant.
Kenya outlawed the cane in 2004, but it is still often used. Physical abuse of children in schools and families is widespread. Schools that have adopted the Virtues strategies have abandoned the use of the cane and other shaming punishments. Many have formed Peace Keeper squads who have replaced prefects who used to patrol brandishing sticks.
Virtues in Kenya is too new to see any long term outcomes, but there is a huge thirst for training and a lively interest in learning more about the strategies at all levels of society.

OBSTACLES (réponse impérative) : Votre organisation a-t-elle rencontrer des obstacles empêchant vos initiatives pour une culture de paix et de nonviolence? Expliquez-les, svp. Merci de ne pas déborder cette espace pour votre réponse.
|
* Africa has the advantage over Western countries in that society is still largely faith based. People have no difficulty in accepting a spiritual premise for the Virtues teachings. Despite this, corruption is endemic and widespread, encouraging a culture of mistrust and envy. It is hard to define who is my neighbour. Prevalent culture allows the lynching of suspected thieves, bribing of police officers and suppression of women’s rights. There are many cultural taboos to overcome in establishing equity and justice
* The major obstacle to the work in spreading the Virtues is that of funding. Facilitators give their time freely to train, but do need their transport costs and refreshments. A few handouts are also required. Very poor communities in the rural areas cannot afford even these minimal costs
* Although cell phone technology is widespread, communications are generally difficult. Few people use email or the internet on a regular basis. Roads are in dreadful state of repair. Travel is slow and costly. Except in the larger towns, it is difficult to bring people together for information or training.
