Who we are and where we provide training:

Founders & spouses Yohannes and Cara Yadagne met in Canada at University while both playing for the varsity soccer teams. Long before they got married, they each had a strong desire and vision to share peace and hope in East Africa and the Middle-East. While in this region of the world, they witnessed the need for peace, equality, and social justice. After two years of marriage and having their first daughter, they moved to Ethiopia. They now have four daughters and continue to be invited into some of the most difficult areas of the region to provide peace/conflict resolution and develop leaders who go on to positively transform their communities.
