Our Purpose

―― Empowering everyone as agents of peace, together we will break the chains of violence.

Acknowledging that, even amidst hardship, everyone possesses the potential to become an agent of peace. We pave the way to break the chain of violence and initiate a positive cycle that propels us toward sustainable peace.

Hardship here encompasses a broad spectrum of challenges in both domestic and international contexts. This may present as suffering caused by humanitarian crises and social exclusion or struggling to disengage from non-state armed groups, such as terrorist organizations, in active conflict zones.

Within these challenging circumstances, our focus goes beyond the mere attempt of ending a negative situation. Rather, we strive to transform adverse situations into positive ones. Believing in the potential of each individual we create proactive solutions for sustainable peace. This is where our purpose and pride reside.

Our Value

Our work is solely based on the people’s demands

We focus on issues that have been overlooked internationally, despite the significant demands from the people suffering from it. Much to the concerted effort of international society, aid and compassion have been seen against the socially vulnerable, such as children, women, and refugees. However, it is the people who get shut out from such trends that cause terrorist actions.

When tackling issues, our organization does not operate under the basis of empathy, but rather under objective reasoning. Therefore, it is the problems that are of urgent concern, however rarely looked upon, that we should and must commit to. This is why we work in areas of unending conflicts, such as Somalia, and against those who have been isolated from communities, for instance, ex-combatants of extremist groups and gang members.

Despite the high demands, the issues regarding counterterrorism and conflict resolution are scarcely addressed, since actors tackling them face various restrictions. Factors such as high risk, lack of effective solutions, and the deficiency of social support, significantly account for the difficulty to tackle the issues. Facing such major setbacks, Accept International will never give up. We are determined to establish a precedent for the solution to violent extremism and conflicts.
