What is
Accept Ambassador?

Accept Ambassador is our monthly giving program, where supporters can contribute from $10 USD per month to sustain our work. We chose the name «Accept Ambassador» because it means more than just being a monthly donor.

It represents a partner, a fellow changemaker, and someone who walks alongside us in our mission for peace. Your ongoing support enables us to accompany young people over the long term, as they leave armed groups behind and step forward as Agents of Peace.

Story of Unique Agent of Peace

Choose Peace, Not Revenge

Nor, Former member of Al-Shabaab

Nor was born in Somalia, a country in East Africa that has experienced decades of violence. When he was 17, his younger brother was killed by a government soldier. This tragedy deeply affected him and led him to join an armed group, driven by grief and a desire for justice.

Nor witnessed the harsh realities of conflict, and he was later arrested and sentenced to 15 years. Surrounded by sorrow and fear, Nor felt completely alone and lost hope for his future. During this difficult time, he met Accept International and started to study, reflect on peace and justice, and think about a new life after prison. Eventually, he became a teacher in the prison school and supported others in their learning and growth.

After his release, Nor chose to follow a path of peace instead of revenge. He supports young people affected by conflict and now helps prevent others from becoming involved in violence making use of his unique experiences. Nor says, “Accept International taught me the importance of learning and forgiveness. You gave me the courage to create a new future. Now I spend quiet time with my family and friends.”

Why Choose Accept International?

Accept International focuses on areas where needs are urgent but few actors are present, filling critical gaps in support and implementation. Since 2011, we have been working in the frontlines of conflict-affected regions with a strong track record as a field-based practitioner.

As an independent international NGO, we work in collaboration with governments, international organi-zations, academic institutions, while maintaining a politically neutral and field-oriented position.

We holds Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and gained international recognition, receiving a Peace Award from the King of Bahrain and UNDP, and presenting at the Paris Peace Forum in 2020.

Message from Executive Director

Empowering Everyone as Agents of Peace,

Together We will Break the Chain of Violence.

In conflict zones such as Somalia and Yemen, youth are often forced to join non-state armed groups due to extremist indoctrination, hatred of the loss of relatives and friends, and economic hardships.


Even if they leave non-state armed groups, they are not accepted by their community, and a number of youths suffer from the exclusion and continue to fight. There exists an interminable chain of violence.


We believe our approaches lead to a solution to armed conflict and violent extremism. Our pride resides in believing in the potential of each individual and creating proactive solutions for sustainable peace.
