The Fellowship of Christian Councils and Churches in the Great Lakes and Horn of Africa
FECCLAHA
Is a regional ecumenical organization which provides a platform for sharing perspectives on issues of common concern, particularly regarding peace building and conflict transformation in the Great Lakes and Horn of Africa region.
Officially launched in March 1999, and registered in Kenya in February 2001, FECCLAHA fosters strong ecumenical cooperation and encourages its members to take ownership and responsibility for problems in the region and to proactively seek solutions to these challenges.
Our Mission
Our mission at FECCLAHA is to promote ecumenical solidarity for justice, peace, healing, conflict transformation and reconciliation in the Great Lakes and Horn of Africa through advocacy, networking and partnership, capacity building, research and documentation within the framework of holistic Christian Ministry
Our Vision
"Together for a just and peaceful society"
Fundamental to our vision is the assumption that solutions to the issues of conflict must essentially come from within the region, with inhabitants taking ownership and responsibility for the problems and proactively seeking solutions.
