Shule Ya Wajenzi
Program

Addressing violence requires a shift to restorative practices and environmental change.

The Shule Ya Wajenzi program uses construction science to create spaces that promote community engagement and healing. Imagine neighborhoods designed for both safety and connectivity, where well-planned public areas encourage interaction and reduce misunderstanding. Considering socio-environmental impacts allows us to build structures that facilitate dialogue and collaboration, fostering empathy. Incorporating green spaces and sustainable designs can alleviate stress and enhance mental health, nurturing belonging and preventing violence. Ultimately, a restorative cultural perspective acknowledges how our environments shape behavior, enabling innovative construction practices to lead to peaceful, thriving communities.
