The Kenya Defence Forces, in partnership with the Eastern Africa Standby Force Secretariat Peace Operations Department, joined students from Lang’ata Barracks Primary and Secondary Schools to commemorate the International Day of Peace on Monday, 21 September 2026. The celebration brought the United Nations theme, “Invest in Peace: For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day,” closer to the students through the local theme, “Peace Through Young Eyes: Investing in Peace, Every Day.” The theme placed young people at the centre of peacebuilding, underscoring the role they can play in promoting tolerance, dialogue and harmony within their schools, families and communities. The event reflects KDF’s sustained engagement with young people and local communities to nurture responsible citizenship, mutual respect and a culture of peaceful coexistence.
