Welcome to cdpeace!

The co-founders Dr. Thomas Mark Turay and Mrs. Mary Hawa Turay

cdpeace is a rural community-based non-profit organization established in Sierra Leone in 1992 by Dr. Thomas Mark Turay and Mrs. Mary Hawa Turay.

Operations of the organization were disrupted during the war but the founders kept the spirit of cdpeace alive while they were studying in Canada. With the joint effort of the founders, the local communities in Paki–Masabong and Gbonkolenken Chiefdoms, international organizations, institutions, and individuals working together, cdpeace was revived in 2004. cdpeace is now internationally recognized for facilitating networking relationships among organizations and peaceful school communities in Canada and Sierra Leone, and for providing support to organize and implement programs in community development, community health, and peace education in rural Sierra Leone.  Read more About cdpeace.
