Peace for Life Ghana(PLG) is an independent registered non-government and nonprofit civil society organization based in Walewale in the North-Esat region of Ghana. PLGs prime motto is promoting peace through human development.

In 2016, a dynamic and development-oriented individual working in the development sector, Mr. Mutawakilu Alhassan, in consultation with relevant individuals and institutions, established an organization for addressing the most urgent and pressing needs of the people of the North eastern part of Ghana. True to this spirit the organization was named Peace for Life Ghana (PLG).

Considering his association with the development sector, the founder was cognisant of the plethora of problems plaguing the region. Consequently, the organization’s focus was not kept limited either  in terms of geography or sector. Whilst operating in different districts of the region, PLG has been carrying a range of interventions in the areas of education, Water, health & hygiene, youth & women empowerment, Food and Nutrition Security, human rights and Peacebuilding.

The type of activities undertaken by the organization range from capacity building to service delivery, with focus remaining on the deprived and marginalized segments of the society. Whereas in terms of operations what characterizes PLG’s functioning are its efforts to (a) enlist involvement of the locals when initiating activities at the grass root level; and (b) mobilize women and youth to promote peace, tolerance, and development in society.

Owing to the linkages of its members with national & international funding agencies – PLG has carried out projects in partnership with organizations like SNV, CRS, Business sector advocacy challenge fund(BUSAC) , STAR-Ghana Foundation and  Vibrant Village Foundation(USA).We work closely with local authorities and state departments and agencies in our operational areas.
