The Nkwihoreze way
The Nkwihoreze team developed new tools, materials, and methods to foster meaningful conversations across generations, address sensitive issues, and promote well-being for children, families and communities. Follow our story as we develop and share free tools and resources relating to intergenerational transmission of trauma and resilience.
Our partnerships
Nkwihoreze is not just a project, it is a team, a family united by a beleive that our tools and approach can support children and families facing difficult circumstances.
We are continuing to develop the programme and seek further opportunities to explore the potential of the Nkwihoreze way across the world..
Our Aims

The project encourages conversations between different age groups within families.

Nkwihoreze Approach & Toolkit, Attribution Notice
The Nkwihoreze tools and approach have been created with great care and commitment, drawing on years of collaborative work between children, families, psychosocial workers, community workers, NGOs and researchers to support the wellbeing of children and families.
We share these materials with practitioners and anyone interested via workshops, talks, conferences and our website. We want our tools to be used widely and freely for the benefit of communities. All we ask is that all learners and practitioners honour this purpose by using the tools only for non‑commercial activities that support children and families in non‑profit or public service settings.
To recognise the work of those who developed the toolkit, please credit the Nkwihoreze team clearly whenever you use, describe or share the materials, using the attribution: “©The Nkwihoreze Approach & Toolkit”.
We also kindly ask that you record the impact of implementation using the official form on our website, helping us understand how the tools are supporting families and how the programme continues to grow.
By learning and using the Nkwihoreze approach, you join a wider collective effort to strengthen and support families with care, dignity and hope. Thank you for helping this work reach more communities and for carrying it forward in the same spirit of commitment and compassion with which it was created.
