Then through the MHM contribution in their area to establish women’s resource centre for enhancing economic empowerment, warring factions agreed to peace the accord.
The warlords and those who lost their loved ones attended the Peace Accord in Waluwili Mama Halpim Mama Foundation Training centre in Ialibu.
Women who are the first beneficiaries were overjoyed for the changes happening in their lives. They expressed sentiments of peace as they gave gifts to the Founder for MHM, Ruth Undi.
Though a ceasefire, agreement was signed in 2019 in Mt. Hagen, both factions didn't sign to rebuild and restore peace until on Sunday 13th March 2022, they agreed to sign their Peace agreement.
