About African Students For Interfaith Tolerance
African Students For Interfaith Tolerance (ASFIT) is a registered non-governmental and non-profit youth-led organization working on conflict prevention, peace building, interfaith harmony and sustainable development through dialogue, advocacy and youth empowerment. It was founded on the 13th of May, 2019 after horrific terrorist attacks occurred in New Zealand and Sri Lanka the same year.
ASFIT is led by a team of dedicated and self-motivated young men and women who are working assiduously around for a peaceful and more just world.

1. Conflict Management and Peace building:
As a youth-led organization, we aspire to equip people especially young men and women with the requisite skills to transform, manage and resolve conflicts before they escalate into violence. We believe that conflicts are bound to occur in our everyday endeavors but with the right skills and dialogue violence can always be avoided.
2. Prevention/Countering of Violent Extremism
