About Us

The Peace Center for Forgiveness and Reconciliation, Inc. (PCFR) is a not-for-profit organization based in Indianapolis, IN. When it received official 501(c)3 status in 2014, it fulfilled the dream of Founder & Executive Director, Mr. Kizito D. Kalima. Having survived the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, Mr. Kalima’s anger and desire for revenge nearly cost him his life. When Kalima discovered that forgiveness freed him from hatred, he dedicated his life to helping other survivors of violence. While earning a degree in criminal justice in the US, he reflected on his life and began to envision a space where genocide survivors and the perpetrators of violence could come together, forgive each other, reconcile, heal, and learn to live in peace. Building upon their experience and programs, the PCFR was founded, and over the years, with its life-changing programs, has become the place for transforming hostility, fear, and conflict into long-lasting peaceful relationships. PCFR Programs have expanded from their initial Focus on Genocide awareness and prevention to include Refugee Resettlement, Holistic Peacebuilding, Prevention and Response to Gender Violence, Psychosocial and Mental health Support, Advocacy for Refugee Rights, Youth Mentorship, and Development.
