Gbowee Peace Foundation Africa (GPFA) was established in 2012 by Liberian peace activist, trained social worker, and Nobel Peace Laureate: Leymah Gbowee. We provide opportunities in 3 key areas to women and youth, as a way to ensure that future generations in Liberia are peaceful, reconciled, and empowered. These program areas are: Education, Leadership, Community Empowerment.

After winning the Nobel Peace Prize, Leymah established the Gbowee Peace Foundation Africa, which seeks to raise the next generation of peacebuilders and democratic leaders for Liberia and West Africa.

Leymah also serves as the Executive Director of the Women, Peace and Security Program at the Earth Institute at Columbia University. She advises numerous organizations working for peace, women's rights, youth, and sustainable development, and she travels internationally to advocate for human rights and peace and security.
