National Peace Accord Trust (NPAT) is a non-profit organisation focused entirely on healing and reconciliation in South Africa.

This means breaking the cycles of violence, trauma and despair experienced by many communities across the country and restoring functional and stable community life.

This can only be achieved through professional interventions. Through its extensive historical network of peace workers, and in conjunction with the Department of Health and Welfare, NPAT focuses on communities requiring curative support.

It identifies leaders as potential development workers within these communities and provides them with on-the-job training, leading to professional certification as Restorative Community Workers.

TRAINING FOR PEACE

NPAT's interventions take place primarily, but not exclusively, in deep-rural communities.

Through focused training these interventions provide individuals, groups, communities, NGOs, government departments and community-based organisations with a therapeutic focus for further collaboration and community building in an ever-widening circle of healing.

Additionally, NPAT provides specialist skills training such as trauma management, trauma awareness, containment and resource management.
