John & Kay Hodge

John and Kay launched Seek Peace in 2021. They offer consulting, training and grant funding for faith-motivated, evidence-led peacebuilding.

Seek Peace partner with churches and faith-based organisations to promote the tenets of forgiveness, justice, truth-telling and reconciliation by supporting them to plan, deliver and reflect on the impact and sustainability of their peacebuilding work.

“In 2021, we took on the funding and oversight of five ICT Training Centres, which are designed to promote peace between Islamic and Christian factions in violent hotspots in northern Nigeria.”
