Peace Palette is a nongovernment organisation based in Turalei, Twic State, South Sudan as well as Melbourne, Australia. We at Peace Palette take a strengthbased, locally relevant, culturally appropriate approach to cultivate homegrown solutions with a view to sustain a stronger, resilient, and harmonious society. Since our start in 2012, Peace Palette has grown into a strong and wellsupported organisation providing effective and essential peacebuilding and development support to people in Turalei. In Twic State where Peace Palette operates, there is a basketball court built by the former NBA player, late Manut Bol whose legacy continues to inspire youth today. Peace Palette conducts a Sport for Peace project, using the existing basketball court to build interstate and intertribal friendship and relationship among young people to prevent future cattle rustlings and tribal conflicts.

International Activities

Peace Palette provides a platform for sport participation and peace-building training among youth to build their capacity to actively contribute to peace-building and prevention of cattle rustlings – at an early age. Peace Palette conducts a Sport for Peace project in Twic State, using the existing basketball court to build inter-state and inter-tribal friendship and relationship among young people to prevent from future cattle rustlings and tribal conflicts. This has so far inspired many young people who are also inspiring the younger generation who would come to the basketball court often to join part of the movement.
