IPI-U.S. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that helps fund, and gives advice and technical assistance to IPI-Kenya, which runs all operations in Meru, Kenya. Specifically, IPI builds a new generation of leaders through peace and ethical leadership programs, and provides orphans, women living with HIV/AIDS, survivors of violence, and communities with the tools and resources to move from violence, poverty, and crisis to stability and self-reliance, thereby building resilient communities.

IPI runs the Kithoka Amani Children's Home. The mission of the Amani Home is to keep orphaned and vulnerable children in the community where they grew up, which preserves a child’s network of support. Children can continue to attend their local school and maintain close relationships with extended families while housing, food, education funding and training are provided by the Amani Home family. IPI provides full funding for primary and secondary schools for all Amani Home children. The College Scholars Program funds college degrees for determined high school graduates, helping to lift families out of the cycle of poverty.

IPI helps community women develop skills so they can support their families. These women are often widowed or with husbands who are ill or unemployed. IPI provides training in tailoring, jewelry making, weaving, hairdressing, and hospitality management.
