Peter Hildebrand Meienberg (27 November 1929 – 3 December 2021) was a Swiss Benedictine missionary who spent more than 50 years in East Africa working on refugee aid, prison reform, education, and other social determinants of health.[1] He is known for the establishment of Faraja Foundation in Nairobi, a humanitarian relief organization, as well as his prominent work on women's prison reform that has become the blueprint of prison reform across Kenya.[2] Besides humanitarian work, Meienberg was also a published author of a Tanzanian Civics textbook and various hymnbooks.[3]
