“A Peace Club” is made of peace lovers and peacemakers who envision sustainable world peace through meditation and mindfulness practices. A Peace Club is a non-political and non-religious organization. It is also a community-based group of at least 10 active members, with no age limit. Peace Clubs in Africa create changemakers that promote sustainable solutions by combining inner peace with community projects to establish better and sustainable African societies. Peace club members meet on a regular basis to reflect and take action for positive social impact.

Peace Clubs | Impact

As groups of like-minded people aiming for social change and sustainable development, Peace Clubs organize various activities including community projects for youth and women empowerment, leadership and motivational workshops, social support for vulnerable people, sensitization campaigns in schools and universities about peace, sustainable development and environment protection. Through their activities, Peace Clubs INITIATE - IMPACT - INSPIRE and CONTRIBUTE to social positive changes using meditation and mindfulness practice.

In 2022, Peace Clubs’ activities reached 39,811 people all over Africa.

Frequently Asked Questions

1How could someone create a peace club?

A new Peace Club has to submit the application form in the www.wpifoundation.org to be considered as an official club by WPI and needs to attend a meeting with a regional coordinator (RC) to understand the objectives and obligations to develop the club.

2How to choose my Peace Club’s name?

A Peace Cub name has to follow the same pattern which is “City name” Peace Club of “Country” and this full name will be shown in the certificate while the shorter name can be used in normal practice. For example, Nyamata Peace Club of Rwanda. This is to make our Peace Clubs more well-known on the international level.
