Inspiring Future Generations

"Nothing we do changes the past, but everything we do now creates the future - the future of our children"

World Peace Flame lanterns in Japan.

The World Peace Flame

has been and continues

to be a symbol of

peace, unity, freedom and

celebration.

Join us in celebrating the World Peace Flame and perform an act of kindness.

Make a difference to someone’s life. Make today special - which of course is an open invitation to then continue and make every day a special day for yourself and the people around you. By design.

One kind gesture, one conversation, one thought at a time.

 

Thank you!

A Powerful Mission with a Global Vision

Imagine if every man, woman and child in every nation and country, from every religion and creed, were united in peace. Our dream is as simple as its ambitious, one flame uniting people worldwide.

Spreading Peace

The World Peace Flame is dedicated to achieving peace through education and practical support of grassroots peace initiatives.

Peace Education in Action

A legacy of peace starts with children.
That is why we have developed the Peace Education Package which we offer to schools for free.

Peace education in action

Education is the key to lasting peace

Approaching 1000 schools across five continents are using the package. That’s more than 80,000 children who are learning to celebrate the diversity they see around them and who are being encouraged to embrace the unity.

Humanitarian Projects

Our humanitarian projects in India aim to empower people at all levels from medical camps to youth education programmes and with clothing and food distribution.

Free Medical Camps

Doctors and Consultants give their time and expertise to help impoverished people in villages and tribal areas where we arrange the Free Medical Camps.

About 30,000 patients have received free medical care in impoverished communities in Gujarat, India.

Our volunteers serve people irrespective of creed and religion. We also support with donations of dentistry and medical supplies.

Education Projects

Many children in impoverished countries do not have what they need to go to school so they don’t get an education.

We’ve distributed over 14,000 education kits (pens, paper, books etc.) and also school uniforms, so that more children can go to school.

Plus, we’ve covered the cost of education fees for over 200 children and nurses.

Education Projects

Free Eye Clinics

Since the first medical camp started in 2005 we have provided well over 2000 cataract operations and 7000 pairs of free spectacles.

Each cataract operation costs a donor only €30.

“To see the joy in someone’s face when the bandages are removed from their eyes and they can see again is the most wonderful experience you could have.”
