Peace Clubs

“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.
