Message from Kofi Anann
former Secretary-General of the United Nations

"We can build a better world for succeeding generations, if we only summon the will.

You are all, in your own way, nurturing the culture of peace for the sake of our children and grandchildren."

A mission worth striving for

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

We do this by:

  • installing WPF monuments worldwide
  • presenting flames to international decisionmakers
  • introducing peace education into schools worldwide through our WPF educational package
  • inspiring millions of people to take a few moments each day to align with the peace within
  • producing books, DVDs and CDs that teach peace through personal development
  • humanitarian projects.
