A Peace Pole is a monument declaring the message “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in the language of the country in which it is planted and usually several other languages.
The Peace Pole Project was started in Japan by Masahisa Goi (1916 – 1980), who dedicated his life to spreading the message, “May Peace Prevail on Earth”. Mr. Goi was greatly affected by the destruction caused by World War II and the bombs which fell on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Since 1986, Peace Poles are now the most recognized international peace symbol and monument the world over with more than 200,000 Peace Poles standing in almost every country throughout the world.
Rotary International has adopted Peace and Conflict Resolution as one of its seven areas of focus. Rotarians all over the world are encouraged to promote peace through service projects and community outreach.
