Addressing the Root Causes of Conflict Through Education, Equity, and Empathy

As a humanitarian organization, peace is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that when people work to build peace in their communities, the impact extends far beyond borders, creating a ripple effect that can transform the world.

Through service projects, peace fellowships, and scholarships, we take meaningful action to address the root causes of conflict—poverty, discrimination, lack of access to education, and inequality in resources. By tackling these issues, we help lay the foundation for more just and resilient societies.

Today, Rotary’s commitment to peacebuilding is more cohesive, inclusive, and action-driven than ever. We are broadening the definition of peacebuilding and creating more opportunities for people to get involved. Whether through grassroots initiatives or global partnerships, we work to make a lasting impact in communities around the world.

Grounded in empathy, collaboration, and service, Rotary’s peacebuilding initiatives reflect our unwavering commitment to a better, more connected world. Here are just a few ways we’re putting peace into action.
