Description
1) Objective
The Niwano Peace Foundation was set up in 1979 and has since operated a large grant-making program in support of research and activities that foster peace. The Foundation currently runs two grant programs:
- (1) Social activities based on a religious spirit: aActivities for individual and community welfare and peace, both physical and spiritual, based on a religious spirit that emerges from reverence for God, Buddha, or other universal spiritual reality. In particular, peace-making activities related to education, volunteer work, development cooperation, environmental protection, human rights or social problems of an aging society done in a spirit of religious tolerance which transcends religious boundaries.
- (2) Grass-roots activities deployed on a local community: Activities to vitalize local communities through interdisciplinary workshops and meetings with particular emphasis on collaboration by groups and individuals from diverse organizations and religious groups. It is expected to come up with some new values of the independent mind. Examples would be workshops and outreach programs to inspire the people to think about how people living in the far away countries are related to their own lives, or to encourage development of local activities in which people “think globally, and act locally.”
This year, the NPF is particularly interested in activities that address the following issues: Poverty; Migrants, Refugees and Internal Displaced Persons (IDPs); Gender disparity; Initiatives by religious organizations and believers to address social issues (including the use of religious facilities); Effective use of technology.
