Goi Peace Foundation is a public benefit organization supported by members around the world working together to create a culture of peace.

After witnessing the terrible destruction of the Second World War, Masahisa Goi started a world peace movement to spread the universal message and prayer May Peace Prevail on Earth, as a way to unite the hearts of humanity transcending all boundaries of culture
