A Rotary Peace Pole is a monument that displays the message "May Peace Prevail on Earth" in different languages on each of its four or six sides. The poles are a symbol of the hopes and dreams of all people, and are intended to inspire unity among people of all cultures, ethnicities, and backgrounds. They are often placed in communities worldwide as part of Rotary's focus on peacebuilding and conflict prevention.
