Many communities in the Philippines face ongoing challenges related to deeply-rooted societal issues, making peace-building initiatives essential for fostering unity and resilience.
At the Rotary Club of Fort Bonifacio Global City, we aim to contribute to building peaceful communities that are resilient in the face of challenges, fostering cooperation and unity across different sectors of society.
How We Make Help Happen: Our Impact on Peace-Building
RCFBGC peace and community-building initiatives focus on creating inclusive spaces that encourage understanding, collaboration, and conflict resolution. By engaging communities in meaningful dialogues and collaborative projects, we help to strengthen social resilience and unity in the face of local challenges.
RCFBGC makes amazing things happen, like:

The Gawad AKAP (Gawad Alay sa Kapayapaan) initiative, launched by RCFBGC, stands as a significant contribution to peace-building efforts in the Philippines. Featured in the May 2019 issue of Philippine Rotary Magazine, this program recognizes individuals and organizations making substantial contributions to peace processes in the country. Launched on September 24, 2018, at the Magsaysay Center in Manila, Gawad AKAP serves as both an awards platform and a public education tool, highlighting progress in peace negotiations with insurgent groups. The initiative, involving 52 Rotary clubs in District 3830, embodies Rotary’s commitment to conflict resolution and peace-building at both local and national levels.
