Bpeace- The Business Council For Peace

Bpeace gives business people the opportunity to have an active role in building peace.

At Bpeace it doesn't matter what your political affiliation is, or what your views are of your country's foreign policy. We are an apolitical group of more than 200 volunteers. What we share is a belief that business can create peace. Why? As Clint Eastwood said in A Fistful of Dollars, "Once a man has some money, peace begins to sound good to him."

We have programs underway in Afghanistan and Rwanda.

Bpeace, founded in 2002 and headquartered in New York City, is a non-profit international network of volunteer business people.

Our belief is that when women are stronger economically, they have a stronger voice for peace in their local communities and societies.

In conflict or post-conflict regions, we select and assist the businesswomen most likely to succeed. These are women who demonstrate high potential by already operating businesses (against all odds and sometimes cultural norms), being literate in their own language and demonstrating a real commitment to creating jobs for others in their country.
