① Support for Peace Culture initiatives, further strengthened in connection with the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing in 2025
As we mark the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing and as the hibakusha grow older, the Foundation is looking ahead to the next decade and will strengthen its efforts in two key initiatives: raising international public awareness toward the abolition of nuclear weapons and providing peace education to younger generations in Japan and overseas (Reference material).
 Your generous donations, reflecting your heartfelt desire for peace, will be used effectively to support the Foundation's various peace-related activities outlined below.
 〔Examples〕
  • The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum will introduce new enhancements to its exhibits, including the "Exhibition on the Inhumanity of Nuclear Weapons" and the "Peace Education Exhibit for Children."
  • The Foundation conducts peace education for junior high school students and other participants from across Japan who attend the August 6 Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony, using discussions with local Hiroshima children.
  • The Foundation will strengthen its support for schools and enhance its engagement with teachers who play a leading role in promoting peace education, so that peace learning can spread nationwide and more students will choose to visit Hiroshima on their school trips as the culmination of their studies.
  • The Foundation will establish a structure that enables children in Hiroshima to engage in continuous peace-related volunteer activities throughout junior high school, high school, and university, and will also support peace-culture activities within schools across Hiroshima.
