Songs for World Peace is a global initiative uniting musicians from around the world to promote peace through the power of music. Its mission is to release more than 190 songs from over 190 musicians representing 190+ countries, performed in 70+ languages, all centered on the theme of world peace.
The movement is rooted in the belief that every country has a song about peace and every musician carries a unique vision of what peace looks like.
Founded at the start of the COVID pandemic in 2020, the project was brought to life by Natalia Karaseva alongside Co-Founders Utako Toyama and Yoshie Nakayama. On September 21, 2020, International Day of Peace, the initiative launched with songs from more than 60 countries in collaboration with UN Women San Francisco Bay Area Chapter, Musicians Without Borders, art27, and Together Productions.
Songs for World Peace believes that, especially in difficult times, music has the power to create unity and restore hope and joy across the world.
Reasons to Stay is a suicide prevention project reaching people at difficult moments through anonymous letters written by volunteers.
Each letter on this site was written by a real person and delivered to you at random when you visited this page.
This space exists as a reminder that we are not alone, even when it feels that way. There is someone, somewhere who wrote you a letter because they care.
If you’d like to, you can write your own letter to a stranger, offering warmth, hope and connection to someone when they need it most.
This project was designed in memory of Sam West, who took his own life in 2018.
If you’re struggling right now, reaching out to a support service or someone you trust could really help.
