October, coming after the peak of the harvest season, is a natural time for reflection — a moment to consider not only what we have gathered, but also how we can support those still struggling to meet their basic needs. This month, three important days remind us that peace, food security, and equality are deeply interconnected. World Food Day — 15 October Access to enough nutritious food is essential for stable societies. According to the latest report from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 2024, around 673 million people worldwide faced hunger. Food insecurity can create fear and social instability. Ensuring everyone has reliable access to food isn’t just humanitarian — it’s a foundation for lasting peace. Communities thrive when their basic needs are met, reducing conflict and strengthening unity. International Day for the Eradication of Poverty — 16 October Poverty is more than a lack of money. It limits dignity, security, and opportunity. Millions live with constant uncertainty, which can create instability and division. Education, healthcare, and fair economic opportunities build resilient communities. Ending poverty is not only an act of compassion — it’s a strategic investment in social stability. United Nations Day — 24 October This day celebrates global cooperation and reminds us of our shared responsibility for a just world. The UN’s founding ideals — peace, dignity, and equality — continue to guide efforts toward fairness and understanding. As Kofi Annan said: "Peace is not merely the absence of conflict; it is the creation of conditions in which justice and human dignity can flourish." Across history, hunger and inequality have fuelled conflict. But when we nurture empathy, justice, and shared responsibility, we create the foundation for lasting peace. Every donation, volunteer action, or awareness campaign contributes to this goal.

Meet Nidhi Chouhan, a long-standing Peace Partners volunteer and a passionate advocate for practical peace. Based in West London, Nidhi brings a thoughtful blend of creativity, compassion, and strategic clarity to her work and volunteering.
Currently working as an Instructional Designer, Nidhi combines her expertise in learning strategy, content design, and human-centred thinking to develop engaging educational experiences, often shaped by her strong belief in empathy and lifelong learning. Her work bridges the worlds of corporate learning and humanitarian values, with a growing interest in Neurodidactics (brain-based learning). After joining as Charity Secretary in 2022, Nidhi will shortly be transitioning to an advisory role, continuing her journey with the team in a new capacity. Her connection to Peace Partners is rooted in her enduring appreciation for the message of peace shared by peace educator Prem Rawat. Over the years, this message has become a compass in both her personal and professional life, offering strength, clarity, and a reminder of the deeper purpose behind volunteering: “As a long-time admirer of Prem Rawat’s message, I’m grateful to support Peace Partners initiatives through creative and strategic roles. His words of peace have guided me through life’s challenges and inspired me to share peace in simple, meaningful ways.” Nidhi continues to support Peace Partners in various behind-the-scenes capacities, including content creation and media planning. Outside of her work and volunteering, Nidhi is deeply moved by classical Indian music and timeless literature. Her bookshelf features favourites like Hear Yourself by Prem Rawat, The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran, and Thus Spake Bhisma by M.M. Thakur, books that mirror her own journey toward inner growth and conscious living. We are delighted to have Nidhi as part of the Peace Partners team, and look forward to continuing our shared journey of peace and purpose! This short profile was prepared in collaboration with Olivera Stevanic as part of the new ‘Volunteers Voices' series – a space where our dedicated team members share their journeys and personal reflections.
