In the face of the current challenges Lebanon is experiencing, UNICEF's Generation of Innovation Leaders (GIL) program continues to play a crucial role in empowering vulnerable young people.

Thanks to our valued partnership with UNICEF, we are proud to support this transformative program, helping young individuals turn their skills and innovative ideas into tangible opportunities that contribute to their communities’ growth and resilience. 💡🚀 At the Andan Foundation, we remain committed to fostering the next generation of leaders, even in the most challenging times. #AndanFoundation #TheAndanFoundation #MohamedNasheed #GILProgram #YouthEmpowerment #UNICEF

Reflecting on 1000 Days of War in Ukraine 🌍 We have recently marked a deeply significant milestone – 1000 days of the ongoing war in Ukraine. This conflict has caused widespread devastation, displacing families and resulting in profound suffering for millions of individuals. As we reflect on this milestone, it's crucial to acknowledge the impact it has had in Ukraine, as well as the wider effects of conflicts and crises that continue to affect countries across the globe. Many countries continue to face the challenges of war, with countless individuals affected by the harsh realities of violence and displacement. At the Andan Foundation, we remain committed to supporting those in need and contributing to efforts that promote peace, resilience, and recovery. We must consider how we can all contribute to global peace and support those who are most vulnerable during these ongoing crises. Our thoughts continue to be with all those affected, and we remain hopeful for a future where communities can rebuild and heal. 🌿 #AndanFoundation #TheAndanFoundation #MohamedNasheed #1000DaysOfWar #Peace

🌍✨ Today is World Children's Day! ✨🌍 At the Andan Foundation, we’re proud to join the global community in celebrating the power, potential, and rights of children everywhere. Every year on November 20, World Children's Day highlights the importance of protecting and promoting children's rights. This day is especially meaningful as it marks both the adoption of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child (1959) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), two milestone commitments in the fight for equality and opportunity for every child. 📜✨ This year, we reflect on the countless challenges children still face worldwide—particularly those impacted by conflict and displacement. At Andan, we are committed to advancing opportunities for displaced and refugee children to grow up in safe, empowering environments with access to education, health, and stability.

Let’s reflect on the challenges of forced migration and work together towards a world where these fundamental rights are accessible to everyone. 🤝💫 #AndanFoundation #TheAndanFoundation #MohamedNasheed #Refugees #DisplacedPeople #ForcedMigration
