🌍✨ International Day for Tolerance ✨🌍 On this important day, we celebrate the richness of our world’s cultures, expressions, and ways of being human. Tolerance is about respect and appreciation, not indifference. It’s about acknowledging universal human rights and freedoms, and recognizing the beauty in our diversity. As we work towards a more inclusive future, let’s continue to embrace diversity and build communities where respect for all is at the core. 💫 #AndanFoundation #TheAndanFoundation #MohamedNasheed #InternationalDayForTolerance #Respect #Diversity

For refugees and displaced people, migration is not a choice, but a desperate escape from violence, war, and persecution. When home becomes a place of danger, fleeing becomes the only option, even if it means facing the unknown. At the Andan Foundation, we stand in solidarity with refugees and displaced individuals, recognizing the urgent need for safety, dignity, and opportunity for all. 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

Let’s work together to make a meaningful impact and offer a brighter future to everyone. 🤝 #AndanFoundation #TheAndanFoundation #MohamedNasheed #Refugees #DisplacedPeople #GlobalSolidarity

🌍 We are delighted to highlight a testimonial from Humans in the Loop, one of the awardees of the 2024 MIT-Andan Prize for Refugee Inclusion! “As an organization committed to the professional development and livelihoods of refugees and conflict-affected people, we see the Andan Foundation as one of our most closely aligned partners. The MIT-Andan Prize for Refugee Inclusion, which we first received in 2020, helped to launch some of our most impactful training courses. We are honoured to be among the awardees of follow-up funding this year, which will be used for our advanced digital skills and English training programmes that support trainees in stepping into the global digital economy.” We are immensely proud to support Humans in the Loop in their vital work to empower refugees and conflict-affected individuals. Together, we can create lasting change! 💙 #AndanFoundation #TheAndanFoundation #MohamedNasheed #MIT-AndanPrize #HumansInTheLoop #MITSolve #EconomicInclusion

✨ We are thrilled to share a powerful testimonial from Hello World, a remarkable recipient of the 2024  MIT-Andan Prize for Refugee Inclusion! "With support from the MIT-Andan Prize for Innovation in Refugee Inclusion, Hello World has been able to expand in Nakivale and Bidibidi refugee settlements, reaching tens of thousands of refugees with access to clean power, high-speed internet, hardware, educational software, and training. This initiative ensures equitable access to digital services, online education, and digital employment. What we have learned is that staying in touch with family and friends is a top priority for refugees, as is finding their way back to employment. The Hello Hubs we built thanks to the MIT-Andan Prize are making both possible. Refugee justice is the issue of our time, and it is funding partners like the Andan Foundation, who prioritise dignity and inclusion, that are setting the agenda for the work ahead." We are proud to partner with Hello World in their mission to empower refugees and foster digital inclusion. Together, we can make a significant impact! 💙 #AndanFoundation #TheAndanFoundation #MohamedNasheed #MIT-AndanPrize #HelloWorld #MITSolve #DigitalConnectivity

This recognition means a great deal to us and will enable us to expand our efforts in supporting vulnerable displaced communities throughout Nepal.

This insightful statement highlights the remarkable resilience and strength that refugees demonstrate in the face of significant challenges. Despite the significant challenges they encounter, refugees possess the ability to rebuild their lives and positively impact society. 💪✨ At the Andan Foundation, we fully embrace Amela Koluder's vision. We see refugees as individuals who, like us, are navigating different circumstances. They are committed to reconstructing their lives and communities, driven by a desire to work, contribute, and secure a better future for themselves and their families. Rather than viewing refugees as victims, it’s crucial to recognize them as individuals with the potential to drive meaningful change and innovation. By supporting refugees, we are helping them in their survival and empowering them to create a brighter future. 🌟 Let us unite in our efforts to foster a more inclusive world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive! 🤝 #AndanFoundation #TheAndanFoundation #MohamedNasheed #Refugees #Resilience
