Myriad Alliance

#ICYMI Founded by Lydia Charles Moyo, Her Initiative aims to break the cycle of poverty by promoting the rights, the empowerment, and the financial resilience of young women and girls across Tanzania. “Technology is one of our biggest strengths, because we need to be more inclusive—it’s not just about bridging the gender divide, but also the rural-urban digital divide,” says Lydia.  Lydia was awarded the Global Citizen Prize earlier this year. And then in June, Her Initiative received the Africa Prize of the Brussels-based King Baudouin Foundation, in recognition of its work to unlock women’s economic potential, tackle youth unemployment, and accelerate economic and social development in sub-Saharan Africa. Worth 200,000 Euros, the Africa Prize rewards outstanding contributions to development in Africa, initiated and led by Africans. Myriad USA will shine a spotlight on the remarkable achievements of HER Initiative during a 10-day roadshow in the United States, covering Washington DC, Boston, New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area. Through its ‘Friends of Her Initiative’ at Myriad USA, Her Initiative aims to raise awareness of its work and expand its network of supporters.

The humanitarian crisis in Lebanon continues to worsen. Our trusted local partner in Lebanon, the Development for People and Nature Association (DPNA) has launched an emergency appeal to deliver urgent humanitarian assistance to those affected, including food, water, medical supplies, and other essential resources. Support their vital efforts here: https://lnkd.in/eKifzEMi In 2003, a desire to promote peace, freedom, justice, equality, economic development and environmental sustainability brought together a diverse group of Lebanese social activists. It led to the creation of the Development for People and Nature Association (DPNA), a grassroots nonprofit that takes its lead from the people it serves. You can read more about their inspiring story in the latest issue of our Insights below. https://lnkd.in/eBVGmRV3

This week, we had the privilege of meeting Olivier Vandecasteele, founder of Protect Humanitarians, during a conference in Ottawa and a meeting in Montreal.   Our discussions focused on the key challenges in the humanitarian sector and the objectives of this NGO. Protect Humanitarians is committed to providing medical, material, and legal support to humanitarian workers facing emergencies, while also fostering the exchange of best practices to improve psychological and legal aid for those impacted by attacks.   Their work is a crucial reminder of the need to protect those who dedicate their lives to helping others, and to raise awareness among decision-makers and the public about these ongoing risks.
