The World We Envision

This Giving Tuesday and for this Holiday season we are proud to share with you a short video about the world we envision.

Over the past few years our work has taken us from the streets of Istanbul to the mountains of Kazakhstan and countryside in Lithuania, to the UNHQ in New York and beyond. 

In this video we try to capture the essence and beauty of unity and peace that is to be found in all these places, among all the people we have had the pleasure of working with.

In recent years the world has seemed divided. We've been polarized by politics, by authoritarianism, a lack of faith in institutions we built to protect our freedoms, by global events and challenges. 

Amidst this it's key that we keep working, that we keep pushing on, to face the challenges of humanity straight on, that we keep working to maintain peace, dignity and unity, even in the places that historically have been beacons of hope for humanity.  

Your support empowers and enables us to do this. To work for a world in which diversity is celebrated in strength, where the future is determined by those who will inhabit it, where peace is built with community in mind, where extremism and radicalization is challenged in all its forms.

So thank you so much for your continued support. May we create a better future together.
