Giustra Foundation

Today, on #WorldHumanitarianDay, we recognize the remarkable courage and dedication of humanitarians worldwide. As climate challenges grow, their work becomes even more vital. We honour their resilience and commitment to supporting those in need.

The Giustra Fellowship @GiustraFdn empowers early-career experts from countries in crisis to contribute to our conflict prevention efforts. In this video, we hear from Fellow @AmoryLumumba and his work in Maroua, Cameroon. Learn more: crisisgroup.org/giustra-fellow…

Each year, early-career experts from countries in crisis are named Giustra Fellows for their work on conflict prevention and mitigation @CrisisGroup. Thanks to co-chair @Frank_Giustra for your leadership and support. Today, we look back at some of our fellow’s achievements ⬇️

The human toll of war and crisis has rarely been as devastating as today. 103 million people are currently forcibly displaced worldwide. At @CrisisGroup, we believe that the benefits of conflict prevention far outweigh the costs of war. #WorldHumanitarianDay2023
