?? Recent Article Spotlight: Appe (2024) writes a timely article on how migrants engage in philanthropy. She finds that it is not quite analogous to the giving of families that have been anchored in one nation for multiple generations, and therefore different from the philanthropy captured in our research.?https://lnkd.in/e_pERYH5

We are pleased to share that Pamir Canadian Multiculturalism Council executives recently attended the Community's Networking Reception and Annual celebration, hosted by the Calgary Foundation. In 2023, the Calgary Foundation generously donated over $75 million to support more than 1,200 organizations in Calgary, significantly impacting our city. During the recent Vital Cities event in 2024, they presented some notable statistics from their Quality of Life report: - Despite Calgary being ranked highly as one of the most livable cities globally, 47% of Albertans are just $200 away from financial instability. - 46% of individuals are reducing their intake of fruits and vegetables, while 29% are worried about food shortages. - A concerning 78% of Calgarians do not feel secure walking alone downtown after dark. These figures highlight the continuous challenges we are encountering and stress the crucial role that community-focused organizations like the Calgary Foundation play in driving positive change. We express our gratitude to the Calgary Foundation for their dedicated efforts, and we, at Pamir Canadian Multiculturalism Council, proudly stand as a member organization. #TogetherWeCan ##TogetherWeRise #TogetherAsOne #yycrise #calgaryfoundation #pamircanadain #pamircanadianvolunteers #pamircanadianadvocates #glocalgoals #localgoals #yyclocalabove #calagrysdg

WWBT Needs Your Support: Help Us Raise $10,000 for Locals and Refugees in Lesvos! We’re excited to announce the next phase of our refugee and local support initiative on the island of Lesvos! ?? After years of providing critical services at our location in Moria, serving as the only women's and children's center on the island, we're moving our organization to the heart of Mytilene to a historic resettlement neighborhood built by refugees of Asia Minor over a century ago. ??This move will allow us to better serve the thousands of refugees who continue to arrive, offering vital services and a path toward independence. ?? Additionally, by focusing on the heart of Mytilene, we aim to strengthen the local economy, which in turn benefits the residents of Lesvos. ?? Our New Center Will: - Offer essential services like legal aid, educational programs, and outreach. ? - Offer job placement resources and directly boost the local economy. ?? - Provide a safe space for women and children to learn, heal, and grow. ?? - Connect refugees to resources near the hospital and local shops, ensuring access to medical care and daily needs. ?? ?? How You Can Help: Your contribution will directly fund the center’s move, ensuring more refugees have access to critical services. ?? 100% of proceeds go back into the local economy, helping both refugees and the Lesvos community build and thrive. ?? So far, we partnered with 23 local businesses, nonprofits, and advocacy groups on the island of Lesvos, and are aiming to expand! ?? Every dollar helps refugees gain the tools they need to build a future and integrate into society with dignity and purpose. Every dollar also helps locals of Lesvos support the local economy, local businesses, and partnerships with other organizations. ?? Please donate today via the link below, share this post, and be sure to DM us to get more involved! Be part of a solution that empowers the Lesvos communities and transform lives. Together, we can provide a brighter future for refugees and the local Lesvos community. ?? https://lnkd.in/eAKVUshf For more information about our organization, check out:?https://wwbt.org #humanitarianaid #wwbt #wwbthellas
