INTERNATIONAL DAY : World Humanitarian Day 19 August

 

2022 Campaign

 

The best way to join the campaign is to share the profiles and other materials via your social media channels with

 

#ItTakesAVillage

and

#worldhumanitarianday.

 

Home to the campaign, the WHD website will launch on 12 August with easy-to-share feature content for social media and a toolkit to help humanitarian partners create and roll out material to highlight their work around the world.

It takes a village

There is a saying that goes: It takes a village to raise a child. Similarly, it takes a village to support a person in a humanitarian crisis. With record-high humanitarian needs around the world, this year’s World Humanitarian Day (WHD) builds on this metaphor of collective endeavour to grow global appreciation of humanitarian work

Whenever and wherever people are in need, there are others who help them. They are the affected people themselves always first to respond when disaster strikes and a global community that supports them as they recover. Far from the spotlight and out of the headlines, they come together to ease suffering and bring hope.

 

The 2022 WHD campaign shines a light on the thousands of volunteers, professionals and crisis-affected people who deliver urgent health care, shelter, food, protection, water and much more.

 

For this year’s WHD, we will use digital art to tell the stories of people in need and those who help them. At the centre of the campaign is a series of beautifully illustrated aid worker profiles that show the breadth and depth of humanitarian work and collectively symbolize the wider humanitarian village.
