7%.
⠀⠀
That’s how much humanitarian funding is delivered through local actors.
Yet these are the very people who understand local needs, have earned people’s trust and remain part of the solution long after the emergency ends.
⠀⠀
UN Volunteers are the 7% worth investing in.

No matter the role, they are all UN Volunteers, with the same commitment to serve the @unitednations🇺🇳

“What is essential is invisible to the eye.”
– The Little Prince

Volunteering means believing in change before it’s visible—no need for recognition or grand gestures, just the quiet act of planting seeds of human potential. 🌱

In Timor-Leste 🇹🇱, #UNVolunteers supported efforts to raise awareness on ending violence against women and girls. Through community outreach and training, they helped promote justice, safety, and dignity for all.
