From refugee to UN Volunteer. 💙 Didier knows what it feels like to hope for a better future from the most uncertain of places. Now he's the one helping others build theirs. This is what full-circle impact looks like. #IVY2026 #UNVolunteers #Refugees

[UN Volunteers @UNVolunteers]

UN Volunteer Didier grew up as a refugee.

Now, he assists @refugees as a UN Volunteer, helping others build the future he once hoped for 💙

Rights only matter when they reach the people who need them most. 💙 In 🇲🇬 Madagascar, UN Volunteer Pierre Yvan is bridging the gap between big ideals and real lives — making sure communities don't just hear about their rights, but actually live them. #IVY2026 #VolunteerYear

[UN Volunteers East and Southern Africa @UNV_ESARO]

Human rights can sound like @UN jargon.

But they are the building blocks of a fair society.
The right to be heard.

To be treated fairly.

To participate.

UN Volunteer Pierre Yvan helps communities in Madagascar turn these ideals into reality.

When a cyclone tore through eastern 🇲🇬 Madagascar, Soalalaina didn't wait for instructions — she mobilised 200+ young volunteers and got to work. Lives saved. Children protected. Families supported. This is what volunteer power looks like in real time. 💙 #IVY2026 #UNVolunteers

Saving lives. Protecting children & families.

Volunteer action makes such fast support possible.

People first. Always. 💙 UNV's mission is built on two powerful pillars — a people-centred United Nations and volunteerism as a driving force for sustainable development. When both work together, real change follows. 🌍 #IVY2026 #VolunteerYear #UNVolunteers

[UN Volunteers @UNVolunteers]

1⃣ Contributing to a people-centred @UN
2⃣ Promoting volunteerism globally as a key part of sustainable development

Two outcomes reinforcing UNV’s role across the @UN system and its role in shaping volunteerism globally.

Dear UN Volunteers in #Myanmar 🇲🇲, thank you.

After the 2025 earthquake, you assessed 2,400+ damaged homes in Mandalay and helped 1,800+ households rebuild safely.

Thousands of families are closer to safe homes because of you.

This is what it looks like when volunteers get a seat at the table. 🙌 UN Volunteers in 🇲🇺 Mauritius sat down with UNV Executive Coordinator @ToilyKurbanov for an open townhall — sharing experiences, asking bold questions and being truly heard. That's the power of community.

[UNV in Madagascar, Comoros, Mauritius & Seychelles @UNVIndianOcean]

Greetings from the @UNVolunteers in Mauritius 🇲🇺 during this townhall meeting with UNV Executive Coordinator @ToilyKurbanov

A round-table discussion where the volunteers were able to share their experiences, ask questions and listen to @ToilyKurbanov's statements.

Healthcare is only as strong as the systems behind it. In 🇲🇺 Mauritius, UN Volunteers are not just building digital health infrastructure — they're making sure it stays human. Technology with a heart. #IVY2026 #DigitalHealth

[UN Volunteers East and Southern Africa @UNV_ESARO]

In Mauritius🇲🇺, healthcare is going digital.

UN Volunteers with @UNDPMauritius are helping build the systems behind it — and bringing a human face to the country’s national e-health project.

Digital transformation should leave no one behind — and that includes market vendors. In 🇵🇪 Peru, 68 UN Volunteers are on the ground making sure small traders have the tools to thrive — from digital payments to tracking sales and growing their customer base.

[Shoko Noda @shokonoda]

In #Peru 🇵🇪, our @UNVolunteers are making digital transformation inclusive.

At @PNUDperu, 68 UN Volunteers are empowering market vendors - teaching them to use digital payments, keep track of sales and reach more customers.

A diagnosis doesn't define you — your choices do. Besmira refused to be reduced to her condition and instead turned her story into fuel for change. Today, as a @UNICEF volunteer, she's making sure young voices reach the halls of Parliament. 💪 #IVY2026 #VolunteerYear

[UN Volunteers @UNVolunteers]

“I never wanted to be defined by my condition,” Besmira decided & has lived by that choice ever since.

After a life-changing diagnosis, she chose action over pity. Now as @UNICEF volunteer 🇦🇱, she brings youth input into policy, all the way to Parliament. https://t.co/jvtpfsgCUG

[Mr Focus @Mrfocus_Ke]

Real change starts with a choice — the choice to show up, to serve, and to act. This #VolunteerYear, don't just witness change. Be it. #IVY2026 #CSW70

[UN Volunteers @UNVolunteers]

“I have seen how #volunteers often stand at the very frontline of change.”

Former volunteer and now @unwomenid 🇮🇩 representative Ulziisurzen Jamsran knows it first-hand: rights only become real when people choose to act.

This #VolunteerYear, choose action.

#CSW70 #IVY2026

[UN Volunteers @UNVolunteers]

“We took off our boots, crossed the river on foot and walked 6–7 kilometres to reach the community.”

After Cyclone Freddy hit #Mozambique 🇲🇿, she ensured girls affected by child marriage were counted and not left out of emergency support.

That is what ACTION looks like.

[UN Volunteers East and Southern Africa @UNV_ESARO]

Across East & Southern Africa, UN Volunteers are defending rights, demanding justice and taking action.

🟠They serve.
🔵They lead.
🟢They inspire.
