On August 19, 2003, a bomb attack killed 22 people, including Sergio Vieira de Mello, at the Canal Hotel in Baghdad, drawing global attention.
To honor these heroes, the UN General Assembly declared August 19 as World Humanitarian Day (WHD).
A dedicated UN diplomat, Sergio's legacy inspired the creation of a foundation in his name.
Themes each year aim to unify global humanitarian efforts. 2023's theme emphasizes collective action.
Join campaigns, events, and support NGOs to uplift and champion humanitarian causes.
Founded in 2006, the foundation promotes peace, co-existence, and recognizes humanitarian efforts.
This WHD, let’s remember, recognize, and support those who work selflessly for a better world.
