“It takes a community to be a voice for others when they may not know that they need one”.

NIVEK AMICHUND, International Migrants Day Ambassador 2021

Throughout human history, migration has been a courageous expression of the individual’s will to overcome adversity and to live a better life. International Migrants Day Ambassadors 2021 have been nominated by partner organisations for their extraordinary achievements and the contribution they make everyday to their communities.
