Starting the new week by sending best wishes to all UN Volunteers in Niger.
The country just had a dangerous weekend. Alhamdulillah, all UN Volunteers are safe and as determined as ever to support Niger’s 🇳🇪 development.
Keep @ProgramVNUNiger in your thoughts
Une idée simple pour un impact géant !
Face à la sécheresse à Keita (Niger), le Volontaire ONU Maazou et le @WFP_Niger travaillent avec les communautés pour poser des "cordons de pierres". Le but ? Retenir chaque goutte de pluie pour sauver les terres agricoles.

FAO in Near East works to strengthen food systems, improve food security & eliminate hunger. We are jointly exploring more deployment of UN volunteers to help! Growing partnership is made possible by strong ideas fr FAO leaders & the amazing championship by Dr Hakim Elwaer. 🍀
The UN Volunteers programme helps @FAO attract talented young & experienced professionals who bring fresh perspectives, skills & innovation to our work. I encourage our Country Offices to make the most of this opportunity to strengthen our impact across the region. #UNVolunteers

“Some commitments don’t come with expiry date”
Hear, hear
Somewhere in a drawer there’s a @UNVolunteers badge from my @UNICEF days in Nicaragua. Recognition like this still lands, as some commitments don’t come with an expiry date. Then and now, proud to serve the general interest and uphold the values of the UN Charter.

Awards come and go. That inner fire, once it turns off, will be difficult to flame again. Keep it up, Saburi Chopra and UN Volunteers in India 🇮🇳. Onwards and upwards!
Congratulations to Saburi Chopra, UN Volunteer with @UNICEFIndia , on being honoured as the "Youth Icon of the Year" at Navpravah 2026.
