The Greek capital, Athens, hosted a unique humanitarian gathering that brought together a select group of businesswomen and women from diverse nationalities and cultures, as part of a charitable initiative aimed at raising funds for Kenyan children to provide clean drinking water in water-scarce areas, under the slogan
Water hats
The event witnessed the participation of Naïma Badawi, President of the Cultures Without Borders Association, along with the Moroccan artist Amal Tmar, Honorary President of the Don’t Touch My Child Organization, at the invitation of the Philanthropy International Organization (PIO), headed by Ms. Effie Papastelli, in a humanitarian initiative that emphasizes the importance of international cooperation to serve humanitarian causes, especially those related to children.
Naïma Badawi confirmed, in a statement on the sidelines of the forum, that her participation stemmed from her deep belief in the importance of engaging in support of African issues, considering that solidarity with children who face difficulties in accessing clean water represents a humanitarian and moral duty.
She added that the right to water is a basic human right, and it is essential to support initiatives that give children the opportunity to live in dignity, health and education, stressing the importance of strengthening joint efforts to achieve sustainable human development.
For her part, artist Amal Al-Tammar explained that this initiative is in line with the humanitarian message that the Matqish Waldi organization is working on, especially with regard to protecting children and defending their basic rights, noting that her artistic works have always carried social and humanitarian messages, including the film Dance of the Monster, which highlighted issues of childhood and community protection.
The meeting provided an opportunity to promote the values of solidarity and humanitarian cooperation among women from different cultures, who came together around a single goal: to give Kenyan children new hope for life by providing clean water, which is essential for health, stability, and development.
The initiative was widely praised by those present, who noted the growing role of women in leading cross-border solidarity and humanitarian initiatives, reflecting the power of joint action in serving global humanitarian causes.
