World Humanitarian Day 2025
World Humanitarian Day is an international day dedicated to recognizing humanitarian personnel and those who have died working for humanitarian causes. Designated by the United Nations General Assembly, this day honors the efforts of those who risk their lives in the service of others. Observed on August 19th, it commemorates the tragic loss of Sérgio Vieira de Mello, the then Special Representative of the Secretary-General to Iraq, and 21 of his colleagues in the bombing of the UN Headquarters in Baghdad.
This content addresses SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG-10 (Reduced inequalities), aligns with the World Health Organization’s goal to promote universal health coverage, and aims to help close the health treatment gap that keeps remote, underserved communities from accessing needed quality health services.
This chapter supports UN SDG3 and discusses how Indigenous communities are grounded in the connections among people and between people and the natural world. Especially important is the wisdom of elders and the knowledge that comes from culturally embedded teachings and how unique technological tools can aid in strengthening self-esteem and well-being and rebuild core cultural relationships.
