Heal the World
Heal the World with Love and Dignity
A service organisation is never static, and the way it fulfils its fundamental mission must be adapted to the circumstances of an ever-changing world. A strong and sustainable movement is one that is resilient and prepared to respond quickly and comprehensively in times of crisis.
Let us not miss the opportunity to turn these troubled times into a Y’s Men’s milestone.
Heal the World with Love and Dignity
IP Slogan 2021/22
International engagement & organisational solidarity
YMI is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic with Heal the World, a global initiative that envisions stronger international engagement and organisational solidarity achieved through cooperative and aligned projects at all levels addressing specific needs, bringing relief and hope into a world ravaged by the coronavirus.
Unified Global Project
As our organisation’s new Unified Global Project (UGP), management and funding will primarily be sourced through the existing Time of Fast (TOF) programme. The goal is to reach CHF 300,000 in TOF contributions annually by adding incentive, excitement, unity and relevance. Independent donations to specific projects will also be accepted.
Projects will also benefit from the support of the Heal the World network, a working space (powered by Workplace from Facebook). The YMI Workplace community aims to bring together the collective resources of our members (knowledge, finance, skills) to leverage them in an inclusive and intelligent manner to optimise our abilities, our impact and our brand identity. It is a place for purposeful, cross-border fellowship and empowerment and the individual and organisational levels.
