This month we are celebrating the 80th birthday of His Excellency Ban Ki-moon's, who was the first recipient of the UNAFF Visionary Award. 🏅

Born on June 13, 1944, in Eumseong, South Korea, Ban Ki-moon's journey from a small village to the United Nations embodies his unwavering commitment to bettering humanity and fighting for human rights. As the eighth UN Secretary-General, he launched the Sustainable Development Goals and spearheaded the historic Paris Agreement, significantly advancing global efforts against climate change. His initiatives for human rights and gender equality, including UN Women, "UNiTE to End Violence Against Women," and "Every Woman Every Child," have profoundly impacted global advocacy. Recently honored with the prestigious Harmony Award by His Majesty King Charles, Ban Ki-moon's dedication to humanitarian causes and his ability to navigate complex international relations have earned him respect and admiration worldwide.

On this milestone, UNAFF reaffirms our commitment to his values, express gratitude for his tireless work, and honor his life dedicated to peace, sustainability, and human rights. 🌎🕊️🌱
