Our Annual International Bazaar is a beautiful testament of the generosity, unity, and unwavering commitment of our local and diplomatic community. First and foremost, I wish to express my deepest gratitude to our two honorary presidents, Madame Tatiana Valovaya and Ambassador Jürg Lauber. Their steadfast support has been a constant source of guidance and inspiration in all our endeavors. I also extend my sincere gratitude to our Bazaar Chairperson, Ambassador Tovar Nunes Da Silva, whose dedication and leadership have been instrumental to our success.

This event would not be possible without the strong partnership with UNOG and the active engagement of all the Permanent Missions. I am equally grateful to our incredible UN Women’s Guild volunteers and the Bazaar Committee. Their tireless work, passion, and teamwork are the true heartbeat of this celebration.

As we mark the 55th anniversary of UNWG this year, we proudly continue to uphold the two pillars that define our association: nurturing friendship and supporting vulnerable children in developing countries.

Thanks to the funds raised during the 2024 Bazaar, we were able to support 26 impactful projects worldwide, bringing hope and tangible assistance to children most in need. A full overview of these projects is included in this brochure.

I would also like to extend a special thank you to our generous lottery donors. Your contributions have made a meaningful difference, and we are proud to showcase your names and logos in this publication in recognition of your support.

On behalf of the UNWG, I extend my heartfelt thanks for your continued support and generosity.
