Home page intro
Migrants and diaspora communities are recognized for their invaluable role in society due to their rich cultural contributions, diverse voices, and their economic contributions to the countries they live in and come from, including philanthropy, entrepreneurship, and innovations. iDiaspora provides a platform to share your voice, to gain knowledge, and to engage with the global community committed to the importance of diaspora.
iDiaspora Can Help You Respond to Emergencies
Dear Anonymous,
We know there is nothing worse than being far away from your friends and family when a disaster strikes. It may be difficult to find information about what is really going on on the ground and sometimes we are frustrated because we want to help but we don’t know how. To try and help our community deal with these situations, we’ve built a new page into iDiaspora to help respond to emergency situations.
Cyclone Idai
Cyclone ldai, a category-4 cyclone made landfall near Beira City, Sofala Province in central Mozambique on 14th March 20 19, bringing with it extreme winds of up to 224km/h, torrential rains and flash floods. The situation compounded an already fragile population, with 141,000 people affected and 66 deaths recorded as a result of storms and flooding caused by the same tropical depression in the central region of Mozambique.

Contribute
There are many ways to give back but its not always easy to find an outlet for our efforts. iDiaspora aims to link those that want to make a difference with concrete opportunities to forge a better future.
Diaspora engagement has to potential to become a practice of choice for the public and private sector. We need to narrow the gaps in connectivity, knowledge and opportunity between these sectors to realize this potential. I sense iDiaspora is an important step-change in this journey and is a platform I look forward to seeing flourish.
