Special edition: Taking action here to take action over there.

Philanthropy is a reflection of the society in which it finds itself. In a context marked by accelerating globalization and intensification of international migrations, an important portion of donations circulates within the sociocultural pathways created by these migratory fluxes. In fact, the power of the social connection which unites migrants to their homeland communities is often impervious to geographic distance, with the institutionalization of mutual aid within diasporas being the proof. This represents a significant redistribution of wealth towards members of the community who need it most. Philanthropy of diasporas is a means of resource allocation, including financial, that greatly contributes to international development and allows for migrants to maintain their solidarity with the community in which they were born.
