STATEMENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL ASHTI FOUNDATION

The International Ashti Foundation is proud to aounce that, since 2003, it has been recognizing and honoring individuals who have made outstanding contributions to peace, human dignity, social harmony, humanitarian service, and the well-being of humanity in different parts of the world through the presentation of the “Ashti Plaque of Appreciation.”

This initiative was established with the purpose of identifying, introducing, and honoring individuals who, regardless of geographical, cultural, ethnic, or social boundaries, have dedicated part of their lives and abilities to serving humanity and contributing to a more peaceful and compassionate world.

In 2026, in continuation of this longstanding mission and in recognition of the importance of providing practical support for humanitarian efforts, the International Ashti Foundation has decided to complement the presentation of the Ashti Plaque of Appreciation by allocating a total amount of US$110,000 as a form of appreciation and humanitarian support for the distinguished recipients of this initiative.

This financial support is intended to strengthen and expand humanitarian, charitable, scientific, social, medical, peace-building, and other activities that contribute to the well-being of humanity.

The Foundation expects the allocated funds to be utilized with transparency, responsibility, due diligence, and appropriate oversight, and specifically directed toward humanitarian purposes and initiatives that can create meaningful and measurable benefits for people and communities in need.

The International Ashti Foundation believes that honoring individuals who dedicate themselves to peace and humanitarian service is not merely an acknowledgment of personal achievement; it is also a way of honoring the culture of humanity, encouraging compassion, and inspiring others to contribute to peace and social responsibility.

Accordingly, the “Ashti Plaque of Appreciation” is not merely a commemorative award or honorary title. It represents the Foundation’s respect for individuals who have demonstrated through their actions that meaningful efforts can be made toward building a more peaceful, just, compassionate, and humane world.

The International Ashti Foundation hopes that this initiative in 2026 will contribute to broader cooperation among cultural, scientific, humanitarian, charitable, and social institutions around the world and serve as a meaningful step toward promoting lasting peace, human dignity, solidarity, and a better future for humanity.
