Diar Logo Description
The logo is a representation of the Diar foundation’s vision and mission and our founder’s story of being a war survivor, their experiences during the wars, and her yearning for a better place to live. Yearning for a better place in life is exactly what people do; people need to reach their full potential and thrive in the case of someone experiencing refugee life, displacement, and homelessness, they first need to have their most basic human needs met reliably every day. The logo has three significant symbols, namely, the Tree, the Sun, and the Bricks wall.
The Sun
The Sun is a symbol of women’s hope for tomorrow and gives full light to everyone in the community.
Self-Esteem and Self-Actualization
Gaining confidence and the respect of others is an important step for people working to maintain a sustainable life for example GBV and other harmful cultural practices. Only after finding love and belonging, can people then work on building healthy relationships with themselves and others. Self-Actualization We all crave a purposeful life. There’s nothing more rewarding than feeling like you’ve reached your highest potential. However, this final step looks and feels different for everyone.
Love and Belonging
Everyone yearns for family and connection. For people living in the refugee/displacement camps and on the streets, it can be specifically hard to find a welcoming community. Many women and children are traumatized and find themselves without housing after experiencing domestic violence, abuse, or addiction, and mental health challenges. Many people living unhoused find themselves estranged from family and friends.
The Living Tree
The living tree is a symbol of life (new life after suffering), which in turn provides shelter/solutions to the community; a living tree enhances the image of providing shelter and it symbolizes Peace in societies; under the living tree is where communities conduct their activities and development businesses.
