ABOUT


Who We Are

We come from diverse backgrounds and lifestyles, each of us having found success in our respective professions and leading fulfilling lives. However, our shared pursuit of freedom led us to make the challenging decision to leave our homeland.
We have overcome obstacles in our new places of refuge and are now eager to use our experience, knowledge, and innovative ideas to contribute to our new home.
This is why we confidently declare:

"We understand the challenges, and we have the solution."

Why is Dafne

Resilience, Growth, and Transformation

DAFNE GOODNESS Foundation draws its inspiration from nature and mythology. Named after the Daphne tree and the mythological figure, our organization symbolizes resilience, growth, and transformation. Daphne, a nymph in Greek mythology, transformed into a laurel tree to escape Apollo's relentless pursuit, reflecting the idea of finding strength and refuge amidst adversity—a sentiment that deeply aligns with our mission..

Similarly, the daphne (laurel) tree represents endurance and renewal, thriving in diverse environments despite challenges. At the DAFNE GOODNESS Foundation, we are dedicated to providing people with the tools and support they need to flourish and grow in their new environments. Our goal is to foster a community where individuals can overcome obstacles and thrive, just like the daphne tree.

Note 1: 'Dafne' is a variation of 'Daphne,' spelled with 'F' instead of 'PH,' and is pronounced 'DAFF-nee.'

Note 2: Daphne and Laurel are essentially the same name—the former is Greek, and the latter is Latin.
