GOOD FELLOWS - AFRICA GENERALSERVICE MEDAL (1902)

Awarded to David Papazian, Guildhall, London Global Wealth Conference Europe 2023

“It is much more a family thing than ANIF thing. We are spending time with people who need the care and attention. There is some element, surely, that is financial, but we believe that to have a proper impact on the person you must spend time as you would with your family, colleagues or loved ones.”

THE VANGUARD OF SUSTAINABILITY AND NATIONAL PROGRESS: HARNESSING RENEWABLES FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE

David believes that true wealth lies not only in financial resources or material possessions but in the quality of relationships and the impact we have on others' lives. He exemplifies this belief through his endeavors to make a di erence in the lives of those in need.

By spending time with individuals who require care and attention, he creates an environment akin to a supportive family, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment.

“You have to enshrine people not only with financial means or objects but also education and attention and the follow up. The model is for the moment, housing for children who have had bad experience within their family or who have no family, who will come together and basically recreate a family. So, it is much more of an educational model of philanthropy than financial one.”

His approach to philanthropy goes beyond financial aid. David Papazian advocates for an educational model of philanthropy, one that recognizes the importance of providing not just financial means or material objects but also education, attention, and ongoing support. His vision is to create a nurturing environment, especially for children who have faced adversity within their own families or lack familial support. By recreating a sense of family, he paves the way for personal growth and development, emphasizing the transformative power of education and genuine care.
