Migrant Leaders named Finalists at the European Diversity Awards 2025!

We are incredibly proud to share that Migrant Leaders has been named a finalist at the European Diversity Awards 2025  for a nomination in the Social Mobility Initiative of the Year category. 

👏 Celebrating Migrant Leaders and The Fardad Foundation at #EDA25 

This recognition reflects the heart of our work: empowering talented young people from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds through mentorship, opportunity, and community. It is a moment that belongs to the mentees, mentors, partners, and supporters who power this mission every day.

Here are just a few powerful voices from our June 2025 Impact Report:

“From the beginning, my mentor Parit played a critical role in my development… our regular catch-ups gave me structure, accountability and perspective.”
— Manvith Kankipati

“Migrant Leaders has played an instrumental role in my personal and professional development… particularly when it came to making challenging decisions that could have significantly impacted my career trajectory.”
— Terry Clement

“My Infineum internship with Migrant Leaders was a defining moment in my journey.”
— Sophy Thwe

“Since I have been matched with my mentor, the mist has begun to clear.”
— Antoana Micheva

This moment is not only a recognition of impact, but a celebration of resilience, ambition, and collective effort.

To our mentors, corporate partners, and community champions: thank you for making these journeys possible. We are honoured to be recognised among such a remarkable group of changemakers at EDA25.
