Who we are


We come from diverse backgrounds and walks of life, and we have all found success in our respective professions while enjoying fulfilling lives. However, our pursuit of freedom led us to make the challenging decision to leave our homeland behind.
We persevered through challenges in our places of refuge and are now eager to use our experience, knowledge, and innovative ideas to contribute to our new homeland.

That's why we proclaim with confidence that ...

 We understand the challenges, we have the solution.

Why is Dafne


DAFNE GOODNESS Foundation draws inspiration from both nature and mythology.
Named after the daphne tree and the mythological figure, our foundation symbolizes resilience, growth, and transformation. Daphne was a nymph who transformed into a laurel tree to evade Apollo's pursuit, embodying the idea of finding strength and refuge amidst adversity, a sentiment that resonates deeply with our mission.
Similarly, the daphne [laurel] tree represents endurance and renewal, thriving in diverse environments despite challenges.
At DAFNE GOODNESS Foundation, we are committed to providing individuals with the resources and support they need to flourish and grow in their new environment. We strive to foster a community where individuals can overcome obstacles and thrive, just like the enduring daphne tree.

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

Note-2: Daphne and Laurel are actually the same name. The former is Greek and the latter is Latin.
