S’engager à changer le monde, un geste à la fois

Depuis que je suis mère, je tiens de plus en plus à contribuer à la création d’un monde meilleur dans le futur. L’une des choses que j’aime le plus de mon travail chez IKEA, c’est de savoir que notre mission est « d’améliorer le quotidien du plus grand nombre ». Je suis fière de savoir que chacun de mes gestes et que chacune de mes décisions améliore d’une certaine façon le quotidien des gens.

En novembre 2019, j’ai été choisie avec quatre autres collaborateurs de IKEA Canada pour voyager en Eswatini, en Afrique, et témoigner du travail qui y est effectué par Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) avec l’appui de la Fondation IKEA. En Eswatini, c’est dans ce pays où l’incidence du VIH est la plus élevée au monde. Le taux de gens atteints de la tuberculose est également critique. Le projet Eswatini de MSF offre à la communauté des traitements contre le VIH et la tuberculose, ainsi que des services d’éducation et des infrastructures sanitaires.

Les personnes qui travaillent pour MSF sont dévouées. Nombulelo fournit des services d’éducation sanitaire pour enseigner aux membres de la communauté comment utiliser les tests d’autodépistage du VIH et les sensibiliser aux risques et à la prévention du VIH. Autrefois, ce genre de discussion était considéré comme tabou, mais grâce au travail de sensibilisation de MSF, les communautés sont désormais aptes à se protéger elles-mêmes et à faire les bons choix pour prévenir la propagation du VIH et de la tuberculose.

Le projet a permis de créer des cliniques de santé communautaire dans les centres urbains faciles d’accès où les gens se rendaient déjà, comme les quartiers commerçants. Nombre de patients doivent marcher de deux à trois heures à l’aller et au retour pour recevoir de l’aide médicale, et c’est pourquoi ces cliniques communautaires rendent les soins de santé beaucoup plus accessibles pour la majorité des gens.

À la fin de notre voyage, nous avons demandé au personnel de MSF et à nos hôtes locaux comment nous pouvions les aider. Ils nous ont simplement demandé de faire part de leurs témoignages et de partager notre expérience en Eswatini, et c’est pourquoi je vais continuer de sensibiliser les gens qui m’entourent sur ce sujet. Je me sens engagée à partager mon expérience et ce que j’ai vu. Et je me sens engagée à changer le monde par mes gestes.

  • 👆Here’s what it’s like to learn about climate solutions firsthand.

Last month, 37 IKEA Foundation ambassadors from 10 countries came together in Indonesia to meet leaders working on the country’s net zero transition and learn straight from the organisations making it happen.

🌏 We held black soldier fly larvae, heard stories about fishing boats now running quietly on electricity, asked key questions about switching to electric vehicles, and took an electric bus to a village where solar panels on the market roof are already saving money and cutting emissions.

One thing is clear: solutions are already out there. They’re led by local communities and ready to grow. 

Thank you to our partner @viriyaenb for making these connections possible and introducing us to @iesr.id, @magifarm.id, @newenergynexus, and @wriindonesia. We appreciate your openness, generosity, and leadership.

💬 To everyone who joined us in Indonesia, what moments stood out to you?

  • 🍄 “What we do matters.” That’s the lasting message from Daughters of the Forest.

The film follows Eliseete and Julieta, scientists from Indigenous communities, and the women around them, revealing how science weaves together with ancestral wisdom, and inviting us to see nature as a web of connection, mutual respect and care.

It reminds us that climate solutions often grow from local knowledge and lived experience. Recognising and valuing these insights is key to a sustainable, resilient future. By sharing stories like this, we can help shift perspectives and inspire climate action.

Through our partnership with @thedocsociety’s Climate Story Fund, the IKEA Foundation supports storytelling that brings forward underrepresented perspectives and engages wider audiences in climate action.

  • Today, we celebrate our founder, Ingvar Kamprad, on what would have been his 100th birthday.
 
Ingvar’s influence goes far beyond what he built. He inspired curiosity, humility, and a constant drive to improve, always rooted in everyday life.
 
That thinking continues to guide our work at the IKEA Foundation. Together with our partners, we are working to fight global warming with and for the many people, so everyday life can be better, now and in the future.
 
As Ingvar said, “Most things still remain to be done. A glorious future!”

There is still much to do. We move forward together.
 
Happy birthday, Ingvar. 💙
