South African actress, TV personality and human rights activist Nomzamo Mbatha has been a force to be reckoned with since she made her international debut as not only an actress but also following her appointment as one of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees – UNHCR – Goodwill ambassadors in 2019, with her journey beginning in 2017.
This agent of change has embarked on numerous journeys where she has been an advocate for the rights of others and used her voice to improve the standard of living for many families and children in our African and global countries
Upon her appointment in 2019, Nomzamo touched on her journey with the UNHCR sharing that “many people think this role is about giving but it’s also about receiving and understanding the human spirit, receiving empathy and understanding our common language as human being,” she shared with the UN Refugee Agency.
In a recent Instagram post, Nomzamo shared pictures of her rubbing shoulders with many international figures at the Earthshot Awards in Singapore.
The Earthshot Prize Organization defines the prize as “a global challenge based on five Earthshots – ambitious goals for 2030 to fix our biggest environmental problems.”
