Prize for Women’s Creativity in Rural Life
Deadline: 31 March 2010
These prizes (US$1,000 each), awarded by the Women’s World Summit Foundation (WWSF) – an international non-governmental organisation (NGO) working towards the empowerment of women and children – aim to honour creative and courageous women and women’s groups around the world for their contributions to improving the quality of life in rural communities. At least 20 prizes will be awarded, and a donation of US$3 000 will be awarded for established organisations in Africa. The prizes are focused on drawing international attention to the laureates’ contributions to sustainable development, household food security, and peace, thus generating more recognition and support for their projects. A traveling exposition and a global poster will give visibility to all the prize winners. Find out more
