The World's Children's Prize laureates are individuals or organisations that – over a long period and in difficult circumstances – have done outstanding work for children, in accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Meet the 2012 nominees!
Three amazing child right heroes have been nominated for the World’s Children’s Prize 2012: Anna Mollel from Tanzania, Sakena Yacoobi from Afghanista and Ann Skelton from South Africa.
The prize laureates become role models for millions of children, and people all over the world find out about their work for children. The prize money helps thousands of the world’s most disadvantaged children to a better life. So far, children in more than 80 programmes in more than 20 countries have been helped. Those who have received support include children who have been sex slaves, bonded domestic workers, debt slaves, refugees, and children orphaned by genocide or AIDS.
