Prince Talal International Prize

On #InternationalDayEradicationofPoverty, we celebrate the incredible potential of grassroots innovation to transform lives and uplift communities. For years, the #Prince_Talal_International_Prize has recognized outstanding projects that create lasting, positive change. In 2018, the Prize focused on "No Poverty", aligning with #SDG1. That year, it spotlighted groundbreaking initiatives that impacted over 19,765 individuals in Afghanistan, Kenya, Rwanda, and Egypt: - In Afghanistan, efforts in Sarepul Province reduced poverty and gender inequality by improving household income.  - In Kenya, communities gained from irrigation farming, land acquisition, and self-employment. - In Rwanda, over 8,000 jobs were created, boosting local economies. - In Egypt, least fortunate women and vocational trainers received vital support for brighter futures. These efforts reflect our unwavering commitment to a world where every person has the chance to thrive.  Together, we can #EndPoverty and create a better future for all. Let’s continue this vital work. What steps will you take today to make a difference?
