On November 2, seven changemakers will be given the World of Children Award, for helping transform the lives of vulnerable children across the world. The award, which is also called “Nobel Prize for children,” is given annually and it includes a cash grant of up to $50,000. All the seven awardees have done exceptional work to improve the lives of thousands of vulnerable children, in different countries.
The World of Children Award has been using an extensive vetting process for the last 14 years, to identify individuals who have created pioneering programs and provided outstanding services to improve the lives of children. The funds granted through the award help to boost the efforts of these individuals. All the leading humanitarian organizations hail and applaud the thorough research and the extensive vetting process employed to identify the programs that have helped improve the overall life-quality of children across the globe.
Harry Leibowitz, World of Children Award co-founder and co-chairman, said, “We are humbled by the efforts undertaken by these amazing people and it is our great pleasure to recognize and reward their work on behalf of the world’s vulnerable children.”
“World of Children honorees are compelling reminders that one person has tremendous power to positively impact society. These fine honorees have committed their entire lives to helping the world’s most vulnerable children through ingenious and effective solutions that cannot and should not be ignored,” said actress Stephanie March, World of Children Award’s Celebrity Ambassador.
Harry Leibowitz and Kay Isaacson-Leibowitz, retired senior executives from Procter & Gamble and Victoria’s Secret, are the co-founders and the leaders of the World of Children Award. Since its inception in 1998, the World of Children Award has granted more than $4.3 million in cash grants and program support to 90 honorees who have been helping vulnerable children in more than 100 countries.
