“Aurora’s impact is a process, number one, in trying to identify the amazing number of humanitarians around the world who are really going out of their way and putting their life at risk to help a fellow human being. And that’s the spirit of the Aurora Prize.”

Lord Ara Darzi, Chair of the Aurora Prize Selection Committee and Co-Director of the Institute of Global Health Innovation at Imperial College London, reflects on a decade of Aurora’s impact. Since its inception in 2015, the Initiative has supported grassroots humanitarians working in the world’s most challenging regions, amplifying their impact, sharing their stories, and ensuring their courage is recognized.
