“I chose these three organisations because I know they will follow all these dreams to change the world,” says Marguerite Barankitse, the first laureate of the Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity. 

By Maggy’s nomination these three organisations received $1 million award of the Aurora Prize - Fondation du Grand-Duc et de la Grande-Duchesse; Fondation Jean-François Peterbroeck; and Fondation Bridderlech Deelen. These organisations have already managed to fund a number of projects to combat child poverty and advancing aid and rehabilitation for child refugees and orphans in Rwanda, Ethiopia, Brazil and D.R. Congo.
