Humanitarian Awards Global unveils nominees for 2021

Organizers of Humanitarian Awards Global have released a list of nominees for the 2021 edition of the awards in a virtual concert. The awards ceremony which is held annually is aimed at recognizing NGOs, SDG advocates, volunteer leaders, donors, organizations, philanthropists, corporations and professionals who are advancing the important work of charity each day.

Through this awards, we honor and celebrate their incredible contributions of time, resources, leadership and financial support made in inspiring generosity and giving hope to humanity.

The Award dubbed ‘Celebrating Change Makers’ believes that putting the spotlight on these individuals and organizations will not only celebrate them, but also build a strong platform for them by giving them a voice and opportunities while they continue to build a positive change in the world.

It will also reflect humanitarian deeds as part of the solutions as communities and nations recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and rebuild their societies. The awards event will be held on September 4, 2021 at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra at 6pm. Royal salute to the 2021 nominees and congratulations to heroes making a difference in this world of crisis. The maiden edition was spectacular.

According to Wisdom Dordoe, the Program Director of the awards said, COVID-19 will not stop them this year because the bars are raised, and the standards have been set.
