The jurors wish to stress the importance of environmental issues and the integration of sustainable behaviour in our daily lives. For this reason they chose to make a special award to a project that is able to make sustainable use of the few resources at its disposal. This project, located in rural Kenya, is a children’s home that enables volunteers from Hungary to support 30 children and two nuns. The project grows its own organic produce, rears chickens to feed the children, and sells milk from its own cows to raise funds. Volunteers were instrumental in designing a sprinkler system to cope with increasing drought brought on by climate change.
