AmeriCares Spirit of Humanity Awards 2012

 

AmeriCares India will be hosting the third edition of the ‘Spirit of Humanity Awards’ on April 7, 2012 (Sat) at the JW Marriott, Juhu, Mumbai. The event will be held on the WHO declared World Health Day.

Awards will be given in 10 different categories like Women’s Health, Child Nutrition etc. The key objectives of the Spirit of Humanity Awards are:

  • Recognize and honor organizations/individuals doing exemplary work in the healthcare space among the underprivileged in India
  • Create awareness about various health issues prevalent in the country

NGOs from all across India working in the healthcare space are invited to apply. Details on how to apply will be shared shortly.

As part of AmeriCares India's work with many dedicated partners, we established in 2010 the “Spirit of Humanity Awards” to recognize individuals and organizations doing exemplary work in healthcare among the disadvantaged in India.  

In addition to honoring outstanding work in healthcare, the Awards event is an opportunity to showcase the best practices undertaken by these pioneers.  With less than 7% of NGOs in India working in the healthcare sector, it also raises awareness of various health care issues in India and encourages others to focus on healthcare challenges. 

Individuals and organizations from all across India working in the healthcare space among the underprivileged sections of the country are invited to apply.
