Aurora Highlights Humanitarian Heroes on Global Awareness Day

Honoring Humanitarian Heroes on World Humanitarian Day

Celebrating lifesaving actions and encouraging nominations for the Aurora Prize.

On World Humanitarian Day, the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative shows unwavering support for the countless humanitarians around the world. These heroes bravely risk everything to provide assistance, restore hope, and uphold the dignity of those in desperate situations. As we reflect on this important day, Aurora’s CEO, Armine Afeyan, and Julienne Lusenge, co-founder of Women's Solidarity for Inclusive Peace and Development, express the urgent need for better support for these frontline workers.

The Importance of Humanitarian Efforts

“World Humanitarian Day serves as a poignant reminder that in some of the world’s darkest places, selfless individuals are working tirelessly — not for recognition, but because people's lives depend on their efforts,” says Dr. Tom Catena. He is known for being the only surgeon serving a million people in his area. He urges us not to forget those in need and emphasizes that we must offer our help.”

Recognizing the Unsung Heroes

Aurora notably stands in solidarity with individuals who take immense risks to aid others where institutions have faltered. Noubar Afeyan, Co-Founder, and Chair of the Board of the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative, calls these dedicated grassroots humanitarians the soldiers of humanity. Their commitment reminds us of the resilience and dedication required to spearhead positive change, especially in times of overwhelming need.

The Global Humanitarian Landscape

In light of unprecedented cuts to foreign aid and escalating global crises, it becomes increasingly vital to recognize the enduring efforts of local humanitarian workers. According to recent United Nations reports, nearly 190 million people are currently living under life-threatening conditions, while the number of forcibly displaced persons has alarmingly risen from 59 million to 123 million since recent years.

Empowering Change through Individual Actions

On this significant day, Aurora reaffirms its commitment to the principle of Gratitude in Action—a call to give back in honor of those who have selflessly supported others. Dr. Yolanda George-David, founder of Aunt Landa's Bethel Foundation, speaks passionately about the essential funding and advocacy needed for this work. Her dedication towards helping survivors of abuse and violence exemplifies the spirit of humanitarian action that Aurora champions.

Celebrating Achievements and Future Endeavors

Since its inception, Aurora has impacted the lives of over 3.5 million people across 63 countries, making significant strides through its flagship Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity. This prestigious $1 million award serves to honor exceptional humanitarians and inspire grassroots efforts that truly make a difference. Aurora encourages individuals and organizations to support this initiative by nominating outstanding humanitarians for the next award cycle.

A Special Event Ahead

Coming up soon, Aurora will host the 2025 Aurora Prize Ceremony. This important event will take place on Ellis Island and promises to be a celebration of local heroes and their incredible impact. It will be attended by various changemakers, philanthropists, and dignitaries who are passionate about humanitarian work.
