The distinguished personalities who will receive honorary awards for their distinctive works of service and lifetime achievements at the third edition of the Humanitarian Awards Global have been announced.
Madam Anne Sophie Ave, Ambassador of France to Ghana, has been named among the awardees, considering her contribution to the growth of arts and culture as well as Ghanaian music.
The highly anticipated awards ceremony is expected to host honorees/awardees from about a dozen different countries on August 27th, 2022, at the plush Labadi Beach Hotel.
The awards scheme celebrates NGOs, philanthropists, corporations, and other professionals who have impacted the lives of the less privileged, thus impacting lives and changing the narrative.
The project also provides a platform for them to tell their stories, share their impact, and network with others in their respective field.
“Through this initiative, we are given another opportunity not only to recognise changemakers but also to highlight the individual and collective efforts of people who are sincerely inspiring the next generation of leaders in and beyond,” said Mr. Wisdom Dordoe, Programs Director at Humanitarian Awards Global.
