Jimma University is collaborating with the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative Foundation Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing urgent humanitarian challenges globally, particularly for the most vulnerable populations.
Currently, the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative is seeking nominees engaged in humanitarian activities worldwide for the Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity, a $1 million global humanitarian award aimed at recognizing and supporting modern-day heroes who risk their lives to aid those suffering from violent conflict or atrocity crimes.
For this initiative, we are looking for Jimma University alumni or students who can carry out the following activities:
• Identify five grassroots humanitarians who could be strong candidates for the 2025 Aurora Prize from Ethiopia.
• Conduct in-depth research on each identified humanitarian and prepare detailed profiles (up to two pages per candidate) following the Aurora Prize guidelines and criteria.
• Submit one complete profile per week over a 5-week period. Each profile will be reviewed by the Aurora Prize Secretariat and, if accepted, included in the 2025 Aurora Prize Laureate Selection Process.
• The candidates must be Ethiopian citizens currently residing in Ethiopia and actively involved in humanitarian activities.
For more details, please review the program guidelines.
BENEFITS
• Grants of $350 are awarded to Alumni/student who successfully completes the assignment from Aurora Humanitarian Initiative.
Participants whose nominees advance to become the Aurora Prize Finalists will receive an invitation to attend the 2025 Aurora Prize Ceremony.
