Global Citizen,

Working to end extreme poverty and achieve the United Nations’ Global Goals is no small feat. That is why the Global Citizen Prize identifies the “unsung heroes” in local communities who have been championing and uplifting the most vulnerable people. 

Eight remarkable changemakers across three categories - to Defend the Planet, Defeat Poverty, and Demand Equity - have been selected as winners for the Global Citizen Prize 2022, and will join Global Citizen NOW, a two-day summit in New York on May 22 and 23.

Each of our winners is doing incredible work to make meaningful progress on these issues. Take Nidhi Pant, the winner of the 2022 Cisco Youth Leadership Award. 

The Cisco Youth Leadership Award celebrates a young individual who has contributed meaningfully toward ending extreme poverty in their community. Nidhi’s organization, S4S Technologies, uses solar technology to help smallholder farmers minimize loss and improve their profits, and trains landless women farmers to become micro-entrepreneurs by equipping them with the right combination of technology, finance, and market access. 

The other inspiring Global Citizen Prize winners include Anuscheh Amir-Khalili, Barbie Izquierdo, Brianna Fruean, Khanyisile Motsa, Mitzy Violeta Cortés Guzmán, Payzee Mahmod and Yemi Adamolekun. Learn more about them here.

We hope their stories will inspire you to take action.
