Hi Global Citizen,
Earlier this December, Global Citizen hosted the Global Citizen Prize event at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall to honor incredible individuals leading the way in the fight to end extreme poverty by 2030.
We announced prizes in the categories of World Leader, Artist, Business Leader, and Global Citizen of the Year, and the 2019 Cisco Youth Leadership Award was presented live to winner Priya Prakash.
Priya is the founder and CEO of HealthSetGo, an organization integrating technology and health care to empower parents, schools, and governments to make data-driven decisions to improve the health and lives of children. HealthSetGo has impacted the lives of more than 200,000 children and parents in India across more than 77 cities.
As the winner of the Cisco Youth Leadership Award, Priya will get $250,000. With that, she plans to continue providing access to health services and create a sustainable model so that HealthSetGo can support itself. The award will help her reach 1 million people by 2023.
We’re incredibly proud of Priya and all of our Cisco Youth Leadership Award finalists. You can read more about her work to ensure school children stay healthy.
Enjoy the show,
The Global Citizen Team
