As there can only be one winner, you might think that applying and not winning will not bring any benefits to you. On the contrary, The Humanitarian Water and Food Award aims to help support and spread innovative initiatives. By applying, you will gain access to our network of sponsors and partners who are more than willing to support you in any way they can.
Once in the database, our partners will be able to see opportunities to assist you
Once your application is approved, that is to say your application fulfils the basic criteria, your project is published on our cooperation database.
Once published, our sponsors and institutional partners will be able to see your project. But there is more…
Once published, you will be able to complement your application with a Request for Assistance. If your project needs expert help, a loan, more volunteers, etc, you can request this help and it will be published along with your application details.
Many of our partners are anxious to provide support, and those with technical and scientific knowledge will scan the database for projects needing this kind of assistance.
Some of our partners work with finance and micro-finance. These may well your project interesting too.
So regardless of your own feeling about your project, please go ahead and apply. We at the Award Office will help you formulate your application if needed, and make our network available to you.

Dear Safdar, Any initiative may apply and the initiative can appoint any representative to be the main contact towards us. For example a Tanzanian initiative can have a Pakistani partner as representatives and visa versa. Hope this clears things up.
