We are pleased to announce the winners of the 14th annual Sustainability Prize at EARTH University.
During the traditional dinner for graduates and their families on Thursday, December 7th, this year’s first place sustainability prize of $10,000 was awarded to Kadine Jordine (Jamaica) and Hellenah Khunga (Malawi) for their project using reverse osmosis to purify captured rainwater.
Second prize of $5,000 went to Mark Norman Mumpande (Zimbabwe) who is working with small farmers growing tamarind and helping them reach the market.
The Sustainability Prize at Earth University program is awarded annually to the student project that best exemplifies The Lab’s five core principles of sustainability. Proceeds from the prizes are typically invested by the winners in the continuation of their projects.
Thank you to the faculty and staff at Earth University who are running this program and to our generous supporters Ivor and Barbara Freeman and Joshua Arnow and Elyse Arnow-Brill.
