Behind every statistic is a human being working tirelessly to make Africa better. The Humanitarians of Africa Awards (HOA Awards) exist to find those people, celebrate them, and make sure the world knows their names.
The HOA Awards are an offshoot of the Humanitarians of Africa project by Hexa Media, a movement dedicated to amplifying the voices and work of Africa’s most impactful nonprofit founders and social change leaders.
Nine categories celebrating excellence across the full spectrum of African humanitarian impact.
