The Albert Schweitzer Prize (ASP) 2018 was presented in the "Royal Tropical Institute" in Amsterdam last month. The ASP is part of the Albert Schweitzer Fund (NASF), which annually encourages projects to improve healthcare in Africa.
The iSTEPup foundation signed up for this award. Luckily, the iSTEPup foundation passed the selection procedure. After this procedure, a top three of projects was formed by a jury. These three projects were still in the race to win the main prize of 5000 euros. Unfortunately, the iSTEPup foundation did not belong to the top three. However, the iSTEPup foundation still had a chance to win the award for the most voted project by the public.
Recruitment of votes was possible online, but also during the poster presentation on the day of the award ceremony. On the day of the award ceremony, we first met all other participants of the projects. Knowledge about starting such projects was shared with each other, which was very helpful. Despite all your votes and the poster session, the foundation did not win the award of the most votes.
We want to thank you for voting and supporting our mission! We gained a lot of inspiration and information that we will be using to keep improving iSTEPup.
Nevertheless, the iSTEPup foundation still has the confidence to raise the kickstart amount of 10.000 euros at the end of August.
