Dr. Anita Zaidi, a Pakistani woman who left a successful pediatric career in the United States to save children’s lives in her homeland, has won the first-ever $1 million Caplow Children’s Prize, the largest award dedicated to reducing child mortality worldwide.
PKPR secured coverage of the announcement in major international outlets including The New York Times, Associated Press, Chronicle of Philanthropy, Philanthropy News Digest, and Medscape.
The $1 million Caplow Children’s Prize is the largest humanitarian prize dedicated to saving children’s lives in the world today. Recognizing that nearly 18,000 children under five die from preventable causes every day, the Children’s Prize works outside of traditional channels of foreign aid and philanthropy to uncover and fund the most impactful, credible, and cost-effective, action plans for reducing child mortality.
