We are delighted by the positive response to our inaugural photo competition. Collectively, the submissions were a remarkable representation of the Kabissa community, spanning a wide range of causes, sizes and geographic regions served. We sincerely thank everyone for submitting and voting, and for the contributions you are making to your local communities.
And the winner is...
We are proud to announce that the winner of the competition is Mozambikes, Limitada, based in Mozambique. Mozambikes' photo tells the story of the power of bicycles to change lives through their ability to increase people's work efficiency. As a result, they are able to increase their daily incomes.
Honorable Mention
The two runners-ups were submitted by Mercy Hospital, in Sierra Leone, and Connected in Hope Foundation, in Ethiopia. Mercy Hospital's photo highlighted a mother and her children who had attended a mobile health clinic sponsored by the hospital. The Connected in Hope Foundation's photo showcased a mother and daughter earning a living by creating their own hand-woven goods, which the foundation helps to sell in global markets.
Thanks to your vote, these three photos will be featured on the Kabissa front page, as examples of the community-shaping work that Kabissa's members are involved in every day. Click here to explore the full photo gallery of all 67 photo submissions.
Congratulations to the winners and thank you once again for your participation!
