WASH Media Award 2004. Collection of winning entries
Summary
Established by WSSCC in 2002, the WASH Media Awards encourage investigative reporting on water, sanitation and hygiene issues by developing country journalists from print, radio and TV media. The 2004 awards were announced at the first ever Global WASH Forum in Dakar, with an international panel of judges evaluated more than 100 entries from print, radio and TV journalists representing over 40 countries. The winning entry, “The Nile and its People” by Egyptian Nadia El-Awady, illustrated the impact of industrial pollution, sewage and solid waste management on people’s health and dignity along the River Nile. Here, we reproduce the article in full, along with all the other winning entries. Sit back and enjoy an inspiring and informative read that reveals personal feelings from around the developing world about water, sanitation and hygiene issues.
