A 16-year-old UAE resident has been named as one of three finalists for the International Children's Peace Prize 2016, for having improved the rights and position of children in unique and tangible ways.
Kehkashan Basu began campaigning to protect the environment at an early age. At the age of just eight, she organised an awareness campaign for recycling of waste in her Dubai neighbourhood. In 2012, Basu founded Green Hope - which collects wastes, cleans beaches and holds awareness events - which is now active in ten countries and boasts more than 1,000 volunteers.
The three finalists - Basu from the UAE, 18-year-old Muzoon Almellehan from Syria and 12-year-old Divina Maloumfrom Cameroon - were drawn from a record 120 international entries.
The Children's Peace Prize will be awarded by the Nobel Peace Prize winner of 2006, Mohammed Yunus, at the Hall of Knights (Ridderzaal) in The Hague on December 2.
