Children's Prize 2025: Infrastructure for Life
🏆 About Children's Prize
Globally, over 13,000 children under the age of five die every day. The Children's Prize is an open online competition with a mission to advance child health and survival by insisting on impact and data-driven interventions.
Focus for 2025

- Buildings and facilities
- Energy systems
- Water and sanitation systems
- Transportation networks
- Communication systems
- Environmental protection systems (e.g., flood control systems)
The 2025 Children's Prize will emphasize initiatives that create long-lasting resources playing a core role in sustaining child health.
