Elie Wiesel’s wisdom will be missed, but his counsel will not be forgotten.
t a time when a staggering 65.3 million
people are homeless and displaced,
and 33,000 more are forced to flee their
homes each day because of conflict or
persecution, our humanity impels us to help
save lives and offer hope.
As descendants of Armenian Genocide
survivors, we recognize that we have survived
and thrived thanks to the audacity and sacrifice
of those who intervened to rescue our ancestors.
It is in memory of those rare, selfless saviors
that we created the Aurora Prize for Awakening
Humanity – a global humanitarian award
dedicated to raising public consciousness about
man’s very real inhumanity to man, about the
atrocities that destroy lives, and most
importantly, about the extraordinary human
beings who endanger their own lives to save
others.
The Aurora Prize will seek to identify and honor
those who have chosen to do the unexpected,
to oppose evil, to risk life, health and security, to
dare to save their fellow man, under conditions
of extreme duress. These are the heroes who
lead through selfless example, and serve as
lights in the harrowing darkness of despair and
hopelessness. They deserve the Aurora Prize
because, by their lives, they do indeed awaken
the humanity in each of us. We owe them our
gratitude and pledge to them our support.
A
AURORA PRIZEFOR AWAKENING HUMANITY
The Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity is a global humanitarian award established to
recognize modern day heroes and the exceptional impact their actions have made on preserving
human life and advancing humanitarian causes. The Aurora Prize will be given annually on
behalf of the survivors of the Armenian Genocide and in gratitude to their saviors. It is one of the
projects of the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative which is committed to building a broader
humanitarian movement.

More than a century ago, one and
a half million Armenians were
systematically exterminated on
orders of the Ottoman Turkish government.
Those who endured did so thanks to the
generosity of strangers who jeopardized their
own safety by offering refuge and hope to the
dispossessed survivors.
Today, the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative,
established by the grandsons of survivors, is an
expression of gratitude and a celebration of the
strength of the human spirit.
The Aurora Prize showcases an individual
whose actions have had an exceptional impact
on preserving human life and advancing
humanitarian causes in the face of adversity.
That individual, or Laureate, will receive a
$100,000 grant, as well as the unique
opportunity to continue the cycle of giving
by nominating organizations that inspired
their work to receive a $1,000,000 award.

Introduced during the Aurora Dialogues, this specially commissioned
study measured public perception of top humanitarian issues, based on
4,600 people in six countries. The study’s findings revealed the global
disconnect between perception and reality vis-à-vis the refugee crisis,
by exploring respondents’ opinions on the need and responsibility for
international intervention.

WHERE REFUGEES COME FROM COMPASSION GAPThe public demonstrated little awareness about where refugees actually come from, associating the refugee crisis with Syria, ignoring other forced migration routes.
The public feels compassion forrefugees but
UK & Francemisinformedabout Libya
U.S. misinformed
about Mexico
Informed: The publicknows large numbersof refugees come from these countries.
Misinformed: The public overestimates the number of refugees coming from these countries.
Uninformed: The public does not realize large numbers of refugees come from these countries.
The public correctly identifies SYRIA, AFGHANISTAN and SOMALIA as the main countries of origin for refugees. They are, however, less aware that countries in Africa (SUDAN, SOUTH SUDAN, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO, CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC and ERITREA) and Asia (MYANMAR) are also significant contributors to the global refugee crisis. Some overestimate the number of refugees fleeing from LIBYA and MEXICO.
Americans underestimate the number of Syrian refugees by a staggering 4.7 million.

A Calling to Love
L A U R E AT E M A R G U E R I T E B A R A N K I T S E
The inaugural Aurora Prize was awarded to Marguerite Barankitse from Maison Shalom and REMA Hospital in Burundi for the extraordinary impact she has had in saving thousands of lives and caring for orphans and refugees during the country’s years of civil war.
Barankitse has dedicated her life to providing safe haven and education to children escaping violence and abuse. When war first broke out in Burundi, Barankitse, a Tutsi, tried to hide 72 of her closest Hutu neighbors to keep them safe from persecution. They were discovered and executed, while she was forced to watch.
Following this horrifying experience, which truly tested her faith in humanity, Barankitse began her work saving and caring for children and refugees. Over the next 20 years Barankitserescued and educated roughly 30,000 children, and in 2008 she opened a hospital which has treated more than 80,000 patients to date.
As Laureate, Barankitse was awarded the $100,000 grant and donated the accompanying $1,000,000 award to the organizations (see p.11) to advance aid and rehabilitation for child refugees and orphans, and fight against child poverty.

Our values are human values. When you have compassion, dignity and love then nothing can scare you, nothing can stop you - no one can stop love. Not armies, not hate, not persecution, not famine, nothing.

D R . TO M C AT E N A is the only doctor permanently based near Sudan’s border with South Sudan and is therefore responsible for serving over 500,000 people in the region. Despite several bombings by the Sudanese government,Dr. Catena resides on the hospital grounds so that he may be on call at all times. He was named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in 2015.
SYEDA GHULAM FATIMA has worked tirelessly to eradicate bonded labor in Pakistan, one of the last remaining forms of modern slavery. Fatima has liberated thousands of Pakistani workers, including approximately 21,000 children, who were forced to work for brick kiln owners in order to repay debts. Fatima has survived attempts on her life and repeated beatings during the course of her activism.
FATHER BERNARD KINVI became a priest at age 19, after losing his father and four sisters to prolonged violence and illness. Father Kinvi left his home country of Togo to head a Catholic mission with the Central African Republic. In 2012 civil war broke out. Amid the violence, Father Kinvi’s mission provided refuge and health services to those on both sides of the conflict, saving hundreds of people from persecution and death.

The Aurora Humanitarian Initiative is committed to building a broader
humanitarian movement. It spans a number of projects including
the Aurora Dialogues, the Aurora Humanitarian Index, the Aurora
Gratitude Projects and the 100 LIVES.
The Aurora Humanitarian Initiative is rooted in the inspiring stories of
courage and survival that emerged during the Armenian Genocide more
than one hundred years ago.

The inspirational woman behind the Initiative
As a child, she was forced to witness the atrocities of the Armenian Genocide. Against all odds, she survived and went on to relive the trauma again and again as she told her story to the world, on stage and in film, raising awareness about the 1915 atrocities.
Aurora’s story, together with the thousands of other old and new stories of untold courage and survival, inspired the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative and the Aurora Prize.

In the spirit of giving back, the Aurora Gratitude Projects engage with various humanitarian and educational initiatives to help children, refugees, citizens around the world. Armenians reaped the benefits of man’s kindness and goodness a century ago. Today, their descendants demonstrate a readiness to return the kindness through a variety of global projects. By expressing gratitude and sharing goals and projects, the Aurora Initiative contributes to decreasing the distance between peoples and communities, and building solidarity among those committed to doing good.
