A life-changing experience
All finalists of the Stockholm Junior Water Prize competition describe the experience as being a real boost in their professional path. Many of them continue to study or work in water or environmental issues. Some of them even get to scale up and apply their innovation in concrete ways.
After winning the Award, Mishal was contacted by peers, community members, educators, as well as individuals from different fields who pledged their support to her project.
“This sure feels good! She says. Winning this prestigious award will always be one of the greatest honours of my life. I’m proud to be a part of this distinguished family of believers, doers, and changemakers. I’m extremely grateful to SIWI and SJWP for giving young people this monumentally powerful platform.
