Through this award, Nawasa seeks to encourage journalists to explore and highlight the challenges and opportunities surrounding water security, climate resilience, and environmental stewardship in Grenada and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond recognition, the award represents a tangible investment in professional development, offering a $15,000 sponsorship towards a training opportunity \u2014 empowering the recipient to refine their skills and expand their impact.<\/p>\n<div id=\"nowgd-4249643f6d119a96ae8363531b5ffb22\" class=\"nowgd-4249643f6d119a96ae8363531b5ffb22 nowgd-ap-m-300x300-monthly\"><\/div>\n<p>At Nawasa, we believe that informed communities are empowered communities. By supporting excellence in environmental journalism, we contribute to a more resilient and sustainable future. This award will honor a journalist whose work demonstrates exceptional research, storytelling, and impact, educating the public on water resource challenges, climate adaptation, and environmental sustainability. It stands as a testament to the power of media in shaping public discourse and inspiring positive change.<\/p>\n<div id=\"nowgd-0f8cd73ccc2dc0c52a7c1b855fe6fed9\" class=\"nowgd-0f8cd73ccc2dc0c52a7c1b855fe6fed9 nowgd-ap-m-300x300-weekly\"><\/div>\n<p>The recipient is expected to exemplify these values, producing work that is informative, engaging, and transformative \u2014 reporting that heightens awareness, encourages action, and contributes to national and regional discussions on sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility, Nawasa\u2019s Communications Supervisor Jamila Lewis was present last Saturday to facilitate the official signing of the MOU between Nawasa and MWAG. Lewis also presented awards to several winners. Nawasa congratulates Christlina John from the Grenada Broadcasting Network (GBN) for securing an impressive 6 awards at the MWAG Awards.
