The Big Heart Foundation’s Sharjah International Award for Refugee Advocacy & Support 2025: A Call for Change-Makers

The Big Heart Foundation (TBHF) has announced the 9th edition of the Sharjah International Award for Refugee Advocacy & Support (SIARA) 2025. This esteemed award, in collaboration with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), recognizes outstanding nonprofit organizations making a transformative impact on the lives of refugees.

SIARA 2025 will honor one exceptional organization with a generous cash prize of AED 500,000. This award not only acknowledges their relentless commitment but also provides essential resources to help expand the reach of their initiatives within their communities, bringing renewed hope and support to those most in need.

Nominate a Change-Maker

Do you know an organization that is making a difference in the lives of refugees? TBHF and SIARA invite nominations for organizations in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East that actively engage at the grassroots level. Whether they’re providing direct aid, leading advocacy efforts, fostering social support, or implementing creative initiatives, these organizations are encouraged to be recognized for their invaluable contributions.

Why This Matters

As the global refugee crisis continues to grow, grassroots organizations are crucial in offering direct, tangible support to displaced individuals. These organizations provide more than just aid—they deliver hope, empowerment, and a sense of community to those affected by the crisis. SIARA’s mission aligns with this vision, championing the work of these dedicated groups to ensure their efforts resonate on a larger scale.
