This Tuesday evening, the evening of awarding the federal prize for the fight against poverty was organized in Brussels. For this 16th edition, this competition focused on partnerships put in place to combat poverty preventively or curatively. “The fight against poverty is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Partnerships between organizations from different sectors, such as health, education, employment, housing or social action, are essential to effectively address the multiple causes and the consequences of poverty This is why the SPP IS chose the theme of partnerships for this 16th edition of the Federal Prize. indicate the organizers.
Nine organizations (three per region) were in the running and presented their projects. It was then the public via a vote which determined the three winners (one per region). If the Brussels sports project Younited Belgium vzw and the CPAS of Pelt emerged as winners for the Brussels and Flemish regions, it is from Tournai that we must look for the winner for the Walloon region. The non-profit association Brasero, which welcomes people in very precarious situations, has indeed been acclaimed. With this award, the Tournais non-profit organization wins a grant of 10,000 euros to carry out its various projects.
