The Stop TB Partnership is delighted to announce the winners of the 2025 Community Award, celebrating organisations that have shown extraordinary resilience in “Keeping the Lights On and Providing Critical TB Services to People with TB.” with a total award amount of USD 55,000. In it’s sixth year, the award call drew an impressive 75 submissions from community and survivor-led groups across eligible high TB-burden countries.
Following a thorough review by an independent selection panel, two organisations stood out for their impact, creativity, and unwavering commitment to people affected by TB:
The panel shared that the decision was far from easy — many applications scored remarkably high, reflecting the depth of community leadership and innovation happening across the TB response. Selecting just two winners from such a strong group was a genuine challenge.
The award was formally presented during the Union World Conference on Lung Health, in a special session joined by New York Times bestselling author John Green and Her Excellency Dr. Claudiana Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, First Lady of Lagos State & Lagos State Stop TB Champion, who honoured the recipients and celebrated the vital role of community-driven TB work.
The Stop TB Partnership also expresses sincere gratitude to the Humana People to People Foundation for their continued partnership and support, which makes this award — and the recognition of these community champions — possible.
Warm congratulations to Debriche Health Development Centre and TB People Indonesia, and heartfelt appreciation to all organisations who submitted their inspiring work this year. Your dedication keeps services alive and people supported, even in the toughest moments.
