A Partnership for Change
The Swiss Relief Foundation deliver essential humanitarian support: from food security initiatives to education
programmes to vulnerable communities. This aid is not only immediate but also works to foster lasting resilience
and sustainable development. This steadfast dedication to tangible, on-the-ground results is what makes Swiss Relief a
pivotal force for change.
RFK Human Rights UK, as part of the global Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights movement, complements this mission
by championing systemic change through advocacy, education, and youth empowerment. Together, these efforts inspire
and equip future leaders to defend and promote universal human rights.
‘By working in partnership, Swiss Relief and RFK Human Rights UK unite humanitarian action with sustained human
rights education and advocacy. Together, they create a powerful platform for dialogue, awareness, and collective
action—amplifying their shared impact on some of the most pressing challenges of our time.’
Paolo C. Gheorghiu, Chair of the Board, RFK Human Rights UK

INAUGURAL RECIPENT

We are proud to present the inaugural award to Christiane Amanpour CBE.
Throughout her distinguished career, Amanpour has stood at the frontlines of history, challenging censorship, exposing abuses of power, and shining a light on the experiences of those too often silenced. Her fearless reporting has inspired generations and fortified the essential role of a free press in democratic life.
In honouring Christiane Amanpour, we affirm the enduring legacy of Senator and Mrs. Kennedy that truth is the cornerstone of justice, and courage in its defence is the highest form of civic service.
