 YAWA is the first Malaysian Youth Foundation to receive the Global 500 environment award Roll of Honour for Environmental Achievement.
| Welcome to YAWA's UNEP Global 500 E-Book of Acknowledgement |
Yayasan Anak Warisan Alam, YAWA, or Children’s Environmental Heritage Foundation started with a simple trip to Kuala Selangor Nature Park to explore nature in February of 1990. Since then, it has organised over 100 projects and activities, touching the lives and opening the eyes of countless children.
In June 2001, on World Environment Day, in recognition of it’s efforts, YAWA was inducted into the prestigious UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) ‘Global 500 Roll of Honour for Environmental Achievement’ in the Youth Category. YAWA is the first Youth organisation from Malaysia to receive the award in the category.
In appreciation of the support YAWA has received over the last decade, YAWA is launching the E-Book of Acknowledgement, in partnership with the Global 500 Forum and with the encouragement and support of the President of the Forum, Ms. Marilyn Mosley.
As a member of the Forum, YAWA will work with the Forum to link the E-Book of Acknowledgement to the Forum website. All sponsors and donors of the Global 500 laureates will be recorded therein. The logo and web addresses of all sponsors and donors will be entered and this will give their organisation a platform for global recognition. The Global 500 Forum website is sponsored by Alcoa Alumina of Australia, is a very popular site and can be visited at www.global500.org Eventualy, the ‘Book of Acknowledgement’ will be published in book form by the Forum.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, YAWA wishes to acknowledge its young members, sponsors, donors, volunteers and parents who have donated, sponsored and supported YAWA. Proudly, we list all those who have been supportive and continue to do so.
YAWA's success has been largely due to the support and sponsorship provided by countless individuals.
