An award for young people aspiring to careers in development policy
Samantha Singh Memorial Award
Samantha Singh was the Coordinator of ONE’s Policy Team in 2019-2020. In July 2020, she passed away aged 26. Her legacy is one of kindness. She always sought to make things easier for others, make the mundane fun, and was passionate about global development.
In her memory, ONE has established the Samantha Singh Memorial Award for young people aged 16 to 26 aspiring to careers in development policy. Applicants must complete a policy task identified by The ONE Campaign each year.
The winner, selected by a prize committee made up of ONE staff members and Sam’s family, is awarded $500, a career advice session with a senior ONE staff member, and featured on ONE’s blog.
