King Baudouin Prize 2019

12 June 2019

King Philippe & Queen Mathilde presided the King Baudouin Prize Ceremony at the royal palace in Brussels.

The biannual development award goes to organisations that enhance the living quality of local communities in Africa.

The Nigerian start up "Wecyclers" are this year's winners. They use the profits they make from recycling objects to invest in the environment and the local living conditions.

Before the ceremony, the King & Queen granted an audience to the representatives of Wecyclers.
