A school in Pakistan run by the Kashmir Orphan Relief Trust (KORT) won a big award called the Zayed Sustainability Prize. It's worth $100,000, and they got it at a special event about the environment in Dubai.
The school won an award for being the best in South Asia for its amazing project about saving water and growing food without chemicals. It competed with schools from India and Bangladesh and won because it had a really cool way to help with climate problems.
At a big event in Dubai called Expo City, the President of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, gave out an award. It's called the Zayed Sustainability Prize, named after someone important in the UAE. This award is for groups that do good things to help with health, food, energy, water, and the environment. It's for small businesses, charities, and even high schools that make a difference.
Sumaiya Bibi, who is 19 years old and represents KORT, talked about how important it is to save water. She said that in Pakistan, there might not be enough clean water to drink by 2025. She also said that her school wants to help by making water filters and special taps that don't waste water. They also want to grow a garden without chemicals to have healthy food for everyone.
The KORT School and College of Excellence started in 2016 to help kids whose parents were affected by a big earthquake in 2005. More than 500 students study there and get everything they need like education, a place to stay, food, clothes, and medical help. The money they won as a prize will be used to help make clean water and grow healthy food in villages. Chaudhry Mohammed Akhtar, who started the school, said this.
This year, they gave out the Zayed Sustainability Prize to 11 winners in different groups. They got a total of $3.6 million as a prize. These cool ideas want to help people and take care of our planet all around the world.
