2012 World Savers Awards

Beginning several years ago, Condé Nast Traveler magazine has given out annual World Savers Awards. This year’s finalists and winners have been chosen. A description:

They have planted 366,100 trees in 2011 alone, from Australia to Thailand and South Africa. They have helped educate 96,298 students in Kenya, India, and the United States and provided health care to 116,900 people in the Maldives, Mozambique, and Nigeria. In the past two years, they have helped bring safe drinking water to almost 580,000 people in Ethiopia and 50 other countries. No, they are not UN agencies or NGOs. They are the 15 winners and runners-up in our 2012 World Savers Awards…. This year we received a record 111 applications. A panel of independent judges chose the honorees—visionary companies that are making a difference in six areas of social responsibility.
