The Children’s Prize 2025: Infrastructure for Life is now open for applications, inviting individuals and organisations worldwide to propose innovative, measurable, and impact-driven interventions aimed at improving child health outcomes. This year’s edition takes a bold focus on building sustainable infrastructure that supports children’s survival, growth, and long-term well-being.
About the Children’s Prize 2025: Infrastructure for Life
The Children’s Prize 2025: Infrastructure for Life competition is a global open call that seeks to identify and fund solutions that combine science, innovation, and real-world impact. Unlike short-term interventions, the 2025 theme places emphasis on hard, resilient infrastructure that directly and indirectly affects child health.
Areas of focus include:
- Buildings – such as health facilities, shelters, or educational centres that serve children.
- Energy systems – ensuring reliable access to electricity for healthcare, clean water supply, and essential services.
- Water and sanitation – improving hygiene, clean water access, and waste management.
- Transportation – enhancing safe and reliable access to healthcare facilities.
- Communication systems – supporting health awareness, emergency response, and community mobilisation.
- Environmental and flood-control systems – protecting children and families from disasters and hazardous conditions.
This year’s prize will fund the most promising project that demonstrates how infrastructure can serve as a foundation for saving lives and promoting healthier futures for children.

The winning project will be awarded a $165,000 grant to scale its solution and achieve measurable impact in child health.
