We asked for photos of local heroes who are helping their communities during the worst of crises for our First Responders photography competition with the European Commission. We were amazed by what we received from around the world!
As the end of 2014 draws closer, we look to commemorate it as one of the most demanding years for the world’s humanitarians. From on-going conflict to outbreaks and epidemics, this year we turned once again to the everyday heroes, the ordinary people delivering extraordinary action. To honour the role of humanitarians we present our very own list of the 12 humanitarians everyone should know about, from those dedicated to solving today’s crises to those who have shaped history.
