The Luum Awards is the first of its kind in the world to award communication centred on social, environmental and animal rights awareness.

This year Havas Lemz and Havas Media Africa were awarded the gold medal in the Planet/Climate Action category for their ongoing awareness campaign to highlight the outstanding work of non-profit organisation Justdiggit.

Justdiggit works with millions of farmers across Africa to rehabilitate arid land. These projects directly empower local farmers by rejuvenating the land that Africans need to prosper and so safeguard the future of the continent.

The partnership is an ideal fit for the agency and showcases Havas’ commitment to meaningful media. Justdiggit Global Marketing & Communications director Wessel van Eeden says, “The partnership with Havas is essential to the recent growth of Justdiggit, as communication is key to inspire and activate smallhold farmers to regreen their own land. It is also important to promote these simple regreening solutions to people across the world, to give hope and inspiration in regards to climate change. We would not be where we are today without the support of Havas.”
