Sheikh Mohamed received the honor at PAM's 18th Plenary Session held in Braga, Portugal on May 15th, 2024. He was selected as the first recipient of this prestigious award for his exemplary and ongoing contributions to global humanitarian efforts that have provided vital assistance and relief to vulnerable communities worldwide.
