Lian Gogali receives the award for her courageous and determined commitment to interfaith dialogue and religious freedom in the conflict-torn region of Poso, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Gogali started the Mosintuwu Institute for Women on her own porch.

After training, the women, from different ethnic and religious backgrounds, often choose to play an active role in their villages and society. The story of Gogali and the Mosintuwu Institute shows how one individual can make a difference and positively impact the lives of many.
