Landesa is awarded the LUI Che Woo Prize 2017 in the Welfare Betterment category, with the Specific Area of Focus on “Alleviation of Poverty”.

Landesa promotes the idea of “land to the tiller” through partnering with governments and civil society organisations in developing countries and using laws and policies as systemic tools to help the rural poor gain secure land rights. To date, after 50 years of steadfast efforts, it has succeeded in securing land rights for more than 120 million of the world’s poorest families in over 50 countries through peaceful means. For rural women and men, ownership of their land is the critical first step to achieving economic independence and escaping poverty.

Landesa （蘭德薩農村發展研究所，下稱「蘭德薩」）獲授予以「脫貧」爲關注領域的2017年「呂志和奬−人類福祉獎」。

蘭德薩提倡「耕者有其田」的理念，透過與發展中國家政府和民間組織的並肩努力，並使用法律及政策等系統性途徑，協助農村貧困人口獲得有保障的土地權利。時至今日，經過五十載不懈努力，此組織通過和平的方法，已在逾五十個國家，幫助超過1.2億世界上最貧窮的家庭獲得土地權利。對這些農村地區的婦女和男性而言，擁有自己的耕地，是他們脫貧及達至經濟獨立最關鍵的第一步。
