The Community Builder of the Year Award is an annual award that honours heroes and heroines and recognizes their efforts at improving the quality of life of their communities in areas like education, health, sport & recreation, environment and crime prevention. The project is a Nation Building project and was started 20 years ago by the late Dr Aggrey Klaaste.
