Innovators for the Public

Ashoka is the global association of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs—men and women with system changing solutions for the world’s most urgent social problems.
Ashoka believes that each and everyone has a potential to change the world.
Founded in 1980 by Bill Drayton in Washington, DC, Ashoka has elected over 2,000 leading social entrepreneurs as Ashoka Fellows, providing them with living stipends, professional support, and access to a global network of peers in more than 60 countries.
With their global community, they develop models for collaboration and design infrastructure needed to advance the field of social entrepreneurship and the citizen sector and they have theie presence in Environment, Health and Human Rights too.
Ashoka Fellows inspire others to adopt and spread their innovations - demonstrating to all citizens that they too have the potential to be powerful changemakers.
