Social Entrepreneurship

Invent something to make life easier, the planet greener and the world better!

Started by James Bach

Ashoka GenV is please to announce the Invent Your World Challenge, an international campaign sponsored by the Lemelson Foundation and Ashoka GenV to support young inventors in creating social change. Youth wishing to use new or adapted technology to address global challenges are encouraged to launch a "social venture" and implement their invention. Ashoka GenV will provide mentorship and seed funding to 50 new ventures. In addition, Lemelson and Ashoka will choose the best teams and offer additional support, including a visit to MIT to take part in a global roundtable discussion and $20,000 in scholarships.

  1. This is an ongoing pledge that should be fulfilled as often as possible between Nov 21, 2008 and Dec 31, 2008.

    Ni hao.  An injustice to any is an injustice to all, "we, the people...", can't allow it  :)   The fundamental thing taught by Jesus was destruction and murder are of no profit or pleasure, something almost all supposed Christians are anti-thetically opposed to, as is your gov't; and a gleaning from Native American teaching, et al, all life are needed threads in the fabric of life.  Put your shadow behind you, give the gift that keeps on giving, a hand to a sister and/or brother; by inventing something  :)
