Here's a story about how members of the Changemakers community are helping to spread wellness practices in the United States:
Medical centers are always looking for new ways to deliver better, more affordable care. The latest studies are showing that what goes on just outside the medical exam room can make the biggest difference. If patients can learn to take on some of the management of their own health, their outcomes are better and costs are lower.
Many leading edge healthcare providers are beginning to hire “health coaches” to educate patients about their own health needs and to encourage them to take a more active role in their own care.

Lovin' Spoonfuls Food Rescue
Stage
Established (the solution has passed the previous stages, and has demonstrated success)
This Entry is about (Issues)
Elevator Pitch
Headquartered in Boston, MA, Lovin' Spoonfuls is a 501c3 non-profit food rescue organization that facilitates the recovery and distribution of perishable and unserved food that would otherwise be thrown away and wasted. We deliver this food to local crisis centers, soup kitchens, and pantries.
Problem
While 49 million Americans struggle daily with food insecurity, 40% of all food produced in the U.S. goes to waste each year. Not only does the food itself go to waste, precious natural resources including fresh water and oil are also squandered in the production of this food. Hunger has traditionally been addressed with processed, non-perishable foods, but why should we stop at non-perishables when there is so much fresh food already available?
Solution
Food rescue provides a timely and innovative solution to the ongoing problems of food insecurity and food waste. Through Lovin’ Spoonfuls’ streamlined model, food donors are able to reduce their waste disposal costs and emissions footprint while contributing a tax-deductible food donation to their community. Our focus on fresh produce, lean proteins, and whole grains allows our partner organizations to consistently serve their clients healthy and wholesome meals without increasing their own operating costs. Our work aims to connect people in need to the bounty of unused food that prevails in our community. Access to nutritious food should be a right, not a privilege reserved for the wealthy.
Example
Every weekday, our team picks up second-line product from grocery stores including as Whole Foods Markets, Trader Joe’s, and several restaurants, bakeries, and farms. We deliver this food to local soup kitchens, homeless shelters and crisis centers including Pine Street Inn, Boston Rescue Mission, and Bridge Over Troubled Waters, among others. The mainstays of food assistance are often overly processed, non-perishable foods, typically loaded with salt, sugar and chemical preservatives. In hunger relief, why should we stop at non-perishables when there is so much fresh food already available? Our food rescue model helps social service organizations to balance their budgets while also providing healthier food items to their clients.
Impact
To date, the Lovin' Spoonfuls team has rescued and distributed over 600,000 pounds of fresh and healthy food across Greater Boston. We currently have two refrigerated delivery vehicles and two full time drivers on the road. More trucks and more drivers mean that we can pick up more food and serve more people. In 2013 we intend to add another truck to our fleet, which will further extend our capacity and reach.
Marketplace
Food rescue is an unaddressed area of hunger relief in Greater Boston. While food banks rely on warehouses and other overnight storage facilities to maintain a stockpile of non-perishable goods, Lovin’ Spoonfuls utilizes a direct distribution system to pick up perishable food from donors and deliver those items to local soup shelters, soup kitchens and crisis centers within the same day. Lovin' Spoonfuls is based off successful food rescue organizations in other cities such as City Harvest in New York City, DC Central Kitchen in Washington DC, and FoodRunners in San Francisco.
Sustainability Plan
We are actively fundraising from foundations and individuals to aid program growth and ensure the continued financial stability of our operations. A lean business plan and low operating costs provide a solid foundation for our scalable model, and we hope to expand operations to eventually reach the four corners of Massachusetts. Our work aims to ensure everyone in our community has access to the types of food necessary to sustain a healthy life.
Founding Story
Lovin’ Spoonfuls was founded in 2010 by native Bostonian Ashley Stanley. Stanley witnessed the amount of food that was being thrown away by food service establishments and questioned why so much food was going to waste when the number of hungry and homeless individuals in Massachusetts continued to increase. Inspired to take action, Stanley initially utilized her own car to rescue food that would otherwise have gone to waste from local food retailers and restaurants. She has since acquired two refrigerated food delivery vehicles and has developed Lovin’ Spoonfuls into an effective and acclaimed organization.

Elevator Pitch
Happy Healthy Home is a holistic solution to provide vital nutrients to a family or household in a manner that controls daily health damages and prevents from falling ill. This comes in a bouquet of products & services that are based upon nature-care and are free from any artificial substances.
Problem
Damages occur in our lives on a daily basis due to unsafe food, wrong eating habits coupled with stress, lack of exercise, radiation & polluted external environment. There is a sole reliance on cure rather than on prevention, which leads to a flourishing Pharmaceuticals industry, often mistaken as Healthcare industry. Mushrooming of spurious healthcare products & overuse of chemicals further aggravate the plethora of problems faced by mankind!
Solution
Our products offer resistance to environmental factors and maintain natural health coupled with a definite boost to body's immunizing capabilities to fight diseases. We offer affordable healthcare solutions for all population segments as they are made from nature's bounty in terms of herbs, medicinal plants and concoctions. Small ailments like joint & muscular pains, liver and kidney damages, digestion/metabolism disorders etc. get corrected with the use of our products & by undergoing alternative therapy treatment. With our mission as 'Health for All', we provide complete healthcare solution coupled with product promotion, health awareness/education, training and support services based upon 'Everything Natural' theme.
Example
While on one hand our products for consumption like aloe-vera juice and seven-herb juice provide vitality and all round nutrition to human body, the external applications of products like aloe-gel and soap for instance are carving niche in the marketplace, as can be verified by numerous testimonials available with us. On the other hand our alternative therapy services like electric accupressure bed & techniques are proving path-breaking in terms of their impact on individual's health and fitness.
Impact
Our work has started generating tremendous response as more & more users of our products and services have reported significant improvement on their wellness & fitness. However our goal is to achieve a significant impact on the health of the poor and vulnerables, a large number of who fall back into Poverty trap because of their ill-affordability of medical care especially on account of expenses on critical healthcare in their households. We plan to reduce monthly medical expenses in a typical Indian household by 50% and food savings on account of less expenditure on food purchases by another 15% of their monthly expenditure as we guarantee a significant reduction in both food and medicine expenditure against the use of our products and services, We will reach out to about 150000 households through 60 outlets in next 2 years, which means a saving of Rs. 2.3 million (@1500 per HH) alone.
Marketplace
The Indian healthcare industry valued at US$ 65 billion worth of healthcare spend (2012) is estimated to reach US$ 100 billion by 2015, growing 20 per cent year-on-year, as per rating agency Fitch. India currently faces a chronic shortage of healthcare infrastructure especially in rural/peri-urban areas and as per PWC, India needs 1.75 million new beds by the year 2025. The annual pharma market in India is valued at USD 20 billion and is growing at over 15.3% per annum. Even if we assume 1% of these two supplied by unconventional options, our target market is over 1000 crore rupees annually.
Sustainability Plan
Wellness or to remain healthy is the single most important need of the mankind. Added to it is the factor of affordability which makes or breaks the appeal of certain products. With the virtue of operating in affordable healthcare and wellness segment, our sustainability is automatically ensured. Further since one third of our products are made in-house and there is an equal emphasis on nature therapy, we are in strong position to sustain self.
Founding Story
Being ambitious is directly proportional to being healthy as both of us co-founders have felt it strongly as we embarked on our journey to do something together. As we wanted to do number of things together, often our health used to take a toll and therefore we decided to first tackle itself before moving further with our plans, without realising that 'Healthcare and Wellness' itself was an overpowering idea that needed a push. Hence the concept came into being.
مزيد من المعلومات↓↑ إخفاء↑ إخفاءWhere do you ensure the availability of nutrients?
Full nourishment foods, Human wellness and vitality.
If you had greater capacity, which additional sectors would you like your solution to target - either through expansion, partnership, or thought exchange?
Healthy environments, Nutrient-rich farming.
How specifically would this added capacity help you improve the quality, efficiency, or sustainability of your existing product or service?
Since we have to create mass awareness around wellness and disease-free life, we would like to take-up yoga camps, sensitization-health camps etc. eventually, which would work go a long way to build our brand. Also 'health foods' will be a separate vertical in our store hence investing in nutrient rich farming is an obvious vertical backward integration to ensure availability of healthy inputs e.g. organic and safe foods.

Elevator Pitch
Do you dig good food? We do too, literally. We're Kitchen Gardeners International (KGI), a nonprofit of 30,000 people growing our own healthy food and helping others to do the same. We're best known for having led the successful campaign for a kitchen garden at the White House. We're ready to grow!
Problem
How can we manage to feed 10 billion people both nutritiously and sustainably in 2100 when we're not managing to do either in 2013 with a population of 7.1 billion? (Hint: the answer is in our own backyard.)
Solution
KGI thinks that the best way to accomplish something big is to inspire and empower a lot of people to do something small. We seek to improve food security and maximize human and environmental health through the promotion of food gardens, the smallest and most accessible form of agriculture. Our approach is to harness the resources-human, technical, financial-of people who grow their own nutritious, delicious, and sustainable food to help others do the same. We do this through three programs: 1) educational programming to teach more people how to grow their own food 2) awareness-raising campaigns that make the case for more food gardens to policy-makers and thought-leaders and 3) mini-grants to small,like-minded groups in the US and abroad.
Example
KGI has excelled at applying modest financial resources to targeted societal pressure points to achieve big results. To date, we've achieved our biggest victories by mobilizing people online to create momentum towards a goal, using that momentum to attract media attention (we've been covered 10 times in the New York Times in the past 5 years), and then using the media attention to mobilize even more people. This is the approach we used with our White House Kitchen Garden campaign which ended up winning the United Nations Foundation's On Day One competition and coverage in Washington Post, BBC and Wall Street Journal. That high-profile garden is now thriving and serving as the best advertisement for food gardens that money can buy.
Impact
While our past results are impressive for such a small organization (reaching, teaching and inspiring millions of people with an annual budget of under $100,000), we're most excited about our future impacts, especially in connection with our new mini-grants program called Sow It Forward. Launched last year, Sow It Forward leverages the volunteer resources of our community along with the financial and material resources of gardening companies and funders to plant and sustain food gardens that serve vulnerable and underserved populations. In our first year, we offered 80 grants (73 in the US, 7 abroad) that reached 24,000 people and helped them to grow 80,000 pounds of healthy food. Yet, we're just scratching the surface of this program's potential: our online application received over 920 applications in just 5 weeks. Our goal in 2014 is to double our grants and impacts.
Marketplace
There are many gardening & small-scale agriculture initiatives underway globally. One thing that sets us apart from many traditional garden organizations (eg the National Gardening Association) is our focus on food gardens. We share some of the same goals of groups working in the re-localization/resilience space (like the Transition Network) but there too, our focus on food gardens sets us apart. We're similar to an Ashoka-sponsored group in Ireland called GIY, but rather than create local chapters like they're doing, we're partnering with existing local groups like schools, churches, etc.
Sustainability Plan
We're finding that there are many people, foundations & companies willing to donate their time, seeds, cash, supplies and know-how for redistribution to garden projects in need. Our sustainability plan is create value by serving as a clearinghouse for these donations and to fund the mini-grants part of our work (our main activity moving forward) via foundations and companies that share our garden goals. It's working, but we'd like to do more.
Founding Story
My epiphany came when I returned to my childhood neighborhood in the suburbs of Portland, ME (where I now reside again) after living and traveling abroad for 10 years. I came home to see that the gardens of my youth had disappeared or been downsized and that the neighborhood farm where I had picked peas and beans as a 12 year old had been plowed under and sown with a different type of crop: a subdivision of 100 houses growing immaculate, chemically-enhanced lawns and absolutely nothing to eat, unless you happen to be a sheep. Prior to my return to Maine, I had been working in Brussels as head of Friends of the Earth Europe, an environmental NGO. I realized that one good way to make the world a better, healthier place was to plant a seed.

Support via Nutrients for All would help us do three things:
1. Increase the number of local partner groups we could support and engage via our Sow It Forward program, especially those in the Global South. This past year, we supported 80 groups total, 7 of which abroad. Our goal this year is to double that.
2. Improve KGI.org as an online community for our partner groups by migrating our Drupal 7 site to Drupal Commons 3.0.
3. Create more global solidarity and networking via improved coordination of World Kitchen Garden Day.

مزيد من المعلومات↓↑ إخفاء↑ إخفاءThe Need: What problem are you trying to solve?
Stroke is a serious health issue worldwide. Stroke has a greater disability impact than any other medical condition. It is a medical emergency and sadly the knowledge and awareness of stroke is poor in Nigeria.
Every year an estimated 200,000 of Nigerians would have a stroke and the outcome varies.
The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!
We aim to help people living with stroke through support and advice, to ensure all touched by stroke gets the help they need.
Part of our mission is to prevent strokes, reduce their effects through providing services, campaigning, education and research
We aim to be able to provide millions of Nigerians with live saving tools to prevent stroke, recognise stroke symptoms, educate people on where to get best stroke care and provide information to stroke survivors so they can get the more enjoyment from their lives.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include your primary activities
Part of our mission is to organise awareness of stroke among different ethnic groups of people in Nigeria by raising the awareness of the public, the media, politicians, policy makers and health professionals. We have been able to have events in Bodija Market Ibadan to educate the market sellers/vendor about the effect of high blood pressure and stroke. we also did a Know your Blood Pressure campaign and checked the blood pressure levels of a lot of people during the event. some were further referred to their doctors for follow up.
The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others also working to address the needs you are and what differentiates you from them. What challenges could these players pose to your success or growth?
Our Peer and Competition is Stroke Action Nigeria. we have a good working relationship with them. Their arm of stroke has her headquarters in the eastern part of Nigeria and they deal with the support, after care part of stroke for stroke survivors. . we carry each other along for stroke events in Nigeria. We are both working towards the same cause of fighting stroke in Nigeria and reducing disability. A good relationship is beneficial to both associations.
