Here's a story about how members of the Changemakers community are promoting youth development in the United States:
Our nation’s brightest high school students shouldn’t be denied a shot at a college education simply because they lack the necessary resources and support. With the proper guidance, a dose of high expectations, and a boost of confidence, one organization is proving that a little push goes a long way.

En 1991, la psicóloga Dilma Felizardo fundó la Casa Renascer y comenzó a trabajar en la atención sociopsicopedagógica de niños, niñas y adolescentes, la mayoría de sexo femenino, en condición de calle y de violencia. Después, su organización estableció la necesidad de expandir sus acciones hacia actividades de profesionalización de las jóvenes y de generación de ingresos, además de fomentar acciones de nutrición, arte y cultura, ciudadanía, entre otras.
Teniendo la oportunidad de hacer su tesis doctoral en España (aunque enfocada en Brasil), Dilma visitó 10 estados brasilero realizando entrevistas con profesionales del área. Allí ella constató una ausencia de formación específica de los profesionales, así como una base teórica consistente y crítica para una efectiva actuación en la resolución de ese problema.
Debido a su experiencia en la Casa Renascer y sus estudios sobre la temática, Dilma tuvo la idea de crear el primer Curso de Postgrado Lato Sensu en Intervención Sociospsicoeducativa en el Área de Explotación Sexual de Niños, Niñas y Adolescentes. Según Dilma, “uno de los principales objetivos del curso es especializar profesionales capaces de desarrollar habilidades y competencias en el área social para que puedan realizar una intervención social de forma calificada y afrontar adecuadamente los permanentes desafíos”.

To scale up our nutritional research by providing our village nurses with tablet computers so that they can gather crucial data in identifying risk factors and causes of malnutrition, correlate which diseases run in parallel circles of malnutrition as well as provide nutrition counseling to mothers.
Problema
Malnutrition is a huge problem in Bangladesh. The UN World Food Program estimates that 48.6% of Bangladesh's children under the age of 5 are chronically malnourished. These children suffer from such debilitating diseases as rickets, cleft lip/palate, preventable blindness, and brain and body growth retardation. Many are unable to remain in school due to their conditions and failure in school and are forced to drop out.
Solución
To qualitatively identify the main causes and risks of malnutrition in children under the age of 5 by providing our 9 rural village nurses with tablet computers to easily collect and enter valuable data which will be analyzed to develop solid answers. The village nurses will serve 50 families each to begin. Each nurse will provide nutrition counseling as well as teach mothers which nutritious vegetables to grow and how to do so successfully. This will prevent further children in those families from suffering, treat those children who have already succumbed to undernourishment and provide a community with the knowledge on how best to care for their children. HOPE will continue to train 20 more nurses to reach more regions and families.
Ejemplo
The Village Nurse enters a home in which one mother has 3 children, all of whom appear underweight and sickly. After examining each child, the nurse determines they are underweight and malnourished. The nurse asks the mothers what the children have eaten in the past 48 hours and enters it into the tablet. The nurse further inquires why the children are not receiving some of the basic food staples. The nurse enters this information and proceeds to provide vitamins and counsel the mother on how to feed her children. She leaves behind information on how to best grow nutritional vegetables and fruits for the kids. The information gathered is sent to HOPE. The nurse returns to follow-up with the family and ensure proper healing and growth.
Impacto
Thus far HOPE has worked with 2 international physicians to conduct research at HOPE Hospital to assess the prevalence of undernourishment among children in Ramu. A study was conducted on 160 children aged 12 to 24 months. The child participants were given Vitamin A and Multivitamin syrup, and their parents were educated on nutrition and proper feeding techniques. There is a strong correlation between parents' educational levels and feeding habits. This has provided HOPE with the information to better develop our nutritional program and ensure that parents with lesser education are thoroughly educated. The study prevented 160 children from developing malnutrition-related diseases such as diarrhea, pneumonia, and the ultimate risk of malnutrition, mortality. Scaling up this project will help us reach 900 children given average family size of 4.4 to collect more data, educate, and prevent.
Mercado
BRAC is addressing nutrition in Bangladesh through its "Sprinkles" Program by selling micronutrient powder (Pushtikona) through its community health workers as well as providing it for free to ultra-poor families. Their approach is mainly targeted at reducing anemia. HOPE's project is different in that we are teaching mothers proper feeding through crops that grow locally, and that any family can plant. We're also targeting very rural populations where only HOPE has access to. The main difference in our projects is that we are conducting research in parallel to treatment.
Plan de Sustentabilidad
Our village health nurses will charge .25 cents to the families they visit. This is a nominal price for the detailed examination, treatment and education they receive. The nurses become self-sufficient through their compensation, therefore HOPE does not need to to support them financially. When HOPE trains more nurses we will ensure funding from our donors. This project is completely self-sustaining.
Historia fundacional
Dr. Mahmood always recognized the lack of health care accessibility for the poor in Bangladesh and very soon after he began practicing, he set up HOPE Foundation. HOPE tirelessly raised money in order to build the 40-bed hospital that stands today. The hospital began as a rented 9-bed facility. Since the beginning, Dr. Mahmood has added specialized care services to the established maternal, child, and general health care. Whenever Dr. Mahmood identifies a treatable condition, he promptly develops a plan for addressing it and does not stop until he sees the project implemented and thriving. Recognizing the role this project could play in reducing child mortality and providing economic stability to nurses, he knew it would be successful.

If HOPE had the added capacity to include nutrient-rich farming, we would implement community gardens in the villages we serve in order to ensure a surplus of healthy foods for our families. The goal of this program would be to include the children in maintaining the gardens, so that they become wholly aware of the foods that they should be eating. In the long-run, these children will have these concrete notions towards healthy foods embedded in them, and will serve their children the correct, nutritious foods. We want to interrupt the trend of malnutrition on a higher level.

Discurso rápido
The Cookbook Project is an international non-profit organization dedicated to reversing the global rise in chronic disease by using food culture and cooking to teach youth about the impact their food choices have on health, community, and the environment.
Problema
Currently, 60% of mortalities worldwide are due to chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. The World Health Organization has categorized this trend as a 'global epidemic of chronic disease'. Young people worldwide are especially at risk for these chronic lifestyle-related diseases as they are inheriting the negative lifestyle habits of their parents.
Solución
In order to reduce this global epidemic of chronic lifestyle-related diseases The Cookbook Project has developed an effective experiential education curriculum that uses food culture and cooking to teach young people about the connection between nutrition, health, and sustainability. In order to reach the most at-risk youth in both the developed and developing world, The Cookbook Project has created the Local Leaders Training Program which trains community leaders through online and on-site programs to implement The Cookbook Project's unique curriculum.
Ejemplo
The Cookbook Project curriculum teaches young people about the connection between their food choices, and the health of themselves, their communities, and the environment. This unique education model not only teaches young participants to make healthy food choices, read labels, and write recipes, but to also plan menus, budget meals, and prepare delicious, healthy, locally sourced and culturally relevant dishes. By empowering young people to make healthy choices at an early age and becoming ambassadors for health in the kitchen, The Cookbook Project's curriculum makes a difference at the local level that will impact the trend of chronic disease at the global level.
Impacto
To date, The Cookbook Project has trained over 300 Local Leaders to work in their communities through online and on-site training programs, reaching an estimated 4,000 at-risk youth. We have partnered with 22 organizations worldwide, in 18 different countries. These Local Leaders are currently working with The Cookbook Project to collect behavior change data for a Curriculum Impact Study, which will span over a two year period. Moving forward, The Cookbook Project plans to train 150 Local Leaders each year through online and on-site programs.
Qualitative reviews of the training program have been overwhelmingly positive:
Tschepo Ramutumbu, from a training in Soweto, South Africa, noted that “This program has taught us a lot about the health challenges facing our own community, and how we can start to change our habits and to use our own food cultures to become healthier."
Mercado
There are many organizations today that are trying to educate young people about making healthy lifestyle decisions. Cooking Matters, H.E.N.R.Y. and USAID Healthy Strides are just a few of the key players. However, none of these organizations use an experiential education model that puts the youth participant at the center of the learning experience in the same way that The Cookbook Project's curriculum does, nor do they use food culture as the starting point for learning. The Cookbook Project also works at the grassroots level internationally to train Local Leaders in their own communities.
Plan de Sustentabilidad
The Cookbook Project plans to become financially sustainable through consistent private fundraising, grant writing, and program related fees. More specifically, the organization is working towards sustaining its foundational Local Leaders Training Program through program-related fees for non-scholarship participants. Over the next two years, the goal is raise funds through the program fees to cover the costs of running this central program.
Historia fundacional
Alissa and Adam are the co-founders of The Cookbook Project. As a public schoolteacher in the USA, Adam saw the negative impact that cheap processed foods were having on his students in the Boston Public Schools. Meanwhile, Alissa was working in environmental policy and saw that the solution to both environmental and health issues globally was the same -- better decision making on behalf of consumers to support sustainable and health-enhancing foods. Together, they observed the negative consumption trends happening globally. As a solution, they have developed an experiential curriculum for The Cookbook Project, to effectively engage youth by teaching them how to and makesustainable food choices, through the vehicle of food culture.

Although we currently ensure the availability of nutrients in all of these areas through our curriculum, which spans topics that touch on each of these areas, additional capacity would help us to provide more resources to the leaders that we train who are working in the field to implement The Cookbook Project Programs. With added capacity, we can offer more extensive scholarships and grants to these Local Leaders, who are serving their communities through The Cookbook Project's Curriculum in the areas of environment, farming, nourishing foods, and human wellness.

Discurso rápido
Plant-a-fruit is a self-help non-profit org equipped with members who have taken initiative to protect our environment. We encourage practical, bottom-up, and participatory solutions to environmental issues. Our model is aimed at mitigating global warming and directly increasing food security.
Problema
Climate change is one of the greatest global challenge, the impacts of climate change are increasingly evident. One disturbing factor is that climate change leads to increased risks for food production potentially leading to higher malnutrition rates. Kenya is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change, most of the population’s livelihoods and economic activities are reliant on climate-sensitive natural resources.
Solución
This project aims to address climate change and enhance food security. There is no better way that this can be realised than partnering with schools. Young pupils are the real change agents for they have the potential of converting small ideas into mass movements. Most schools in Kenya have idle land. Our aim is to help them create fruit orchards and grow food, this will improve the school feeding program .We have been piloting this project in 3 schools . We have seen how pupils love outdoor learning activities and how the pupils can be a great resource when it comes to planting and looking after the fruit trees as they develop other skills. We have seen measurable success and we now seek to expand this project to other schools.
Ejemplo
We encourage schools to engage in climate-smart agroforestry by implementing a school gardening program where students will be encouraged to plant fruit trees and grow locally available nutritious food crops .We have teamed up with Kariobangi pri. school to create a fruit and food garden . We have planted 103 fruit trees of different varieties that include mangoes,guava,avacado,sapote,tree tomato,banana and indigeneous vegetables . This is the pilot project that served as an example to be replicated elsewhere.Students were very excited to be part of this activity and many enrolled to the environment club established. Students take care of the garden and very soon they will be able to eat fresh farm produce planted by themselves.
Impacto
To date, more than 300 pupils,teachers & non-teaching staff have directly participated in our fruit planting and food growing events where they get to learn more about environment conservation and horticulture. Necessary training will be given to them to develop the skills and approaches they need to grow food and plant trees in their school, and embed growing across their whole school and neighbourhoods.Idle land has been reclaimed and put into proper use. Many schools have pieces of idle land , we have turned such land into fruit orchards/gardens. This takes the home grown school feeding program a step further by making schools eat what they grow. Schools will be in a better position to interact with the local farmers exchanging products and ideas in the process. Within a short period of time schools we have partnered with will start harvesting high quality fruits and food crops.
Mercado
Our strategy is unique for we have specialized in grafted fruit trees and we work with students who we recruit as our ambassadors. Lack of environmental literacy is a major factor that leads to environmental degradation. We intend to inculcate environmental literacy and food growing skills,we will practically engage the students in fruit planting & food growing and offer them training on grafting and fruit tree nursery development. We intend to set up an incubator that will help the youth transform their ventures into business models that are sustainable and will help in wealth creation.
Plan de Sustentabilidad
We act as a social enterprise, operating under strong business principles, generating our own revenues through the sale of grafted fruit seedling and providing specialized extension services but with the sole purpose of effecting social change. We have great potential to team up with various organizations’ that are willing to give us in-kind support and resources to support fruit tree planting and food growing in schools.
Historia fundacional
Plant-a-fruit is a self-help not-for-profit organization equipped with members who have taken initiative to protect our environment. We started as a self-help group in 2009 called TAF initiative with a mission to protect and clean our environment.
The fact that climate change affects food production and news of people going without food made us rethink our strategy. No one should go hungry because of lack of food, all of us cannot drive cars, that's acceptable but one to go without food is unacceptable. This gave birth to plantafruit.org that will enable us expand our activities and realise our vision of a fruit tree/garden in every kenyan home and institution.

1. Create creative person who can invented their own "path" based on their knowledge and life value.
2. Change the young people perspective about their own culture and tradition.As something valuable in life.
Problema
-Many young people cant continue their study not only because bad economic situation, but also because lack of motivation too pursue education.
-Low quality education in West Sumatera which create unmotivated and creative student
-The cultural value and tradition started to vanish among young people
- Lack of skill & entrepreneur spirit among young people, increase number of unskilled job seeker.
Solución
The solution that we offer here are, we will create activity that combine all those need, education, life value and skill based on our culture. All this skill will be develop based on the youngsters interest.
Like we will teach youngster to cook, for who likes to cook. But all the food will be cooked will be traditional food, with traditional way. And during the those cooking time we will give them introduction about the history of the food and how the used this food in the old time.
We also will teach them traditional performance such as singing and dancing, if they have interest in art.
All those skilled we will completed by giving them, simple and basic management lesson to empower their skilled to increase their economic situation
Ejemplo
The form of this festival mostly will held in a competition format. First we will show them how to do it, next they have to do it by them self in certain among of time.
Like our reading event, we targeted to do it in 4 orphanage and after finish with all orphanage, we finalized those event with reading competition for all participants. And after we show them how to develop this folklore knowledge into more wider area, to our traditional theater activity. And then they can build a small theater group.
Its work the same to traditional cooking class, and other class that we planned to open soon.
Impacto
Like our reading event : impacted 200 teenager in 4 orphanage. As a final result we hope, from that orphanage we can created 1 theater group (contain of 20 kids) that can be hired for festival or art event.
We hope this number keep growing as we wider our activity, to cooking and other traditional skill.
In the future, the number of beneficiaries will be unlimited. Depend how much we can provide the resources and how hard we working on it. We will openly working with other culture also, and allow our work and pattern to be replicated by others in their own area.
Mercado
Our targeted is low income young people from West Sumatera.
But so far, in West Sumatera area we have not yet found the same program has been done by others.
Plan de Sustentabilidad
So far we still using our own resources to financing or activity. but in the future we planned for sustainability by commercialized some of our activity. Beside give free lesson for low income young people, ( like what we did now) we will open commercial course for regular young people. All income that we get from this activity is using to support all activity for our regular activity. We hope we will open this course in the next 6 month.
Historia fundacional
We decided to established the foundation was all because our concern to our cultural lost, that effected by our own people. Its happen when we have small accident, where my mom have an accident. She bumped to young girl, and then when she say sorry, the girl really upset and react inappropriately to my mother. No more respect to elderly among young people, like we used to have and teach in our culture.
Many tradition has been vanished from young people life, in the name of modernization. And one of the most important thing that start to vanished from young people in West Sumatera are, traditional value. And its give us an idea to build institution to preserve this cultural value and also bring along real answer to problem in our area.

Resúmen: ¿De qué tema o problema específico trata tu emprendimiento?
Over the past several years, we have witnessed drastic budget reductions at the local and state level. Everything from environmental agencies to transportation departments have been dramatically cut. Youth Bureaus in New York State are county agencies that fund youth summer employment, youth development programs and services in their respective counties. The bureaus fund programs that many youth depend on to survive and thrive. In addition to a funding role, Youth Bureaus provide a one stop referral resource for youth and adults seeking services for teens and young adults.
Although Youth Bureaus are county operated, a high percentage of funding is provided by New York State. This reliance has created serious budget shortages over the past five years. From 2008 to 2009, Youth Development and Delinquency Prevention Program (YDDP) funding, which is distributed to Youth Bureaus statewide, fell from $29.5 million to $20.0 million.1 By 2011, that funding stream fell to $15.9 million. It is currently projected that Youth Bureau funding will decrease again by 33% for the upcoming budget year. This funding drop has and will continue to have dramatic consequences.
In my rural county of 65,000 people, the services provided by the youth bureau are the only support available. We must fight to support these programs and I plan on doing just that.
Enunciado de tu misión: ¿Qué hace tu emprendimiento?
Welcome to Benevolence Inn. This social enterprise, family oriented lodging chain will be so that after expenses are paid, 50% of the profit from the hotel will benefit non-profit youth development programs. When a person travels to and stays in a community, they are benefiting that communities’ youth. When a Benevolence Inn is located in that same individual's community, those communities’ youth programs will benefit from travelers and tourism. The hotels will be a win-win for travelers and communities alike. Several college and industry experts are currently researching the concept. Some have told me the concept will not work but that is just like what people originally said about my youth center idea. Sometimes miracles happen. Some experts have been very supportive of the idea and have said it can work with the right team and startup funding. My current plan calls for an initial 60 room hotel in the Western New York area. Over 75% of entry level jobs at the hotels will be fulfilled by youth. I plan for the organization to grow into a national brand in the future.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Suppose an individual donates one million dollars to a youth program. The program has a $100,000 budget annually. In ten years, this donated money will be gone. When programs are provided funding from Benevolence Inn, they be feel confident that funds will be available for decades to come. Instead of funds being exhausted, youth development programs can receive Benevolence Inn funding for the programs life period with the understanding that funding will fluctuate over time and is dependent on the hotels’ profitability. We will always recommend that youth programs continue to seek out traditional methods of funding and use Benevolence Inn funds as a reserve so that when other sources cease, programs will not be affected.
La comunidad: Define tu comunidad, local, nacional o internacional, con la cual vas a trabajar. ¿Cuál es tu público objetivo, a qué población vas a dirigir tus acciones? ¿Existen otras organizaciones que ya trabajan en este tema en tu comunidad?
For the opportunity to help local youth, guests will feel special knowing they are making a difference while they sleep. According to a recent survey, respondents stated that when similar rates, services, and qualities are offered, respondents would prefer to stay at a hotel that benefits youth programs over a national brand.
The services for children, teens, and families that will be offered for free at our brand are not offered complimentary at other national brand. Although these are major advantages, challenges will persist when in comparison to our competitors. These corporations are nationally recognized and have national support teams. Our brand will be independently run and not yet hold the recognition of a large chain. We will also lack the financial credibility often held by large hotel chains. Although these are significant challenges, we are currently receiving feedback from national experts who say that these issues can be overcome and that Benevolence Inn will work!
El fundamento de tu Historia: ¿Qué fue lo que te inspiró para hacer tu emprendimiento y por qué?
Throughout my young life I have been very different. I have been diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome, a condition that causes me to have unmanageable motor and physical “tics” since third grade. I also was diagnosed with Dysgraphia, a condition that causes very poor handwriting. There have been benefits to being “different.” I have never followed the crowd and have always done my own thing. Over the past several years, I just thought and thought about things. I developed ideas that were unique and innovative. One day I decided to share one of those dreams and I hope I can share it with you.
Being a youth who does not participate in sports and has unique interests, I found it extremely difficult to find interesting activities in my small school. In early 2009, I approached my school with the idea of expanding clubs and activities. Due to the economic meltdown, the school did not see it feasible to create new activities. I then looked at what could be done in the community. I thought of the idea of a youth center. There had been attempts to open such centers in the past but all efforts failed. I began to research what our community could use and benefit from. It became aware to me that the small size of our village could pose problems for the youth center and the number of youth who would attend. I thought of a countywide model. If an activity attracted ten youths from one community, think of how better it would be if ten kids came from seventeen different towns and communities throughout a county. You could have a very sustainable program. You see, this project really awakened me and gave me a purpose in life. I then decided I needed a plan and help with the project. When applying for a summer job, I learned about a group run through the county youth bureau called EDIFY, which stands for Educating and Directing Influential Forces with Youth. This is a group of teens from around the county who meet monthly to discuss issues revolving around youth. I approached this group with my youth center idea and we have worked together ever since. I then determined that I needed further education on how to run a nonprofit and manage a project. I joined a year long program called The Young Entrepreneurs Academy at SUNY Geneseo. This ten month program teaches students how to start and effectively operate a business or non-profit organization. This program was instrumental in helping to plan for the youth center’s success. After the ten month program ended in June 2010, the youth center project began to even further develop, having formed a committee, been awarded eight hundred dollars in investor funding, and most remarkably, having partnered with the not-for-profit ABVI-Goodwill. ABVI-Goodwill was opening a store and community center in Geneseo, the community I reside in. ABVI approached our group when they heard about the youth center and how it needed a home. Both groups then joined projects together. The youth center opened in November of 2010 at the ABVI-Goodwill Community Center and will serve the youth of Livingston County, hopefully for many years to come.
Describe tu emprendimiento en 1-2 enunciados
A key component attracting guests to Benevolence Inn will be our giving to youth development programs. Imagine being able to benefit charity by staying at a hotel that is very comparable to already existing national brands.
In eight to ten years, three hotels will be operational. The two new hotels will be very similar to the first model and will be located in tourist and necessity travel concentrated areas that face a lack of youth development programs or services. Feasibility studies will be completed to determine whether a location and model would be practical for a new build. These hotels will be built from earned capital at the initial Benevolence Inn and from social investors. Investment can be difficult for a social enterprise but can be achieved by proving to investors that our brand is established and sustainable.
Youth Programs across the United States have such an impact on today’s youth. From recreation programs, mentoring, and business programs, youth have been positively impacted by these programs for generations. In many communities, these programs have suffered from a lack of funding. Funding becomes less available as each year passes. In many smaller communities, these programs do not even exist. Benevolence In will fill these gaps and ensure our youth have a bright future.

Tudabujja: Teaching Farming Skills to Street Children in Uganda
Etapa

Discurso rápido
Retrak offers street children in Africa a permanent alternative to life on the streets. Tudabujja, Retrak's halfway farm in Uganda, teaches 90 children valuable agricultural skills that enable them to make sustainable contributions to their own and their family’s wellbeing.
Problema
For the estimated 4,000 children living full-time on the streets of Kampala, Uganda, life is characterized by a lack of basic needs, vulnerability to being abused, ill health and stigmatization as criminals. Even finding food is a major daily challenge, and many have to resort to rummaging through garbage dumps for anything to eat. Such an existence leads to malnutrition, the spread of disease and susceptibility to other illnesses.
Solución
Tudabujja provides children the chance to learn agricultural skills. It gives them space to adjust from street life to family life and teaches them the basic skills required for farming in their home environment. Children receive theory lessons and actively participate in working the farm, which includes a wide range of livestock and crops. Providing children with this period away from the streets in a family environment helps them to work through psychological trauma, develop a positive outlook for the future and learn valuable skills on the farm and in the classroom, ensuring that when they return to family and community life, they will adapt and settle more easily.
Ejemplo
Ali was 13 years old and had been on his own for 3 years. Before coming to the streets, he lived with his father, whose job took him away from home for days and sometimes weeks at a time. There was often no food at his home, so Ali and a friend decided to leave their village and come to Kampala in hopes of a better life. They scrounged for food in rubbish pits and slept on discarded boxes on the ground, until a friend told them about Retrak.
Today, Ali is in Tudabujja where he’s being prepared to return home by living in a family setting with 7 other boys and a “house parent” and learning agricultural skills. He’ll take what he’s learned at Tudabujja to his village and use these skills to help feed and support himself and his father.
Impacto
Tudabujja reaches about 90 children each year (36 children at a time for an average 3-4 month stay). Impacts include:
• Agricultural education gives children the skills to secure food, income or employment;
• Through one-on-one counseling, children overcome past trauma;
• Children learn about HIV/AIDS, helping to reduce their chance of infection;
• Children receive education, some learning to read and write for the first time, and others catching up in order to join school again when they are resettled;
• Children play, keep fit, and build confidence and trusting friendships;
• Children gain better health by visiting the clinic and being treated for infected wounds and diseases;
• Through being reintegrated at home or with a foster family, children gain the care and protection of a family;
• Children are in a secure environment where they can forget the struggle of street life.
Mercado
Retrak differentiates itself from the many organizations that work with orphans and vulnerable children in Africa by providing support primarily to full time street children, who live and work on the streets and are most at risk from malnutrition, exploitation, abuse and poor health. Standard programs, such as feeding or learning programs, are unable to reach these highly marginalized children, who are very mobile and live in the shadows. Retrak tailors its programs to meet the needs of the individual child who may fall through the cracks of these larger mainstream programs.
Plan de Sustentabilidad
Retrak’s approach to ensuring sustainability is two-fold. First we ensure that children move on to sustainable independent family and community life with no ongoing reliance on Retrak, and second we are building our capacity to raise support through sustainable long-term local and international partnerships. For almost 20 years, Retrak has grown by increasing and diversifying its funding sources, ensuring long-term financial sustainability.
Historia fundacional
Retrak began in 1994 (under the name “Tigers Club”) by two expats, Paul Joynson-Hicks and Matt Winn, in response to the large number of street boys who were playing an informal weekly soccer game in Kampala. They saw that sport provided the ideal, non-threatening vehicle by which the boys could rebuild their trust in adults and, with professional help, be given a chance to move away from the streets. Backed by public donations, they gained the trust of the street children and the respect of the Ugandan authorities for their professional approach to the work. Since then they have gone from strength to strength, becoming formally known as Retrak when it expanded to Ethiopia in 2003. We also now work with local partners in Kenya and Tanzania.

In 2006, the president of TdB, Dr. Fábio Bibancos, was recognized by the Schwab Foundation as the Social Entrepreneur of the Year because he created the project Dentists for Good. This award is conferred in Brazil, in partnership with the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo. In 2007, Ashoka named Dr. Fábio Bibancos as a fellow for his work completed, highlighting the project along with social entrepreneurs from all around the world.
Queremos saber acerca del momento en que dijiste “!Aja!”. Comparte la historia de dónde y cuándo el/los fundadores vieron el potencial de esta solución para cambiar el mundo.
While giving lectures about prevention in public schools, Dr. Fábio Bibancos noticed that, for many young people, prevention just wasn't working anymore—so he teamed up with some colleagues and together, they began to take on pro bono cases in their practices. Thus, the idea for what would become the largest network of specialized volunteers was born: Dentists for Good.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultarExplica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
The innovation in the project Dentists for Good lies in its management model: we manage a network of volunteer dentists who see the project's beneficiaries in their own offices. Which is to say, the beneficiary is treated by his Dentist for Good as if he were a normal, private patient. Besides that, the volunteer dentist can choose how many patients he wants to take on depending on his schedule and availability.
Because of this, the project does not have limits to its growth, and it is highly replicable: the project can take place in any city or region that has dentists—or any practicing clinical dentist can become a Dentist for Good.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
Normally, social organizations that offer treatments and health solutions do so at their headquarters or at a specific address, and they quickly reach monthly limits determined by their ability and availability—not to mention the enormous waiting list for those in need.
The project Dentists for Good is characterized by offering a network of volunteer dentists that has not stopped growing precisely because it has not limited its service in its offices.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
1 - The project is internally seen as a map of growth facilitated by its chief actors and factors: coordinators, dentists, beneficiaries, open positions, and waiting list. In addition, the team has an active call center, which is where we conduct daily follow-ups with beneficiaries, treatment status, dentists, and newly-referred individuals. This creates a dynamic system: the opening of new spots (after the conclusion of treatment, for example) and the referral of new beneficiaries.
2 – The horizontal hierarchy of the organization also sustains the project, in light of all the team managers who are directly responsible for the systematic increase in numbers of volunteers and beneficiaries.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
Through monthly strategy revisions based on an analysis of the project map (dentists vs. beneficiaries). Besides that, we hold training events for coordinators: the project's principal volunteer is the regional volunteer coordinator. He is the person responsible for implementing the project in his city—screening and registering new volunteers. The project offers a 4-day training session for its coordinators, implementing goals and teaching the organization's new strategies. With knowledgeable and motivated coordinators, the training session guarantees the success of next year's goals due to the coordinator's personal oversight for the rest of the year. Right now we are studying the viability of holding mini-trainings for new coordinators throughout the year.

Brazil is a country of toothless individuals. Research indicates that half of the Brazilian population does not have a mouth full of teeth, and a third of adolescents in public schools have never been to the dentist. In the rest of the world, the problem is not much different. To make things worse, the general population's access to dental kits (toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss), which is the only tool that prevents oral damage, is very limited (the absence of these items in public health clinics and in the “basic food basket” is proof of this). Beyond that, society still does not view access to oral health as a medical right, but rather as a luxury. On the other hand, the government does not offer any sort of viable program, and the dentists in general do not see themselves as agents of health and social transformation.

The project Dentists for Good manages a network of volunteer dentists who provide services to youth in need from ages 11 to 17 who have serious dental conditions. All of the treatment support and followup—selection, referral, monitoring of monthly treatments, and conclusion—is done at the project's office. The project has three main base groups: volunteer dentists (who see one or more youths in their own offices, at their own discretion); beneficiaries (who are treated by the dentists and selected through screenings in public schools and institutions); and lastly, regional coordinators. These are also volunteers and dentists, but their mission is to stimulate the project in their cities by hosting screenings and recruiting new volunteer dentists.
¿Cuál es tu visión y objetivos generales?
Our vision is to help create a world where everyone can smile, and our mission is to change society's perception of both oral health and the dental profession in relation to its socio-environmental impact. Our goal is to offer solutions for accessing dental care while stressing healing, prevention, and education. Our proposals:
For society: to promote solutions for access to dental care
For the dental profession: To empower and mobilize dental professionals to adopt new socio-environmental conduct.
For the business sector: To discuss ethical practices in dentistry. To incentivize low-cost products and services in order to promote access. To inspire responsible conduct in other sectors.
For government: To influence and change policies.
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
Through the recovery of oral health, we seek the following for our patients:
-Increase in quality of life
-Ease of entry into the job market, given that companies either discriminate against or do not hire those without teeth. And, consequently, an increase in monthly household income.
-Rescue of social and family life, due to the fact that almost all new beneficiaries have suffered bullying and social discrimination at school and in their social circles.
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
Young people from 11 to 17 years old who attend public school or use public institutions, who are in need, and who present with serious oral conditions. The choice of this public is because the social impact of serious dental damage is much larger in adolescents than in adults (social environment, employability, bullying, etc.), and also because dentition is already formed (in comparison to children).
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
Screenings in public schools and social institutions. The volunteer coordinator, along with a director or social worker, reserves a time for screening registered students. The volunteer coordinator conducts a visual, non-invasive exam of all the youths and fills out a record form called IHC. This record also shows the social condition of the screened individual. Next, the coordinator sends all of the IHC records to the organization headquarters, where candidates are selected based on 3 criteria: the oldest (who are the closest to employment), the poorest, and those who have the worst oral damage.
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
Through its network of volunteers, Dentists for Good offers free dental treatment to youths from 11 years old on until they reach 18. Or rather, once in the project, youths only exit once they have reached the age of legal majority and received all of the necessary treatment, including orthodontic.
Smiles for Good – a training seminar for volunteer coordinators, an 4-day event that, in addition to training new coordinators, is geared towards motivating, aligning, and training existing network coordinators. In 2012, the event hosted 400 coordinators from 12 countries.
Smiles for Good Awards: an awards event, open to the public, which has the goal of recognizing the work of the best volunteers in our network. In 2012, the awards event hosted 1800 guests in the Abril Theater.
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
The Abrinq Foundation runs the Adotei um Sorriso (Adopt a Smile) project, but in contrast to Dentists for Good, this project has no criteria for selecting beneficiaries. In general, dentists and clinics end up providing some kind of free or voluntary service on some level to those in need. The problem is that the people, including dental professionals, who participate in these one-off events believe that the dental and social problems have been solved, which is far from true. Another problem is that oftentimes, because of these services, public schools close their doors to our volunteer coordinators; the school's directors, who have the final say, do not let our project come to the school because they believe that there is no longer a problem in their area.
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
Right now the project is 90% funded by supporters (companies). In the medium term, the project relies on a strategy that reverses this percentage and comes to depend less on private social investment. One of the strategies is the creation of a reserve fund by selling dental products, whose returns will be reverted back to the project. Another challenge will be bringing the project to rural regions that do not have dentists. Right now, the Dentists for Good model is essentially urban. Therefore, we have been studying implementation and have designed a few projects in areas that are far from urban centers, in Brazil as well as on the African continent.
Describe brevemente tu estrategia de crecimiento futura
To increase the number of volunteers, beneficiaries, and regions and countries where the project operates. Diversification of donations and of the organization's resources. Project implementation in rural, distant areas where there are no dentists, such as the African continent.

leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Around 31 thousand youths in 12 countries have benefited from the project—creating a network of specialized volunteers that is the largest in the world today. The model of the volunteer in his own office revolutionizes healthcare access wherever the project goes, forming a network of health and support where there was none before. The social perception of the volunteers also changes: dentists change their visions as healthcare professionals and turn into a transformative element in their cities, proposing changes in public policy, in local emergency clinics, and in schools. By recovering oral health, we enable the beneficiaries to return to their social lives and save their self esteem, and they are given a real chance to integrate into the economically active population. Furthermore, the project has a social return: when added up, each beneficiary costs just R$50 on average—whereas if each beneficiary had to pay for his treatment, it would cost an average of R$12,000.
¿Qué métodos cuantitativos de impacto social estás aplicando (si estuvieras aplicando alguno)?
Our project uses a CRM software and with it, we manage every stage of treatment in each of the project's cities, and every minute we update patient numbers, dentists, availabilities, and waiting list, all organized by region, city, state, and country. In addition, we conduct research among patients and the best dentists in the network.
¿Tu solución podría operar en otros conextos o regiones? Si así fuera, ¿en dónde?
Yes, in practically any place in the world where there is a dentist, due to the model in which the dentist sees the beneficiary in the comfort of his own practice. In regions where there are no dentists, which are quite remote, it may be viable to install a network and a mobile structure that have been previously evaluated in certain regions of the world.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
In 2013, 45 thousand total beneficiaries.
In 2014, 55 thousand;
and in 2015, 65 thousand beneficiaries.
As for volunteer dentists, in 2013, there will be 16 thousand, followed by around 20 thousand in 2014 and, in 2015, about 30 thousand volunteer dentists in total.

Right now, TbD (the NGO in charge of Dentists for Good) works with eight collaborators, six in Brazil and two in Portugal. These are companies or foundations that collaborate with OSCIP. Apart from that, we are putting into effect a strategy to diversify project's sources of funding. One of those is the Friends for Good campaign, which works with the network of Dentists for Good coordinators. In this campaign, the coordinator asks his friends for help in increasing not just funding, but also the network of collaborators and friends of the project. Our goal for this first year is to raise R$100,000 by the end of the year. Another strategy is the sale of products whose profits revert back into the project. With the help of collaborators in the dental product industry, a part of the returns will be donated to the project. The amount will be proportional to the number of products sold to the Dentists for Good, who will receive progressive discounts according to the number of patients served. We have also contracted a consultant who specializes in events, partnerships, and product releases to help us to develop new revenue sources together with other companies and initiatives.

Currently, in order to generate its own revenue, the project only relies on bazaars and shops selling the project's products. The proposal to revert revenue generated from the sale of dental products by project collaborators started this year. This will increase investment in the project (beyond the minimum amount necessary to qualify as a collaborator) in proportion to sales of products to the Dentists for Good.

Resúmen: ¿De qué tema o problema específico trata tu emprendimiento?
En la Ciudad de México aproximadamente 60% de las personas que viven con VIH no lo saben. Esto es una muestra de la falta de información o de lo poco efectiva que resulta ser. En este sentido, es imperativo generar nuevas estrategias que permitan llegar a más personas jóvenes con información amigable para crear conciencia de la importancia de la salud sexual específicamente en el tema de VIH.
Enunciado de tu misión: ¿Qué hace tu emprendimiento?
Empoderar a las y los jóvenes con información y conocimiento desde la perspectiva de juventud para generar agentes con iniciativa de cambio. Que las y los jóvenes reproduzcan la información entre pares. Esto visibilizando la importancia del tema de VIH.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Realizamos materiales guía que incluyen información que se da en un taller el cual puede ser replicado por otras y otros jóvenes después de que ellas y ellos lo tomaron. Estos materiales están diseñados con un lenguaje amigable, es decir, las palabras con fáciles de comprender por las personas jóvenes. Los talleres que se imparten en escuelas, instituciones, comunidades, etc. son realizados con materiales didácticos y datos duros actuales que refuerzan la idea de conciencia en casa una y uno de las y los jóvenes participantes.
La comunidad: Define tu comunidad, local, nacional o internacional, con la cual vas a trabajar. ¿Cuál es tu público objetivo, a qué población vas a dirigir tus acciones? ¿Existen otras organizaciones que ya trabajan en este tema en tu comunidad?
El trabajo que se hace es nacional. Nuestro objetivo es llegar a las personas jóvenes. Existen otras organizaciones que realizan una labor similar, sin embargo, la particularidad es el lenguaje que utilizamos así como las personas que damos los talleres, ya que somos personas jóvenes que trabaja para empoderar a otras y otros jóvenes dándoles información que es de utilidad primordial.
El fundamento de tu Historia: ¿Qué fue lo que te inspiró para hacer tu emprendimiento y por qué?
Aunque existe mucha información tanto en documentos virtuales, como en libros, no toda esta información está adecuada a la realidad específica de la Ciudad de México, ni toda la información a la que se tiene acceso es cierta o clara. Es por ello que vimos la necesidad de acercarnos a las y los jóvenes con materiales innovadores que contuvieran un lenguaje claro con datos información de organismos especializados. Actualmente tenemos la idea de impulsar una app para smartphone que incluya materiales interactivos con información esencial para la prevención de VIH, así como para dar una serie de pasos básicos de qué hacer después de que te dan un resultado positivo a la prueba.

FACTOR PSY, nace hace un año de las sinergias entre las tres entidades, para nutrir a la sociedad de unos recursos integrales en salud mental, tiempo libre, educación y mundo laboral, para los colectivos en riesgo de exclusión y el colectivo de enfermedad mental. Abarcando cualquier edad, pero prestando especial atención a la infancia, adolescencia y adulto joven y a la población psicogeriátrica.

leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultarExplica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
La singularidad de Factor PSY, se apoya en al amplia experiencia de los profesioneales que promovemos los tres pilares de Factor PSY:
Fundación Farasdués: dedicada al tiempo libre, la cultura, la acción social y el apoyo a colectivos de exclusión, con su proyecto " Caballos de MArtincho"
Centro Especial de Empleo Aportia Sociedad Laboral: Integración de la persona con discapacidad en el mundo laboral, llegando a ser miembro de la sociedad laboral.
Cooperativa Terapéutica DAR-SE: compuesta por profesionales de la salud mental, que tras crear el centro Hospitalario PRISMA (www.prismasa.es), pretenden organizar la red extrahospitalaria de atención.
Nuestra innovación es el enfoque holísitco de la terpaia para colectivos afectos de enfermedad mental, colectivos en riesgo de exclusión y psicogeriatría. Basándonos en unos protocolos de actuación flexibles, llevaremos la terapia al individuo, en su casa, en la calle, en el trabajo, en los lugares de ocio, en los viajes...
La base emocional de la persona se fortalece con el trabajo diario en todas las esferas del individuo.
El proyecto no depende de estructuras rígidas y costosas, depende del factor humano. LAs poblaciones diana, se encuentran en cualquier zona, región, ciudad, pueblo etc
Se puede adaptar a paises desarrollados, en crecimiento o en vías de desarrollo, aceptando la idiosincrasia social, económica y política de cada páis, y formando a los propios individuas afectados para generar una red de colaboración y atención continuada.
No inventamos nada, simplemente volvemos a la lógica, al INDIVIDUO.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
Los modelos actuales sean de iniciativa pública o privada, se han basado, a pesar del intento en los últimos años de llevar los tratamientos a la sociedad, en estructuras rígidas, con tratamientos de media y larga duración y muy costosos, con gran des procesos de cronificación. Los circuitos establecidos, dependen de múltiples estructuras sin protocolos claros de actuación, y que en la mayoría de las ocasiones dependen de fiananciación pública.
En los últimos años en España se han cerrado recursos, precisando el sistema de una reorganización, aligerando el esqueleto costoso e inoperante.
En los 15 años que llevamos en la salud mental siempre nos hemos acercado al colectivo considerado refractario, que tristemente incluye gran número de niños, adolescentes, jóvenes y adultos jovenes.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
El sistema operativo es la lógica y el trabajo en equipo de todos los profesionales que componemos el proyecto. Nuestra fortaleza es la amplia experiencia en todos los campos de actuación que proponemos, y siempre dirigida a colectivos complicados y que precisan un abordaje integral. La confianza plena que tenemos en el sistema que proponemos y el haber pasado también por la experiencia de montar un Centro Hospitalario Tradicional, que nos ha permitido detectar las verdaderas carencias de estos colectivos. En estos años hemos experimentado la mayoría de los procesos que proponemos, comprobando que en patologías graves se pueden disminuir los tratamientos farmacológicos, la cronificación y el deterioro, siempre que actuemos desde la comunidad.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
Por desgracia los inidcadores de salud mental y de colectivos en riesgo de exclusión siguen creciendo. En Europa estamos viviendo una crisis que afecta directamente a los factores emocionales, centrándonos en Aragón, se ha incrementado el consumo de alcohol, el consumo de cannabis entre jóvenes de 14-18, lideramos el espectro nacional y el consumo de fármacos.
Si nos fijamos en un país en vías de desarrollo y en datos de la OMS, la OPS... la incidencia y prevalencia de las patológias y la desadaptación social, escolar y laboral aumentan.
Al hablar de edad avanzada, el aumento de calidad de vida genera unas necesidades de atención en psicogeriatría que hasta ahora no existían.
Nuestro crecimiento lo marca la propia evolución de la sociedad.

Por favor describe tu solución con más detalle
La solución Factor Psy es la adaptación del profesional y el técnico al campo de batalla del individuo. Promocionar la empatía, la asertividad y el desarrollo de la personalidad, a través de actividades:
Terapias individuales y grupales, que se pueden desarrollar en cualquier lugar y espacio.
Actividades de tiempo libre, ya sean deportivas, culturales, de ocio.
Enseñanza y formación, generar riqueza en la persona, que favorezca su integración social y laboral.
Generar economía con el autoempleo, desarrollar el trabajo colaborativo.
Adaptar la sociedad a estos colectivos.
El nuemo modelo mundial demuestra que cualquiera de nosotros puede estar mañana en cuadrado en un colectivo de riesgo de exclusión.
Un modelo flexible e integral.
¿Cuál es tu visión y objetivos generales?
Los actuales dispositivos para el abordaje de la patología mental grave parten en muchos casos de diferentes formas de organización, administración y de ubicación. Esto dificulta que la asistencia al individuo sea completa, integral y compacta.
FACTOR PSY es un recurso asistencial con la capacidad y posibilidad de abordar todos los factores que componen la vida del individuo (biológico, psicológico, académico, familiar, lúdico, social y laboral), debido a las sinergias que establece entre los distintos dispositivos que lo compone.
Desarrollar y mantener las sinergias establecidas con los distintos recursos de Factor Psy. Diseñar con el individuo las diversas actividades que necesita de dichas sinergias, y su integración y seguimiento.
ADAPTAR AL INDIVIDUO
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
Unificar teorías, sistemas y actuaciones ya creadas, que por desgracia, se han desarrollado de forma independiente. No se ha llegado a crear, salvo en contadas excepciones, un circuito real y funcional, que cubra las necesidades de estos colectivos.
Llegar a inidviduos que no se adaptan a los sitemas establecidos.
Preparar al médico, al psiquiatra, al psicologo, al técnico, al monitor, para adaptarse al paciente, al usuario. Generar vínculos reales.
Aportamos creación de empleo y la posibilidad de que nuestros individuos dianas, a la vez que siguen la terapia, se formen y puedan llegar a ser parte de nuestra red terapéutica.
Economizar a un medio y largo plazo el coste económico.
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
Todas aquellas personas que presenten un trastorno de la organización del yo y de su relación con su mundo circundante y que impidan o dificulten su adaptación al medio familiar, social, escolar y /o profesional. Se incluyen:
-Trastornos generalizados del desarrollo.
- Fracaso escolar.
- Adicciones, socioadicciones y tecnoadicciones.
- Esquizofrenia, Trastorno Esquizotípico.
- Trastornos del Humor.
- Trastornos neuróticos severos.
- Trastornos de personalidad.
- Disarmonías evolutivas severas.
- Trastornos de la conducta alimentaria.
- Trastornos de la comunicación, etc.
- Las patologías con trastornos de conducta graves.
- Adolescentes con bajo nivel intelectual y con trastorno mental.
- Trastorno mental grave injertado en cuadro psicoorgánico........
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
La amplia experiencia de los componentes de Factor Psy en el sector de la discapacidad y la enfermedad, cada uno en su campo y su reconocimiento en el sector, la necesidad social de un recurso multidisciplinar como este en el momento actual, así como la publicitación en los medios de comunicación hacen que la captación de usuarios sea una actividad fácil y garantizada. A partir de ahí, a través de los profesionales y el propio individuo y familia se diseña un tratamiento personalizado que se revisa y modifica periódicamente.
El uso de las nuevas tecnologías, las relaciones ya establecidas con estructuras públicas, privadas, empresariales, nos permiten poder llegar directamente a un gran número de colectivos.
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
Sesiones terapéuticas, individuales, familiares, grupales, a domicilio, a distancia (Streeming, teléfono, correo electrónico), tratamiento farmacológico etc…
Sesiones didácticas o formativas, de desarrollo personal, habilidades sociales, orientación vocacional, formación profesional, búsqueda de empleo…
Supervisión de pisos, formación en convivencia y salubridad.
Actividades lúdico-deportivas con enfoque terapéutico: Club canino con Saiko y Ras (Golden retriever) y T.T.A.P. (Técnico en Terapia Asistida por Perros). Taller musical (rock y percusión). Escuela deportiva (navegación, escalada y montañismo, rugby). Expresión corporal. Taller de Humor y de teatro. Club Hípico con actividades de equinoterapia e hípica adaptada y no adaptada.
Talleres Laborales y acompañamiento al empleo.
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
Nombramos las dos zonas que conocemos mejor:
Aragón: hay estructuras públicas, semi-públicas y privadas ( Rey Ardid, Federico Ozanam....), que desarrollan actividades de integración, terapia etc...
Con nuestra propuesta son aliados nuestros, ya que ellos disponen de las estructuras, y nosotros proponemos usar distintos dispositivos ajenos y llevar la terapia a ellos. Actualmente el cambio de modelo de la sociedad, favorece las sinergias.
En Colombia, Santa MArta, no hay una estrucutra generada, debemos crear la estructura básica y desarrollar una red. Se ha contactado con los entes políticos, económicos, educativos, sociales y hay una predisposición de apoyar el proyecto. El crecimiento de la zona precisa de recursos socio-sanitarios.
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
El desafía de la NO-CRISIS, que vivimos, NO-CRISIS, porque es un cambio social, pero evidentemetne la economía afecta a nuestras estrucucturas empresariales. Aún así estamos generando nuevos proyectos y empresas, involucrando gente formada y con amplia experiencia en sectores como la gestión, las ventas, el marketing etc
Esto nos permite contar con contactos en los distintos agentes sociales (política, economís, administración, empresa privada...), a los que estamos involucrando en el proyecto FACTOR PSY.
Sinceramente el únic0o factor que nos puede desestabilizar es el económico, disponemos de los conocimientos, de la experiencia, de los contactos, de la ilusión y de la inconsciencia suficiente para seguir generando proyectos.
NOS ADAPTAMOS A LAS SITUACIONES IMPREVISTAS
Describe brevemente tu estrategia de crecimiento futura
Comenzar el proyecto en Aragón y Colombia, con una futura expansión en mancha de acite en las dos zonas. Actualmente en Aragón se esta reorganziando la red Socio-Sanitaria, y podemos optar con precios muy competiivos a formar parte de la misma.
En Colombi esta todo por hacer y los agentes sociales están valorando las propuestas de conocimiento que se les aporte.
¿Qué dimensiones de crecimiento estás actualmente focalizando para tu innovación? [selecciona todas las que correspondan]
Nuevos clientes grupo/s, Nueva(s) región(es), Nuevo(s) mercado(s)/país(es).
¿Qué hace que tu negocio esté “listo” para crecer?
En las zonas desarrolladas la reorganización del sistema socio-sanitario, en forma, tamaño y reducción de costes.
En zonas en crecimiento y en vías de desarrollo la necesidad de generar sistemas y redes básicas y con una economía sostenible, con la experiencia adquirida de los errores cometidos en nuestros sistemas de Bienestar Social.
El incremento incesante de las patologías.
¿Cuáles son tus objetivos centrales de crecimiento?
Crear, desarrollar, formar y ceder las redes que se generen en cada población diana.
Demostrar el ahorro de costes tanto económicos como emocionales e el sector socio-sanitario.
Aplicar la prevención al campo de la salud mental, discapacidad y colectivos en riesgo de exclusión, aplicando la experiencia adquirida.
¿Cuál es tu plazo de tiempo para el crecimiento, a corto y largo plazo? ¿Cuáles son tus objetivos y actividades centrales futuros?
En cinco años tener dispositivos de actuación flexibles y en algunos casos móviles en tres comunidades españolas, ya tenemos experiencia de trabajo en menores con la mayoría de las comunidades de España; desarrollar tres proyectos red en tres zonas diferentes de Colombia, con el circuito de prevención, diagnóstico, terapia, tiempo libre, formación y trabajo.
Abrir en este periodo dos centros de empleo y/o inserción laboral, uno en España y otro en Colombia.
Disponer de una red de pisos y alojamientos, junto con una red de formación adaptada en España y Colombia.
Valorar y estudiar otros mercados objetivos en paises sudamericanos y africanos. Estos estudios ya los hemos comenzado.
La seguridad la basamos en la experiencia de estos años en el campo de la Salud Mental y el tiempo libre.

Por separado cada una de las entidades hemos desarrollado distintos proyectos hasta el momento de conocernos con gran impacto social a nuestro entender:
FUNDACIÓN FARASDUES: casi una década en las Cinco Villas, generando impacto en el tiempo libre, por medio de campamentos, campos de trabajo, desarroolo rural, atención a la discapacidad y a los colectivos en riesgo de exclusión.
CENTRO ESPECIAL DE EMPLEO APORTIA: Creado en 2011 en plena crisis, cuenta con 9 trabajadores discapacitados, algunos de ellos socios partícipes en la forma de Sociedad Laboral, con patologías diagnosticadas como graves, refractarías y crónicas, que en algunos casos, a través de la actividad laboral y la terapia que integramos en el dia a dia, han disminuido sus recaidas, sus tratamientos farmacológicos y están desarrollando una vida plena. Tras un nacimiento difícil estamos generando recursos económicos que nos permiten seguir adelante y plantearnos llegar en el próximo año a 20 empleados. Esta experiencia nos garantiza la posibilidad de generar nuevos centros de empleo.
COOPERATIVA TERAPEUTICA DARSE: EN proceso de constitución, y creado por socios fundadores del Centro Hospitalario de Rehabilitación PRISMA, nace con la intención de mejorar las experiencias de impacto generadas desde el Hospital, centro exclusivo en Zaragoza, que ha atendido a miles de pacientes, y a trabajado a nivel de compañías, sector privado y convenios con la administración en Menores y Servicios sociales y Sanidad.
Los datos están a disposición y son verificables.
¿Qué métodos cuantitativos de impacto social estás aplicando (si estuvieras aplicando alguno)?
Los que demuestra nuestra experiencia caso a caso.
1.- Reducción de tiempos de hospitalización.
2.-Disminución de los tratamientos farmacológicos.
3.- Mejora en el funcionamiento familiar.
4.- Recuperación escolar y laboral.
5.- Integración social.
Difícil cuantificar globalmente, pero facil de entender, la liberación de recursos residenciales, con la consecuente reducción del coste. La valoración emocional de la mejora familioar, disminuyendo la agresividad, los conflictos legales etc
La mejora económica si se logra integrar en una actividad laboral.El individuo deja de ser una carga, aporta ala sociedad y se siente realizado.
La creación de puestos de empleo para técnicos y profesionales.
Lo optimización de recursos existentes infrautilizados.
¿Tu solución podría operar en otros conextos o regiones? Si así fuera, ¿en dónde?
Ya lo hemos expresado en otros puntos, categóricamente si. Hay que contar en cada zona con los agentes sociales y adaptarse a al cultura, a la situación económica, social y política.
La Salud Mental y los colectivos en riesgo de exclusión suelen ser los últimos beneficiarios, si les llega, de los planes de desarroollo sanitarios y sociales. Lo que condiciona las necesidades en caulquier pais, zona, región etc.
Nos hemos centrado en sudamérica por la situación actual de crecimiento, el idioma y la avides de conocimiento y formación que esta generando el crecimiento económica en las distintas zonas.
Todos los informes que hemos revisado de la OMS y OPS, avalan nuestros planteamientos de futuro.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Atender al mayor numero de individuos posibles, disminuyendo periodos de hospitalización, recaídas y tratamientos farmacológicos. Por la experiencia podriamos atender a través de todas las actividades a unos mil inidviduos en tres años.
Protocolizar los sistemas y entrar en los circuitos públicos y privados socio-sanitarios.
Desarrollar la estructura en Colombia.
Formar al mayor número de profesionales en todos los campos de actividad que comulguen con nuestra Filosofia.
Numéricamente dífícil de cuantificar, ya que se mezcla impacto emocional, social y económico. Nuesto impacto será el sotén y crecimiento de las redes de FACTOR PSY.

Our program "Online Health" aims at providing an online platform between young people and health sector actors. We want to provide young people a space where they can ask questions related to health and get answers from specialists. Also we want to create an area for youngsters where they can bring to life their projects about health and search for financing.

Queremos saber acerca del momento en que dijiste “!Aja!”. Comparte la historia de dónde y cuándo el/los fundadores vieron el potencial de esta solución para cambiar el mundo.
In 2005,young volunteers in CVF/TOG came to us with a bunch of questions and issues concerning their health.They couldn't find the place to find true answers.Peer trainings were one of the suggestions they brought to talk.This was our "Aha!" moment when we realized youngsters can provide the trainings and informations in the field of health in the most effective way.

leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultarExplica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
The innovation is the creation of an interactive website where health professionals, relative NGOs, young people who had a formation about general health issues provide consultancy service to youth. In Turkey, young people constitutes 25% of whole population. This group is not provided with health education at schools and the health literacy among young people is low. At the same time, social media are very popular among young people and can be used in an effective way to raise awerness and provide information related to general health issues. Avalaible health services are not youth friendly, and young people have difficulties to reach health information. That's why, it is important to create a tool which encourage them to take care of their health, especially in reproductive health.
Created website will also provide a network of different stakeholders such as NGOs, health sector companies, internet press about health, health professionals and Ministery of Health and young people. Also, there will be a space dedicated to young people's ideas: they will be able to present their ideas and look for mentors and sponsors.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
Community Volunteer Foundation is a foundation that contributes to the personal development of young people through encouraging them to participate to the social responsibility projects as volunteers. Every year the Foundation supports the realization of over 980 projects and activities implemented by about 40,000 young people in over 120 university clubs. İn Turkey other NGOs working on health issues have limited access to young people, so when they want to reach youngsters we serve as contact point. With the help of youth friendly website, all these stakeholders will reach young people directly. There is no online platform that allows young people to match their projects ideas with mentors and sponsors.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
Community Volunteers Foundation has been working last ten years engaging young people and helping them to develop social responsibility projects. Numerous volunteers working in the field, experience gained while implementing health literacy project and delivering trainings taught us what the young people' s needs are in the field of health. We are also knowledgeable and committed to working with young people. On the other hand, all health sector will have a chance to be an actor of this platform.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
CVF/TOG was founded by young people for young people. All activities, programs are developed in the answer to the young people needs.We are open to innovation and ready to adapt to changing demands, needs and other external factors. As young people will have a significant role in creating the content and activities, we think they will provide innovative solution and make the model attractive for this target group.

Resúmen: ¿De qué tema o problema específico trata tu emprendimiento?
El objetivo del Programa “Tejiendo ejes articuladores “ es el de la implementación conjunta entres las partes intervinientes de acciones encaminadas a la formación de jóvenes de últimos años de colegios del Distrito de Educación El Alto-2, en materia de salud sexual y reproductiva, liderazgo, desarrollo local y juventud y vocaciones juveniles, mediante la colaboración en el desarrollo de proyectos en los campos de capacitación y formación de recursos humanos juveniles, con el respaldo a programas de índole técnico-cultural, para movilizar empoderar y reconocer los derechos. Sobre facilitar y promover temas de la educación para la sexualidad, el uso correcto de condón, el empoderamiento de los y los jóvenes en trabajar temas en común que se relaciones para ejercer, demandar, y generar propuestas en temas de Derechos Sexuales, Derechos reproductivos y Derechos siendo fundamentales para superar Barreras de información tergiversada, adulto céntrica generando estrategias de acción que ayudaran a promover políticas y programas de prevención, atención diferenciada y la movilización de las y los jóvenes por nuestros derechos enmarcado con la participación de jóvenes y adultos en los centros educativos.(colegios)
Enunciado de tu misión: ¿Qué hace tu emprendimiento?
El Proyecto tejiendo ejes articuladores es una alianza de organizaciones Gubernamentales y no gubernamentales para informar, sensibilizar temas de DD.SS y DD.RR a estudiantes de últimos años de colegio cabe señalar que se consideró efectiva la solución de nos solo hablar de educación para la sexualidad sino también ampliar la información con enfoques de interculturalidad despatriarcalizacion, desarrollo económico, liderazgo político para las y las jóvenes para cumplir la meta de fortalecer herramientas de información.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
El Proyecto considera que es reforzar herramientas de información para las y los jóvenes de hoy en Bolivia y en Latinoamérica la participación política es fundamental al momento de incidir en planes o políticas públicas y que mejor que este sea médiate nuestras voces, dentro el proyecto fusionamos el hablar de: una educación sexual: Descolonizadora, Intercultural, Intracultural, Despatriarcalizadora para que la información que se da sea incorporada en su diario vivir identificando también el sustento normativo por ejemplo: tengo derechos a vivir libremente mi sexualidad si no por qué?. Ejemplo de una de las dinámicas: Andres un adolescente de 15 años que tiene ITS- VIH/SIDA (probablemente sea yo…).Esta Historia podría expresar algunos problemas que vivimos los jóvenes al momento de vivir una situación de riesgo que podía evitarse y también la falta de acceso al servicio y la vulneración que tenemos las y los adolescentes y jóvenes.
Grupo 1: Énfasis en la actuación de Andrés (adolescente de 15 años)……...
El segundo paso es sistematizar todas la propuestas y enseñanzas de cada sesión para ser presentada como un documento de nuestras voces juveniles a autoridades para que este proyecto sea difundido a la mayor cantidad de centros educativos.
La comunidad: Define tu comunidad, local, nacional o internacional, con la cual vas a trabajar. ¿Cuál es tu público objetivo, a qué población vas a dirigir tus acciones? ¿Existen otras organizaciones que ya trabajan en este tema en tu comunidad?
La población objetivo es adolescente entre 16-20 años y adultos por otra parte se realizó un convenio con diferentes organizaciones Gubernamentales y ONGs para que el trabajo sea efectivo liderizado por el equipo voluntario de Adolescentes y Jóvenes en Acción (A.J.A).
El objetivo nuestro es que se llegue a mas Municipalidades y espacios de jóvenes para trabajar la temática de educación para la sexualidad e identidades y que de estos se recuperen propuestas y estrategias políticas que sean reales y de su entorno en busca de la inclusión y participación de nuestros derechos.
El fundamento de tu Historia: ¿Qué fue lo que te inspiró para hacer tu emprendimiento y por qué?
Durante ni niñez y ahora mi juventud vengo realizando de forma voluntaria muchas acciones las y los jóvenes como la inclusión de los DD. Y DD.RR en la actual C.P.E. en mi país y acciones para el Liderazgo en temas de sexualidad con jóvenes. Se me invito a poder dar charlas como joven voluntaria en temas de Educación para la sexualidad para el proyecto pero viendo la oportunidad que se tiene logramos incorporar al proyecto el trabajar la educación sexual desde un manera efectiva y no moralista ni biológica y que no solo sea información recepcionada se incorpore en demandas y propuestas que apoyen nuevos procesos de construcción de políticas, al final el equipo A.J.A se volvió el impulsor de esta acción.

Demostrar a la comunidad la necesidad de poder hablar de la educación para la sexualidad a través de nuestra cultura “mediante nuestros usos y costumbres” cuestionando y aportando a esta realidad. También se buscara lograr que la sociedad adultocentrica(autoridades, Maestros y familiares) tenga herramientas de información real de nuestras necesidades como jóvenes como el acceso de métodos anticonceptivos, la igual de género , la prevención de una ITS/VIH-SIDA y el acceso a lo normativo identificando ¿Cuáles son nuestros derechos? Como una herramienta de empoderamiento juvenil desde nuestras identidades y realidades.
¿Cómo definirás el éxito tu emprendimiento a largo plazo (1-3 años)?
La existencia de presupuesto en las instituciones gubernamentales para adolescentes y jóvenes para programas formativos para adolescentes y jóvenes explicita sobre Derechos Sexuales y Derechos Reproductivos. Y las sexualidades sin miradas de discriminación por la sexualidad, despatriarcalizadora sin prejuicios ni estereotipos.
El reconocimiento de instancias gubernamentales que promuevan y garanticen la participación juvenil y lograr ejecutar y evaluar políticas incorporadas para las y los adolescentes y jóvenes.
¿Qué indicadores(s) usarás para medir el éxito de tu emprendimiento durante el primer año?
El listado de la información impartida a los colegios
El cumplimiento de la meta de gente capacitada (1264 adolescentes y jóvenes como primera fase)
La participación activa en los colegios
La implementación de el Diagnostico del proyecto en diferentes instancias de decisión.
El acceso a los espacios de jóvenes el apoyo de las instituciones municipales en implementar estrategias para las y los jóvenes en el Municipio de El Alto- Bolivia que puedan ser una guía y modelo para otros Municipios de Bolivia.
Jóvenes en espacios de decisiones como Consejos de la Juventud.
El proyecto sea incorporado por los colegios y se eliminen brechas de información con las y los maestros y la educación moralista impartida en los colegios.

Dentro del proyecto sin bien se busca otorgar información también busca generar nuevos líderes.
En la primera fase el equipo A.J.A es el encargado de facilitar las charlas pero durante este proceso se invitara a jóvenes que deseen participar de esta iniciativa a través de anuncios mediante las redes sociales.
En la segunda fase se busca que las y los jóvenes de los colegios puedan tomar la iniciativa por si mismos incorporándose al proyecto y a otros grupos de jóvenes a través de la red virtual creada “tejiendo ejes articuladores” misma que pueda ser un grupo de jóvenes movilizados por nuestros derechos al cual pueda estar en todas las instancias donde se hable y se trabaje con jóvenes.
¿Cómo vas a nombrar nuevos líderes cuando los fundadores del emprendimiento tengan que irse?
La dinámica que tenemos es que todos somos responsables de una tarea especifica sean los que coordinemos el equipo dentro uno de las visiones como jóvenes que tenemos es todos podemos trabajar para siempre por la adolescencia y juventud pero solo los que estén entre 10-24 años son las y los que pueden demandar ya que es un grupo vulnerable en este sentido invitamos a los jóvenes de los colegios y de otros espacios en los que esta A.J.A para que se sumen y puedan participar como líderes mediante la aptitud y compromiso que tengan cumpliendo un determinado tiempo en consenso al equipo.
¿Cómo vas a continuar tu proyecto después de 6 meses? ¿Con qué recursos piensas seguir?
Actualmente es un convenio con las instituciones para apoyar en material y algún refrigerio y cumplir la meta de presentar a instituciones en especial gubernamentales en proyecto final pero debilita el proyecto porque no tenemos algunos recursos cómo jóvenes de material educativo e informativo(solo contamos con el Facebook pero esto se dificulta porque algunos de los jóvenes no cuentan con este acceso)y de movilización por el momento son recursos de cada uno de los voluntarios este echo dificulta a muchos de los nuevos jóvenes que quieren participar en el proyecto.

At Dynamo Camp laughter is the best medicine
Explica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
Therapeutic Recreation is the scientific basis that inspires Dynamo Camp's activities carried out in a safe environment together with a high qualitative medical assistance to the children hosted at the Camp. The Therapeutic Recreation programme encourages these children to challenge themselves and to build their self esteem . The experience focuses on the discovery of unknown potentialities and of new ability to learn. Each activity at Dynamo Camp can be seen as a constructive and non-competitive personal challenge supported by the group, at Dynamo Camp play involves a balance between more demanding activities and individual or group work, allowing the children to have fun but also to relax and enjoy the experience.
Children' safety is of paramount importance at Dynamo Camp. Staff is carefully selected and trained and the team share all aspects of the camp experience with the youngsters providing constant supervision and support. The Camp has a fully equipped infirmary where routine procedures are directly provided by doctors and nurses specialised in paediatric oncohematology who guarantee continual medical care 24 hours a day. Dynamo Camp’s philosophy is to make sure the necessary medical assistance ready to react quickly, but also discreetly. This philosophy is a total innovation in the health care service because it focuses on the total well being of children not only on the medical aspect, neither on the care needs, but children as total person, who need primary to play, lo laugh, to hope, to gain their joy to be a child, this is a unique consideration of child
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
Dynamo Camp is the only camp in Italy which combines the Therapeutic Recreation in a safe environment together with a high qualitative and full time medical assistance, carried out in a cheerful and brightly coloured environment which ensures the children to have a special experience in complete safety without feeling like they are in hospital. For our campers, Therapeutic Recreation means participating in an exciting adventure, sharing unforgettable experiences with peers and gaining confidence, with the serenity to move and act in a safe environment.The families of sicked children are not used to let children play. This is the new message of Dynamo Camp. It's an holistic approach that families share each other and become a new culture a new way to consider illness and disability.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
Dynamo Camp operates to the highest possible standards of excellence; design and construction of the camp, selection and training of staff and volunteers, medical assistance and partnerships with hospitals, organisation and management of every aspect of the camp's programme and work, safety and supervision of the youngsters, maintenance and operation of the structure.
In particular, the staff is selected and trained and the team share all aspects of the camp experience with the youngsters providing constant supervision and support. The Medical Centre guarantees first class care both in terms of routine treatment and emergency intervention. This gives children the freedom to let go and enjoy themselves in a physically and emotionally secure environment and to show their deep mood.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
Each year Dynamo answers to new needs, new pathologies, and new families who ask to come and take part to this wonderful adventure. Dynamo has incresed during the years the number of children hosted, the pathologies, and the number of sessions. During the start up Dynamo was opened only during summer and Eastern and Christmas, now the calendar of sessions covers the whole year. Dynamo in these years has also implemented new services and new projects to better answer to children, families and stakeholder's needs. It has develloped two outreach projects from the camp to reach hospitals and association, to animate children who cant't reach the camp. because they are too ill. Radio Dynamo, Dynamo Art Factory are the two projects that are successfull in the field of music and arts.

The two main goals which Dynamo Camp is aimed to achieve is to gain children's self-esteem and socializations. Often children with disabling illnesses lack confidence in their abilities and have no opportunities to socialize with other children. Dynamo Camp gives them both the opportunity to build their self esteem by helping the children to succeed with fun in whatever activity they choose and to socialize with other children by finding themselves, outside of the hospital environment, in close contact with others who share their difficulties, by sharing their courage and outlook with those who can fully understand how they feel. It gives them a valuable opportunity to get to know many children and young people from other towns and backgrounds. For families is the opportunity for hope.

Recreational Therapeutic Camp can improve through their methodology the global well being of children. The 80% of children have hope to survive to their sickness. Thanks to these Camps they can grow as children and not only as survivors. If they cant't play, do sports, stay with peers, they will grow as depressed adults and with important behavioural deseases. In Italy there is only Dynamo Camp as a Recreational Therapeutic Camp, with this special approach which works with 40 hospitals, 65 associations to support children and families in their difficult path. The solution is to improve Dynamo sustainability so that the Camp could host more children in the next years and the Camp could answer to the need in a more significant way. Dynamo Camp is as good sucessfull solution for children
¿Cuál es tu visión y objetivos generales?
Scope of Dynamo is to offer hundreds of youngsters each year, free of charge, the chance to “be children” and their parents and families a psychological and practical support to cope with the problems of caring for a sick child and help them to feel "alive". In order to meet these objectives, Dynamo offers (i) the fullest possible experience of childhood regardless of the effects of the disease; (ii) tries and normalises the experience of coping with serious or chronic sickness in childhood; (iii) provides for a safe physical environment; (iv) offers an emotional experience of fun and play, support and challenges; (v) encourages open, supportive, non-judgmental relationships between the children themselves and with staff and to foster friendship; (vi) strengthens, renews and raises hope.
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
Dynamo Camp's values are: EXCELLENCE (it operates to the highest possible standards of excellence in terms of structure, staff, organization), SUCCESS (it helps the children to succeed in whatever activity they choose), SOCIALIZATION (it helps children who are subjected to intensive hospitalization lifes to socialize with other children who are able to understand each other), STAFF AND ASSISTANCE SUPPORT (staff are carefully selected and trained in order to guarantee full children's safety at the Camp and the medical centre guarantees first class care both in terms of routine treatement and emergency intervention), PLAY (children have the chance to learn new things and to overcome what they see as their limits by simply having fun, relaxing and enjoying the experience to the full).
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
The project directly reaches 1.067 children aged 6 to 17 suffering from serious or chronic illnesses under treatment or in remission for not more than four years and 200 families, coming from Italy (83,5%); Germany (6,5%); Middle east (8,8%); and other foreign countries (1,2%). 200 families of the children hosted have been positively affected from the opportunity offered to their children. After the session of Dynamo Camp some families meet and create informal networks that involve information, comparing experiences, and support in practical situations. The siblings also learn to cope with their brother or sister's sickness. In addition when the brother or sister is at the Camp, they can spend bonding time with parents that is not often available.
Families feels huge psicological support
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
The camp receives medical and scientific support through the partnership with the Meyer Hospital in Florence, which is the specialistic children's hospital closest to the Camp. Dynamo Camp cooperates with 40 Italian and 14 foreign hospitals and health centres which send children to Dynamo Camp in through 2007 to 2012 to Dynamo Camp and with 65 associations which help Dynamo recruiting staff to select children. Families tell their positive experience when they come back home, and other families want to come and live the same experience. During the sms campaign Dynamo has the possibility to let several people know its experience and this communication reach new customers and potential stakeholders that could be new Dynamo's friends and supporters or volunteers.
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
The range of activities includes: Horseback Riding/Minifarm and Nature (allows contact with nature), Photography and Video and Arts and Crafts (express creativity and imagination), Music (explore of sounds and rhythm), Archery (allow personal accomplishments), Adventure/Climbing Courses and Low Exercises (confidence building exercises), Theatre (express children personality), Recreational Therapy in Water (specifically suited for children with motor difficulties and duly heated for children with particular diseases, such as sickle-cell anaemia), walks and overnight at Dynamo's Oasis, Radio Dynamo (which reaches all the national children hospitals) and Dynamo Arts Factory (express kid's potentialility by working with artists asked to launch creative challenges or realize a work of art).
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
Sometimes hospitals due to burocracy or lack of communication don't communicate the opportunity for the children hosted in their structures, to go to Dynamo Camp, even if it's free of charge. It's a big opportunity but some hospitals have internal associations which are competitors, even if they don't have a camp like Dynamo Camp. In these case the process of recruiting is very hard for Dynamo as there isn't sometimes a real attitude to cooperate and to realize an effective network of services in the Third Sector. The non profit sector could be more effective and efficient, by supporting a global strategy of raising funds for special needs and choosing serious partner and reliable instead of acting in a self attitude and style.
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
Since Dynamo tries to achieve each year the budget in order to support the projects and to host all the children free of charge, a challenge could be raising money during the global economic and productive crisis of these years. Dynamo, however, is confident to being able to find ways, ideas and opportunities to raise money for the well being of their children. In particular, Dynamo works to raise money in the different sectors: Corporation, Individuals, big events, sms campaigns, Foundation and Public funds. In the last 6 years of activities this fund raising strategy producted always its effect and reached the expected results, which are reflected in Dynamo's financial statements. A new challenge is to find new countries interested in sending their sicked children to Dynamo Camp.
Describe brevemente tu estrategia de crecimiento futura
The main goal for Dynamo Camp is to make the Camp sustainable through a diversified fund raising campaign. For this reason Dynamo intends to support the Academy (the social enterprise) to reach new stakeholder (corporations, agencies) offer different service, that produce business and the income will be distributed to the association.

Nuevo(s) mercado(s)/país(es).
¿Qué hace que tu negocio esté “listo” para crecer?
Dynamo has already dimostrated its strong and effective business plan and economic model. From the beginning it has developed its offer in activities, number of children hosted and diseases treated at the Camp. At the end of 2012 the Camp hosted 1.067 children (on 2007 they were just 60) with specific onco-emathological diseases and 200 families (in 2007 there were none), througout 16 sessions.
¿Cuáles son tus objetivos centrales de crecimiento?
To host new children, new pathologies, realizing new buildings to have more space. Dynamo has several ideas to implement its services: realize a new gym to let children try sports with bad weather in an interior space equipped. To offer activities related to cinema and movies to complete the range of activities: sports, arts, nature, animals, theatre. To host more families of disabled children.
¿Cuál es tu plazo de tiempo para el crecimiento, a corto y largo plazo? ¿Cuáles son tus objetivos y actividades centrales futuros?
On a strategic point of view, Dynamo wants to host more children, more pathologies and families in the next years, to improve its impact on new people so that the Recreational Therapy will be diffused. New services and actvities offered in the Camp will let it more interesting and suitable for all. The association will also reach children hospitalized that can't reach the Camp or association of parents of disables children. In this case the Recreational Therapy, through the outreach program, can supports more families and needs. On a financial point of view Dynamo has to let the camp sustainable in different economic ways: by the fundraising activity of the Association, with the emerging activity of the Social Enterprise and through the new developmental projects of Merchaindising and Food
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Each year in Italy more than 10,000 children are affected by serious or chronic illnesses. They must undergo invasive therapies that oblige them to spend long periods of time in hospital. The disease not only forces them to deal with fear, fatigue and often side effects, but also restricts their social life with children their own age and threatens to compromise the peace of mind, confidence and sense of fun so typical during childhood. The program is needed in the community because as of 2012, it is the only camp in Italy that offers its free program directly to 1.067 children (and indirectly to their families at home) and to about 200 families (Numberr of hosted children and families have stedily grown over the years from 2007, the first year of Dynamo's activity). The camp gives the children and families the opportunity to enjoy a period of recreation in a safe, protected environment. This environment guarantees first class medical attention and the constant supervision of qualified staff who encourage the growth of a child's self-esteem. The program is beneficial to the community since there are no other structures in Italy granting the same opportunities to sick children and their families. Other solutions for sick children are mainly focused on the medical aspects of treatment. At Dynamo Camp children are provided with recreational opportunities. Dynamo Camp is also beneficial to its local community and area: 80% of its suppliers are local ones.
¿Qué métodos cuantitativos de impacto social estás aplicando (si estuvieras aplicando alguno)?
Children, Families,volunteers are asked to fill in different questionnaires at the end of each session to tell about their experience. Feedbacks are then evaluated by DC's staff. Th evidence is that every camper/family wants to come back to the Camp, because the Camp's experience is life changing as for social effects, approach to sickness,medical care, self esteem. A recent Yale University-SeriousFun research (all camps have worked together) confirms the positive impact on children of the Recreational Therapy.
An other side effect is that some families begin to help and to support each other, once back home. The children hosted at Dynamo Camp come from all over Italy (north, centre and south) Germany, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Latvia, Bielorussia and Serbia.
¿Tu solución podría operar en otros conextos o regiones? Si así fuera, ¿en dónde?
Dynamo Camp is part of SeriousFun Children's Network (former "a Hole in the Wall Camp Association") founded by Paul Newman, the Hole in the Wall Camps were created in 1988 with the opening of the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Connecticut. Currently there are 16 camps fully operational worldwide (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Ireland, Hungary, France, United Kingdom, Israel, Japan, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Sout Africa, Washington) and others in the process of realisation. Many provisional camps, locally designed, with culturally applicable program are temporarily opened in many parts of the world Cambodia, Chennai, Ethiopia, Haiti, Hanoi, Ho Chi Min city , Lesotho, Malawi, Mysore, Paraguay, Swaziland, Uganda.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Our aim for the close future is not only to maintain the number of hosted children, but also to increase it; to increase the number of children from different countries that have no access to SeriousFun Children's Network camps; to increse the number of pathologies hosted at the Camp;to increase the variety of activities and services offered at the Camp to render it more accessible and suitable for all. To make the Camp more and more self sustainable and more balanced as for funding sources. The other project is to reach through outreach programs more associations, for example for disable children, in order to bring them hope and support, even if they can'T reach the camp and live this wonderful experience. To make a better communciation, to let more people know the Camp and get involved

We are committed to implement and keep on developing a balance among funding sources: Philantropic and revenue generation approach are exploited together.
-As for philanthropy: our activity has been historically financed via donations from: (2012 figures)
Individuals 46%
Corporates 27%
Private Associations/organizations/foundations 25%
Government 2%
Over the years we have successfully worked to change the weight of sources: at the beginning of our activity funding from corporations was preponderant and funding from individuals was residual (84% vs 7%), now individuals have a central role in our fundraising strategy and we intend to further move towards crowd funding.
-As for revenue generation:
We’ve decided to make our business model more sustainable and less dependent on donations:
1) Starting from the beginning of its activity Dynamo Camp has developed a merchandising department, to trade branded outdoor gear.
2) in 2010 we’ve set up Dynamo Academy srl Impresa Sociale, a social business whose mission is to cover some of Dynamo Camp’s facility, maintenance and structure-related costs;
3) in 2013 we have set up Alimentare Dynamo, whose mission is to trade specialty food products in Italian supermarkets and to convey 100% of profits from its activity to Dynamo Camp’s project. We have signed a multi-year trading agreement with IperCoop Firenze, top Italian player in the large scale retail arena, that guarantees to AD discounted trading conditions, top visibility in its point of sale, organizational/logistic support.

Resúmen: ¿De qué tema o problema específico trata tu emprendimiento?
My Venture addresses the issue of Autism Spectrum Disorder, which disables children all around the world. The way this problem will be addressed is through many different methods, such as fundraisers and volunteering at schools for children with Autism. Raising money towards Autism research helps, and so does helping individual children with autism. A way to help children with Autism, as I have found, is to use music as therapy for these children. I have played my instrument for children at a school, and it allows them to calm down or even to focus. My efforts have gone further than this, and I have donated iPods which are used for music and for audio clips used for learning. In the future, I look forward to gaining more technological devices to donate such as iPads and other devices.
Enunciado de tu misión: ¿Qué hace tu emprendimiento?
My venture is geared to help children with Autism in any way possible. It will raise money towards Autism Research, the building of schools, and the supplying of school materials. As well as this, my venture stresses an importance on volunteer work, and it is crucial that I gain volunteers that are willing to help a child with Autism. The musical aspect of my venture will also be important, as I will continue to search for others who are musically inclined to volunteer at schools. As well as volunteering at schools, I will make it a goal to host benefit concerts, and to play at charity events for Autism. Although music is an important part of my venture, it is not the only part, and I also see an importance in allowing children with Autism to receive the best education that they can possibly achieve. I will do this through using raised money to buy supplies, help renovate and build schools, and create the opportunity for new technological advances at this school.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Ways that my venture will make a difference have a larger scale of impact, and a smaller, more concise scale of impact. What I believe to be the larger scale is the raising of money towards Autism research and the raising of money to benefit schools for children with Autism. These two ideas will be important, for once I raise enough money, I will be able to donate this money to more and more locations, therefore spreading my venture. On a smaller scale, volunteer work will also be one of the activities in my venture. Although volunteering at a school for children with Autism will not raise money to find a cure, it will positively affect the life of the child, who needs as much help as he or she can get when it comes to an education. As I have previously addressed, music will also be an important part of my venture. Whether it is through volunteering musicians visiting nearby schools, or benefit concerts, music is a crucial part of my venture. It allows for the raising of money, but also allows children with Autism to experience music while they are being educated. It is said that music is therapeutic to these children, and it allows them to focus, therefore helping them learn.
La comunidad: Define tu comunidad, local, nacional o internacional, con la cual vas a trabajar. ¿Cuál es tu público objetivo, a qué población vas a dirigir tus acciones? ¿Existen otras organizaciones que ya trabajan en este tema en tu comunidad?
Initially, my goal will be to work on behalf of the area around me, and let my venture grow from there. The entire population should be aware of Autism, and by raising money for the cause, I will also be able to spread the world to communities around mine. As these communities become more aware, I am hoping that they will spread their knowledge to others. As this knowledge is spread, my venture will also be spread further, until it has reached a nationwide level. This may be wishful thinking, but I believe that with the help of difference makers around the country, I will be able to accomplish this, especially considering that Autism is an important topic that should be known about by anyone.
El fundamento de tu Historia: ¿Qué fue lo que te inspiró para hacer tu emprendimiento y por qué?
The way I first heard about Autism was through a video that was sent to my email. This video affected me, and I thought that with my musical ability and willingness to help, I could make an impact somehow in the community. As I began raising money by playing violin at events, I discovered that there were other ways that I could still help the cause. I began donating the money I had raised to a nearby school, and after speaking with the school, they believed that I should go to the school to play for the children there. Going class to class, I would play music for the children, and I could see how it positively affected them. From that point on I have continued to find other methods of benefitting Autism research, and the education of children with Autism
¿Cuál es la visión a largo plazo de tu emprendimiento?
The long term vision of my Venture is to eventually see my venture spread outside of my community to around the nation. This way, people around the nation will raise awareness for Autism, donate money, and volunteer at schools in their areas. As my Venture spreads, I would also like any others to pitch in with their own ideas for ways to help children with Autism. This way, we will be able to find more and more ways to raise money, volunteer, or do any other activities that may benefit the cause.

The goal I wish to accomplish in my first year is to raise awareness in my community and hold many fundraisers to gain money for local schools. Another thing I wish to do is to host benefit concerts for Autism. While spreading the word, I also would like to search the community for others who are willing to volunteer at local schools. I don't wish to spread my venture too wide the first year, and I would rather establish a large amount of success locally before venturing out further.

What problem is your organization committed to solving? In particular, share what is innovative about your approach.
Move This World (MTW) is a global nonprofit using creative movement as a vehicle to transform conflict, violence and bullying in communities. MTW focuses on empowering individuals with skills to identify emotions within themselves, to be empathetic in their interactions with others, and to act as change agents in their communities. Our hallmark program is an evidence-based curriculum engaging students Pre-K-12 in movement-based activities promoting empathy, diversity appreciation, anger management, and conflict transformation. Using MTW's holistic approach, we engage students, families, educators, administrators, and communities with targeted programs that promote social change through the art of movement. MTW has worked with over 9,000 individuals across 22 cities on four continents.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
In the next year, Move This World's top priority is to hire two full-time leadership positions to help to lead programmatic growth and operational strategy. These full-time positions will provide current staff with the support, resources, and expertise for Move This World to scale and enter new markets. Our second priority is to grow the number of classrooms we have in current program hubs. Thirdly, Move This World would like to pilot its special needs curriculum and identify potential new product lines in the next year.
Need #1
Message & Brand Strategy
Need #2
Peer Benchmarking Analysis
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
In February of 2013 Move This World underwent a re-brand to become the organization it is today. Formerly known as Dance 4 Peace, Move This World leadership decided to pursue a re-branding process to find a name that truly articulated our use of innovative practice using creative movement for empathy education. We also wanted to find a name that embodied our growth potential, vision, and mission more fully. While we feel confident that we have found that name in Move This World, we are working to embody the new brand across the organization and realize our growth potential not only through our current curriculum and training programs, but also through new product lines to distinguish ourselves from peers and become the standard among organizations offering innovative empathy education programs.
1.
Move This World prioritizes flexibility and responsiveness to the needs of partners, customizing programs and arrangements.
2.
Move This World prioritizes open communication between partners and MTW staff, ensuring we are available to partners.
3.
Move This World prioritizes cultural awareness, ensuring our programs are appropriate for diverse contexts.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
Support from American Express will be focused on Move This World as an organization overall in order to maximize the impact of the support. In order to work on our strategic positioning as an organization, we must pursue processes that foster cohesive branding and messaging strategies, and help us situate ourselves in the civil society space in relationship to peer organizations.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
Move This World has worked with outside consultants before, including with consultants who advised us throughout the re-brand process. We have also worked with consultants to evaluate the efficacy and growth potential of Move This World's programs in certain markets. While individual staff members have dedicate some time to considering branding and messaging and a part-time Communications and Strategy Specialist is a crucial member of our team, outside facilitation will prioritize branding and messaging for all staff to ensure consistency and confidence.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
The MTW curriculum transcends countries, socioeconomic differences, languages and cultures; it is being adapted and implemented in diverse communities worldwide. In the fall of 2011, aggregate data MTW collected indicated an 80% increase in student positive empathetic reactions to seeing an isolated peer after exposure to a semester of our programming. When given a situation involving bullying, there was a 48% decrease in violent responses. Survey questions to MTW students testing for appreciation of diversity showed a 15% increase in listening to others, 30% increase in liking group work, and 25% increase in likelihood to try new things. Suspension data in one school declined from 53 incidents to 16, after one semester of Move This World programming in several classrooms.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
Based upon our strategic scaling model and business plan, Move This World will have an annual budget of $1.7 million in five years and will have worked with 55,000 youth and educators. Move This World has already shown success at scaling from one classroom in Bogota, Colombia to serving over 9,000 individuals in 22 cities on four continents. Support from American Express will enable Move This World to take the next step in becoming the standard bearer in innovative empathy education practice. Our programs are already sought after by a diversity of partners, and undergoing a peer benchmarking analysis will empower us to identify growth areas and customize product lines based upon the market need and feedback from partners.

We won Best Song at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards, received a fantastic review from Billboard Discoveries, and were chosen to be in the Grammy and Oscar gifts to the nominees. The University of BC Education Department helped us develop lessons and activities for our series of books (K to Grade 3.) We test marketed The Magic of Think™ with teachers, homeschooling mothers, and grandparents. The testimonials have been phenomenal. The children in both public and private schools have been captivated by the stories performed “in character.” The children love the music and listen to it day and night. We have also been receiving enthusiastic reviews from parents with Special Needs and Gifted children. Children open up on issues that have not been discussed before. Eg. being bullied.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
Receiving support from American Express would greatly assist us in achieving our goal of reaching and helping every child in the world. Rich or poor, regardless of color or nationality. Long term, stronger children become stronger adults, who will be more equipped to make the world a better place.

Resúmen: ¿De qué tema o problema específico trata tu emprendimiento?
Como universitaria que soy, estoy perfectamente consciente de que no usar condón acarrea el riesgo de contraer ETS’s, pero de la teoría a la práctica hay un largo trecho por recorrer. No creo que hoy día halla desconocimiento sobre como se transmite el VIH, tratamiento y demás; pero puedo asegurar que la mayoría de personas que conviven en mi entorno jamás se han hecho una prueba ELISA, y el desconocimiento de la salud propia es, a mi parecer, la mayor causa de contagio de este virus, y por ello el índice disminuiría radicalmente si las personas se realizan la prueba.
Enunciado de tu misión: ¿Qué hace tu emprendimiento?
Acá en Colombia si estas asociado a una EPS, ésta tiene la obligación, a través de una IPS, de prestarle a las personas la posibilidad de realizarse la prueba; si no se está afiliado en ninguna EPS, se puede solicitar durante una cita en un hospital público, y se tendrá la posibilidad de realizarse gratuitamente 2 veces al año. A pesar de esto, las personas no conocemos lo fácil que es acceder a esta prueba, esto sumado al miedo del que la prueba salga positiva y el que se realice en periodo ventana y no se repita después, genera que las personas desconozcan su estado. Pretendo promover la prueba ELISA en estudiantes universitarios de mi ciudad y posteriormente en el departamento y en el país.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Si una persona contagiada se realiza la Prueba ELISA y descubre que es cero positiva puede empezar a realizarse el tratamiento antirretroviral, lo que mejorará su calidad de vida y evitara tanto el avance del síndrome como las posibilidades de contagiar a otra persona de forma significativa, información eficientemente fundada gracias a un estudio de ONUSIDA, que prueba que una persona tratada con antirretrovirales disminuye un 92% la probabilidad de contagiar a su pareja.
Si la persona tras la prueba confirma que no tiene VIH, gana la posibilidad de vivir perfectamente consciente de su salud, sin el miedo de tener o no el virus; además de que comprenderá la importancia del uso del condón, y de que si toma el riesgo de tener relaciones sexuales sin condón con una pareja estable dado que usa otro método anticonceptivo, sabrá la importancia de saber el estado de salud de la otra persona, es decir, las personas dejarían de pensar que lo único que deben evitar es un embarazo.
Para que esto se dé, se realizará una conferencia que informe sobre:
1. Aspectos básicos del VIH/SIDA.
2. Nociones sobre la Prueba ELISA.
3. Aclaraciones de la Prueba Western Blot.
4. Posibilidades de acceso a la Prueba ELISA en el país.
5. Tener en cuenta el “periodo de ventana inmunológica”.
6. Información sobre una vida sexual sana y segura.
7. Importancia de conocer el estado de salud propio y de la pareja.
8. Ser cero positivo y proteger la vida de los que amas.
La comunidad: Define tu comunidad, local, nacional o internacional, con la cual vas a trabajar. ¿Cuál es tu público objetivo, a qué población vas a dirigir tus acciones? ¿Existen otras organizaciones que ya trabajan en este tema en tu comunidad?
Cúcuta es la quinta ciudad del país con mayor tasa de mortalidad por SIDA y por ser capital registra el 82,5% de los casos nuevos de VIH del departamento (datos de 2011), donde las principales causas son el coito sin condón, la promiscuidad y el préstamo de jeringas a la hora de consumir sustancias psicoactivas inyectables.
A causa de esto, pretendo fomentar el proyecto en estudiantes universitarios de la ciudad de Cúcuta, personas con edad promedio entre 17 y 25 años.
En la ciudad existen la Fundación PROVIDA y la Fundación HOASIS que buscan ayudar a personas con VIH/SIDA, dando vivienda, tratamientos antirretrovirales y asistencia psicológica, pero no hacen conferencias sobre la posibilidad de acceso a la prueba ELISA.
El fundamento de tu Historia: ¿Qué fue lo que te inspiró para hacer tu emprendimiento y por qué?
La razón es muy sencilla, al igual que todo el mundo, yo tengo personas que aprecio, como mi familia, amigos cercanos y mi pareja, y sé que por desconocimiento, cualquiera de ellas podría fácilmente resultar infectada.
Soy consciente de lo difícil que es la vida para una persona con SIDA, de las complicaciones físicas y mentales que esto puede acarrear; pero también que la calidad de vida de personas infectadas con VIH ha mejorado notablemente gracias a los antirretrovirales cuando se hace un diagnostico A TIEMPO.
Por esas personas que son importantes para mi fui motivada a luchar contra el VIH, a querer desear un futuro mejor para ellos, y para mi comunidad en general.

Habiendo realizado las conferencias los primeros 6 meses en todas las Universidades de Cúcuta y asegurando la futura realización de la conferencia en el resto de las Universidades del departamento durante el primer semestre del año 2014.
¿Cómo definirás el éxito tu emprendimiento a largo plazo (1-3 años)?
Incrementando el número de personas que accedan a realizarse la prueba de VIH en el Departamento y habiendo obtenido el reconocimiento por parte de la Nación del proyecto para que la idea se fomente a nivel nacional, esperando así disminuir la cantidad de casos de contagio de VIH y el índice de mortalidad por SIDA.
¿Qué indicadores(s) usarás para medir el éxito de tu emprendimiento durante el primer año?
La manera más eficiente de saber si el proyecto funcionó es cuestionar a las fundaciones de la ciudad de Cúcuta para saber si se ha presentado una diferencia en el incremento de casos nuevos de VIH/SIDA, dado que fundaciones como PROVIDA tiene acceso a ese tipo de estadísticas.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Cómo vas a reclutar nuevos miembros?
Durante las conferencias se dará a conocer la posibilidad de formar parte de grupo de emprendimiento a favor de la realización de la prueba ELISA para que las conferencias se realicen anualmente para brindar esta información a los nuevos integrantes de las Universidades.
¿Cómo vas a nombrar nuevos líderes cuando los fundadores del emprendimiento tengan que irse?
Se pretende que seamos un grupo estable, lo cual permita que nosotros como fundadores del emprendimiento mantengamos nuestro proyecto a flote sin necesidad de acudir a nuevas personas. Sin embargo es probable que al culminar los 4 años restantes de nuestra educación superior tengamos que desistir del proyecto, por ello, se tendrá en cuenta la capacidad y el interés de los miembros jóvenes del grupo que se consideren aptos para continuar con las conferencias y las demás actividades del proyecto.
¿Cómo vas a continuar tu proyecto después de 6 meses? ¿Con qué recursos piensas seguir?
Con los recursos obtenidos a partir de la venta de las pulseras, además se espera que para ese momento el proyecto sea lo suficientemente estable para que la alcaldía considere la posibilidad de financiarlo. También se espera que el proyecto capte la atención de otras organizaciones y entidades para que se genere la donación de parte de las mismas.

Resúmen: ¿De qué tema o problema específico trata tu emprendimiento?
Se desarrollará un campeonato de Fútbol con mujeres y hombres jóvenes del Municipio de El Progreso, Jutiapa, en donde se sensibilizará a las juventudes sobre la importancia y el uso correcto del condón para la prevención del VIH, las vías de transmisión del virus, y se trabajará el tema del estigma y discriminación hacia las personas viviendo con VIH/sida.
Enunciado de tu misión: ¿Qué hace tu emprendimiento?
Creemos que es importante sensibilizar a la población sobre la respuesta al VIH/sida, especialmente en cuanto a la prevención y la reducción del estigma y discriminación. Queremos llegar a la mayor cantidad de jóvenes posible, por lo que consideramos importante irrumpir el espacio juvenil, llegar a donde están los jóvenes haciendo sus actividades, y el fútbol es precisamente un deporte muy popular entre las y los jóvenes del municipio, por lo que creemos que realizar un campeonato de fútbol sería una manera efectiva de llegar a las juventudes.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Este es un municipio donde existe poco o nulo acceso a información científica sobre prevención del VIH. No existe una Educación Integral en Sexualidad. Por lo que consideramos que nuestro emprendimiento hará una diferencia significativa en las y los jóvenes involucrados, pues tendrán información nueva y útil para su vida sobre las formas de prevención del VIH, y maneras de cómo evitar el estigma y discriminación hacia otros/as jóvenes portadores del virus.
La comunidad: Define tu comunidad, local, nacional o internacional, con la cual vas a trabajar. ¿Cuál es tu público objetivo, a qué población vas a dirigir tus acciones? ¿Existen otras organizaciones que ya trabajan en este tema en tu comunidad?
El Progreso, Jutiapa es un municipio del departamento de Jutiapa, ubicado al oriente de Guatemala, en donde existen altos índices de personas viviendo con VIH/sida, y poco acceso a información científica sobre el tema, por lo que además de que existe alta vulnerabilidad de las y los jóvenes a contraer el virus, existe también una tendencia a adoptar actitudes basadas en el estigma y la discriminación hacia personas portadoras del virus.
El fundamento de tu Historia: ¿Qué fue lo que te inspiró para hacer tu emprendimiento y por qué?
Nuestra inspiración es principalmente las juventudes, que son altamente vulnerables en nuestra región, no sólamente a contraer el VIH, sino también a ser discriminados y marginados todxs aquellos que sean portadores del mismo. Existe desinformación acerca del tema, y no existen tampoco organizaciones del Estado o de sociedad civil que trabajen estos temas, por lo que creemos que es necesario accionar.

Qlovi is committed to boosting the low levels of student reading proficiency in the US. 75% of US students lack full literacy proficiency—low income and student of color communities are disproportionately affected. Literacy instruction presents challenges and opportunities unmet by existing instruction and education technology. As literacy lags, achievement and competitiveness suffer.Qlovi is a literacy-instruction platform that fosters literacy achievement using interactive features, eReading, and fun assessments.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
1) To create a digital marketing campaign to reach parents and educators concerned with literacy achievement. We wish to develop a targeted campaign that convert impressions into subscriptions for our platform.
2) To expand to school districts nationally
3) To expand our content offering and become a known digital distribution channel for self published or traditionally published titles for kids, YA, and educational communities.
Need #1
Digital Marketing Strategy
Need #2
Consumer/Audience Acquisition
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
We want to start a digital marketing campaign in order to solicit online reading materials from authors. We think that this would be a great way to obtain more engaging content for students but at the same time allow us to reach more authors instead of going through publishing companies.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
We anticipate that support from American Express will be for two focused objectives. Our first objective is parent/teacher customer acquisition. Our second objective is hinged on developing a web/brand identity related to trust and digital distribution. We are looking to expand our operations nationally so that school districts and parents can more easily foster literacy in classrooms or homes.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
We have not since we are wrapping up product development and a study of our initial pilot. We have not worked with outside consultants before.
Are you able to commit 3-5 hours/wk over 10-12 weeks?
Sí
Are you able to meet virtually or at a convenient in-person location?
Sí
Are you able to meet in the city where your organization is based?
Sí
1.
Develop and craft sustainable digital marketing strategy (channels, acquisition cost, pricing by source, etc)
2.
Hone and sharpen targeted messaging related to marketing campaign objectives
3.
Imbue American Express skills into our team DNA. Successfully carry out a dedicated partnership.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Our first wave of impact is already underway. 8000 students across the 15 lowest performing schools in Detroit use Qlovi to foster literacy and meet daily reading goals. Students login to Qlovi for an average of 20 minutes per session. And weekly average users are totally at least 2000. The schools we are working with have experienced academic growth larger than existed before Qlovi was in place. A closer dissection of usage and academic achievement is under way.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
With the help of American Express, our team will seamlessly incorporate digital marketing skills across our organization. We admire the dedicated example and digital track record of American Express and think of no better partner for this very focused exercise. Reaching more parents/students with good marketing will directly translate into higher literacy outcomes across high-need and targeted communities. We are ready for the challenge and partnership to begin.

Resúmen: ¿De qué tema o problema específico trata tu emprendimiento?
En la Universidad la mayor parte de estudiantes inicia o amplía su actividad sexual, por la mayor relación con grupos de amigas y amigos, presión de grupo, interacción en fiestas y consumo de alcohol, tabaco, drogas; y el fácil acceso a contenido sexual explícito por medios de comunicación e internet. Esta realidad expone a jóvenes universitarios a actitudes y comportamientos sexuales de riesgo, que pueden terminar en la transmisión del vih y la consecuente vivencia y convivencia con el virus.
La prevención del vih y sida en contextos universitarios es un desafío pendiente para organizaciones públicas yprivadas. Se puede promover la capacitación en foto-reportajes con el celular (filMóvil) para promover la educación sexual responsable.
Enunciado de tu misión: ¿Qué hace tu emprendimiento?
Invitamos y capacitamos a estudiantes de secundaria voluntarios para producir foto-reportajes con sus propios celulares y desarrollar contenido digital educativo, compartiendo puntos de vista, estéticas, técnicas de edición, montaje y producción de fotografías, para prevenir la transmisión del vih y sida en universidades de Bolivia.
La producción de contenido se realiza en talleres donde se imparten:
a) Técnicas de fotografía con celular.
b) Trabajo de grupos de discusión para construir mensajescolectivos de prevención del vih y sida en universidades de Bolivia.
c) Elaboración de presentaciones de 10 a 12 fotografías en una composición de foto-reportaje.
Difundimos foto-reportajes en redes sociales (viral), canales de TV local y nacional, y en exposiciones en aulas universitarias. Se difunde interpersonalmente por celular.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
En la Universidad el uso del celular es prácticamente indispensable para todas y todos,las y los estudiantes. Esta herramienta se usa para la comunicación interpersonal y para el acceso a internet (pagado); pero no se han explorado usos del celular para fines de entretenimiento educativo y sin costos para sus usuarios. La propuesta de la Fundación REDES de realizar contenido digital con y para celulares llamada “filMóvil” permite responder a esta necesidad.
El modelo de trabajo de filMóvil es bastante rápido y económico. Se realiza un taller de 6 a 8 horas con jóvenes voluntarios para compartir la metodología de producción de foto-reportajes con celular.
Enseñamos/aprendemos a:
1) Producir fotografías de calidad con cualquier celular que tengamos a disposición (leguaje de imagen).
2) Aprendemos a producir mensajes en grupo, a través de la información, discusión e investigación, para convertirlos en mensajes cortos que reforzarán los foto-reportajes.
3) Convertimos los foto-reportajes en una presentación compatible para celulares y de poco peso en Megas.
Finalmente se trabaja en una estrategia de comunicación y difusión de los contenidos, incluso, se pueden hacer exposiciones de foto-reportajes en espacios públicos, instituciones, canales de tv, calles y avenidas, colegios, etc. Es entretenido y educativo.
La comunidad: Define tu comunidad, local, nacional o internacional, con la cual vas a trabajar. ¿Cuál es tu público objetivo, a qué población vas a dirigir tus acciones? ¿Existen otras organizaciones que ya trabajan en este tema en tu comunidad?
Realizaremos 5 foto-reportajes en la Universidad Mayor Real y Pontificia de San Francisco Xavier de Chuquisaca en la ciudad de Sucre (Capital de Bolivia).
Los foto-reportajes, serán expuestos en diversas carreras de nuestra universidad y también en Universidades privadas de Chuquisaca y de Bolivia. Las exposiciones en otras universidades de Bolivia, se realizarán con el apoyo de la Fundación REDES, que la creadora del género filMövil, y que brindará su apoyo al grupo de jóvenes voluntarios que participamos en esta iniciativa.
Además se promoverán los foto-reportajes en redes sociales de cada voluntario, grupos universitarios, canales de TV, y sitios web institucionales de la Fundación REDES y sus aliados (con más de 500 mil usuarios).
El fundamento de tu Historia: ¿Qué fue lo que te inspiró para hacer tu emprendimiento y por qué?
Lo que inspiro la realización de este proyecto es el hecho de que cada día que pasa en nuestro país los casos de vih y sida van en aumento. Y la población en general y más aún los jóvenes universitarios y colegiales no tienen la “suficiente” y “atractiva” información de cómo prevenir, ni cómo evitar la transmisión del vih.
Debemos promover la forma más entretenida e interactiva de crear mensajes de prevención que sean bien recibidos por estudiantes y por la población en general. Y mejor si lo hacemos para ser vistas en todo tipo de celulares. Además contamos con apoyo de Fundación REDES y su equipo de expertos.

En la medida que los servicios sean requeridos por instituciones públicas y privadas, se podrán generar nuevos ingresos y abordar muchos otros temas educativos.
¿Cómo definirás el éxito tu emprendimiento a largo plazo (1-3 años)?
Después de un estudio y un análisis de los primeros meses de trabajo…
La producción de foto-reportajes con celular bajo metodología filMóvil, se convierte en una práctica común entre estudiantes universitarios, interesados en producir información de prevención de la transmisión del vih y sida; contando con el apoyo de organizaciones nacionales como la Asociación Boliviana de Investigadores de la Comunicación (ABOIC), la Asociación de periodistas de Bolivia; la Federación de Asociaciones de Municipios de Bolivia (FAM Bolivia); la Red nacional TICBolivia; la Red nacional de colegios Fe y Alegría; el Ministerio de Educación y la Vicepresidencia del Estado, con apoyo de Fundación REDES con las que tiene convenios.
¿Qué indicadores(s) usarás para medir el éxito de tu emprendimiento durante el primer año?
• Documento de sistematización de la experiencia, con resultados, aprendizajes y recomendaciones.
• Cantidad de eventos realizados de presentación de foto-reportajes en Chuquisaca, La Paz, Cochabamba y Santa Cruz.
•Cantidad de personas que recibieron los mensajes en eventos públicos, prensa, televisión e internet.
•Cantidad de socios institucionales que reproducen y difunden gratuitamente foto-reportajes educativos de prevención del vih y sida.
•Registro hemerográfico de las presentaciones y cobertura de foto-reportajes en todo el país.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Cómo vas a reclutar nuevos miembros?
Se convocará a equipos de estudiantes voluntarios en realizar los foto-reportajes para participar en talleres cortos organizados con el apoyo de Fundación REDES y con su equipo de capacitación. Como son talleres cortos, de no más de un día, se programarán varios talleres de acuerdo al nivel de interés de los estudiantes, lo que puede aumentar el número de foto-reportajes previstos.
En todos los casos, se realizarán cronogramas de tareas, y se contará con el apoyo del líder del equipo para hacer seguimiento y coordinar el cumplimiento de actividades, de manera colaborativa. Además, se designarán tareas en equipos de 2 y 3 personas, de manera que se pueda tener la posibilidad de relevar responsabilidades entre cada grupo.
En todos los casos, se brindarán certificados de trabajo voluntario brindados por Fundación REDES y con valor curricular, además que se reconocerá el apoyo de los y las voluntarias en todas las presentaciones públicas.
¿Cómo vas a nombrar nuevos líderes cuando los fundadores del emprendimiento tengan que irse?
La iniciativa es auto-sostenible y no requiere una organización juvenil formal y estable. Se sentarán las bases para que cualquier estudiante voluntario capacitado, pueda desarrollar de manera voluntaria y por su propia cuenta otras iniciativas de foto-reportajes con diversos grupos de personas.
Se trata de una modalidad de trabajo colaborativo y horizontal. Se espera que el desarrollo del método filMóvil, se constituya en una oportunidad laboral para voluntarios interesados en promover nuevos mensajes con foto-reportajes en la universidad, barrios, colegios, etc., lo que podrá garantizar que en adelante las iniciativas de producción de contenido, sean parte de una movida cultural y de activismo ciudadano.
Además, la Fundación REDES se compromete a dar asistencia técnica de acuerdo a solicitudes de estudiantes motivados a seguir trabajando en estos contenidos digitales.
¿Cómo vas a continuar tu proyecto después de 6 meses? ¿Con qué recursos piensas seguir?
Se espera que el colectivo de jóvenes que participará en el proyecto, pueda constituirse en una micro-empresa de creación de contenidos educativo-preventivos en Bolivia. Se gestionará el apoyo financiero de Fundación REDES para generar un capital de arranque y la creación de reglas de trabajo y la formalización de la empresa.
En la medida que los servicios sean requeridos por instituciones públicas y privadas, se podrán generar nuevos ingresos y abordar muchos otros temas educativos.

We are at a crisis point in education today. Many teachers and children are feeling disconnected, stressed out and unmotivated. The pressures brought on by the new mandated instructional practices from both Federal and State Departments of Education are felt by all members of the school community. There is a decrease in pro-social skills and an increase in anti-social behaviors. Most answers to this problem focus on programming. My approach focuses on building a new consciousness within the school community.

We are at a crisis point in education today. Many teachers and children are feeling disconnected, stressed out and unmotivated. The pressures brought on by the new mandated instructional practices from both Federal and State Departments of Education are felt by all members of the school community. There is a decrease in pro-social skills and an increase in anti-social behaviors. Most answers to this problem focus on programming. My approach focuses on building a new consciousness within the school community. This consciousness is based on creating an authentic learning environment through open and often vulnerable communication that emphasizes compassion, empathy, collaboration and problem solving. My work focuses on facilitating emotional safety for all members of the school community.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
1. Complete, publish and market The School of Belonging Learning Institute's newest resource: The School of Belonging: Empathy in Practice (in process).
2. Implement The School of Belonging Learning Institute with three unique learning communities: New Directions Alternative Secondary School in the Bronx, NY, Hunter College Magnet School (grades k-12), in Manhattan, NY, and with Beacon Secondary School (grades 6-12), in Beacon, NY.
3. Run four School of Belonging Learning Institute training sessions at the Fellowship for Reconciliation training site in Nyack, NY. Schools from New York City and the New York metropolitan area will be invited to take part. This will be followed up with a 5 day School of Belonging Certification Program in the summer, 2014 at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY.

Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
The School of Belonging Learning Institute (SBLI), has evolved over the past 30 years into a unique and innovative culture building process. Institute creator David A. Levine has created authentic learning experiences which facilitate self-reflection and behavior change through his music, cutting edge books, meaningful dialogue, applied skills, and classroom demonstrations. The SBLI process has consistently created systemic transformational learning which has proven to be life changing for many teachers, leaders, children and parents. David wants SBLI to be a robust process that will make significant social change in our schools and communities. In the past year, he has established relationships with several foundations who are devoted to social and emotional learning and he is currently negotiating with school districts from a variety of socio-economic realms. As creator of SBLI, David needs help in branding his vision and marketing his work in such a way that schools from all over the world, who are in need of creating caring and empathic learning communities, will want to implement The School of Belonging Learning Institute for their teachers and students .

Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
I would like support in my organization overall. I have been working on my own since 1992. After meeting several colleagues through Ashoka, I realized that I needed to scale up my work to make a greater difference in the world. Creativity, passion and belief do not always equal a sound business plan and that is what I need assistance with. In the past few weeks, I have been approached by three different school districts looking to establish a long-range working relationship with The SBLI process, and I now see the need to refine my focus on marketing, capacity building. and service delivery.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
I have always worked on my own, often thriving with minimal marketing or a strategic plan. Whenever I thought of scaling up, I wasn't sure how to do it as my work was so uniquely connected to my personality and expression. Last October while speaking with the Novo Foundation about social and emotional learning, I was told me how much in alignment they were with me but that I needed to move my work from being "boutiquey" to being "robust". This wasn't exactly a business consultation but it did help change my thinking in terms of what was needed to scale up The School of Belonging process.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Since 1992, David A. Levine has developed and implemented School of Belonging concepts in app. 400 schools, impacting 10,000 teachers and 52,000 youth. He has worked with students, teachers, principals, parents and central administrators, running workshops and teaching classes on building classroom communities, creating emotionally safe schools, ,and working effectively in teams. The greatest successes have been demonstrated by teachers taking David's ideas, modifying them to match their own teaching styles and the unique needs of their students, and integrating School of Belonging practices into their classrooms. David's work has influenced teachers, leaders and policy makers across the United States, in Guam, New Zealand, India, and Canada. Many pre-service programs use David's books.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
The School of Belonging Learning Institute will become a known entity in the United States and beyond, establishing a further reaching voice, influence and impact in creating schools that truly meet the social and emotional learning needs of their students. The changes that will come about from infusing School of Belonging principles into a school's cultural practices, will have a profound effect on the future well-being and life success of our most critical sustainable resource: our children. Over the next three years, in addition to the US, SBLI will have a presence in New Zealand, England, Canada and Australia, helping to make schools places where children learn the life skills of empathy, compassion, problem solving, collaboration, self-reflection, and leadership.

Unlike children from more affluent communities, children who live in low-income neighborhoods don't have much access or exposure to a wide variety of professionals. Therefore, they have a limited vision of the careers towards which they can strive. This career day program seeks to change that by helping such children, at an early age, identify what they love to do and explore careers that reflect their passions. Students have an individual interview yearly, during which they tap into their interests, learn about 40-50 careers, and then choose two careers to learn about for Career Day.

Students have an individual interview yearly, during which they tap into their interests, learn about 40-50 careers, and then choose two careers to learn about for Career Day. By 5th grade, each student has had 7 interviews and met 14 of these role models, experiences which will be invaluable to them as they make choices in their adult lives.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
Business Plan
Creation of Accountability and Evaluation tools
Replication of the program in other schools.
Need #1
Peer Benchmarking Analysis
Need #2
Customer Relationships
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
Need #1. I need to develop tools to evaluate the effectiveness of the program short-term and longitudinally. My research on the web cannot find a single child-centered program geared to the individual elementary school student. Consequently, I have no standard, accepted tools of measurement for comparison. I need to build measurement standards, not just for accountability to funders, but because the feedback will help me to build in a continuous process of improved effectiveness. #2. I have chosen to serve a NYC public school in the poorest Congressional district in the country. The children's education is compromised, as school staff, students and their families feel pressure to test well in order to give the school a good performance grade to avoid being shut down. The pressure to meet immediate testing needs deters administrators from investing their limited time on extra non-academic programs such as mine, that focus on long-term career goals.We need a strategy to become more effective in working within this stressed educational system and in getting administrators and teachers to “buy in” to the notion that our program can be complementary to their mission.
3.
Empowering individuals through the finding and recognition of their strengths.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
I will need overall help in the following areas but can choose just one to focus on during the internship. I would like help with any one of the following areas: the creation of a business plan, create accountability measures, the replication of our program to another school and with fund raising.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
I have not worked on any of the above areas (except for creating accountability measures) with an objective outside consultant. I met with a researcher for a year the first year we were up and running in 2009, but was not convinced that he had a clear understanding of the programs objectives.
Are you able to commit 3-5 hours/wk over 10-12 weeks?
Sí
Are you able to meet virtually or at a convenient in-person location?

1.
Students will have access to community role models who discuss the discovery of and educational path towards their career.
2.
Students will use the skills they learned from the program to make informed and meaningful career choices as adults.
3.
Replication of the program in other schools to create a national program.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
1.) A large number of students report in post career day interviews that they can see themselves having the career they learned about on Career Day. Students are overwhelmingly enthusiastic about attending career day and love being interviewed. The Principal said it is their favorite day of the school year. 2.) Children often come to the interview with preconceived notions about the careers they would like to learn about but once they have tapped into their talents and passions and learn about a wide variety of careers, their choices often change. We have not seen the long term effects of the interview process but would like to create a longitudinal measure of the effectiveness of our intervention/interview. 3.) I have not begun working on a solution as of yet.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
I am hoping that the consultations will help me to see if the post career day interview is a good measure of the effectiveness of the program. I am hoping that I can secure an effective strategy to work with very stressed clients, (the NYC public schools) to facilitate a greater collaboration in my present school and in future schools.

Resúmen: ¿De qué tema o problema específico trata tu emprendimiento?
Why we have growing childhood obesity rate? Why we have flooded information available and we still unable to tackle the issue? How we can develop a healthy life style at early age? I have a solution!
Eating right in school. Meaning, not only should our school's food not have, for example, Trans fat, but also be of quality; furthermore, students can pick their own portion size that's right to them. As of now, the food served in public school cafeterias have limited selection, few freshly made options, no choice of portion size, and no nutrition information disclosed. We have the desire to be fit and healthy, but do we have the platform?
Enunciado de tu misión: ¿Qué hace tu emprendimiento?
To let kids understand the right food they should be eating, and the quality and effort that goes into making real, quality, and worth food. To be able to pick portions that support their life style.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Having a group of kids (early adaptors) to help, and try different catering/food providers that can give my students a healthy and beneficial meal every day. By actually going through, and looking at what these companies are putting into their food; why they are serving it; and where they get it from can make students more conscious about food they are eating. Having students be part of the decision making process in selecting and providing feedback to cafeteria service, they will be advocate of “new” cafeteria food and influence a greater population of students more so than teachers can!
To change the food serving model to give students/teachers choices of foods, portion, and pay for the portion. Having more freshly (less processed) made food, more variety so students can pick their own food combination, and amount they’d like to eat; along with clear nutrient/calorie information so students can make informed decision about what they eat. In the long run, this will help them develop a good habit of eating healthy and right portion.
La comunidad: Define tu comunidad, local, nacional o internacional, con la cual vas a trabajar. ¿Cuál es tu público objetivo, a qué población vas a dirigir tus acciones? ¿Existen otras organizaciones que ya trabajan en este tema en tu comunidad?
Definitley a very small town that I live in as a pilot. But, I want to see how far this project goes, and see how and what other schools are eating. Is it better or worse? Expanding it into other districts, regional and national. And maybe launch my own food producing company to provide for kids, all around the world, with healthy food.
El fundamento de tu Historia: ¿Qué fue lo que te inspiró para hacer tu emprendimiento y por qué?
End of the day, tired, and hungry, very hungry. My friend and I got to the lunch stand that was seriving up sandwiches, that you could make yourself. YUM, right? So, my friend first, and she asked the lady for some roast beef. Story cut short, she whispers to my friend to not get the roast beef because it's old. YOU ARE KIDDING ME! Old roast beef, and I can bet that my friend wasn't the first one who tried to order roast beef, but was lucky enough to actually get warned.
It really inspired me because when I realize that the food being served in my cafeteria is like this, then I really need to make a change. Just for the students in my school to realize and understand that we can't let hunger change our instincts of what real, hardy food is. In addtion, at this age: we have strong desire to be good and fit, but feel so powerless with what's available. Lastly, more and more kids are from both parents working families, we rely more on school cafeteria.
¿Cuál es la visión a largo plazo de tu emprendimiento?
Going world wide! I think it will take long, but I am excited to maybe have my own food producers in foreign countries to help kids and shelters provide healthy food.

Young people have great potential to become life-long change agents after a single successful experience. Yet many lack the training and tools to get their first idea off the ground. Further, university students, often inspired from travel abroad, long to create meaningful impact in the world around the issues they are most passionate about. So called "Do-It-Yourself" philanthropy is often impulsive, conducted without alignment with a local community's needs or participation, and thus unsustainable.

Young people have great potential to become life-long change agents after a single successful experience. Yet many lack the training and tools to get their first idea off the ground. Further, university students, often inspired from travel abroad, long to create meaningful impact in the world around the issues they are most passionate about. So called "Do-It-Yourself" philanthropy is often impulsive, conducted without alignment with a local community's needs or participation, and thus unsustainable. Global Grassroots' uAcademy for Conscious Change integrates mindfulness and conscious leadership practices with social entrepreneurship skills in a 40-hr social venture incubator. The uAcademy catalyzes compassionate and sustainable ventures designed and led by students here or abroad.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
We have piloted our first uAcademy program for 22 students at Dartmouth College in 2012 and will begin a second program at the University of Virginia in May. Our top priority is to scale our uAcademy program as an earned-income strategy for our organization by: (1) building a client-base of 3-5 new schools across the US university market, (2) better packaging, pricing and positioning the uAcademy for greater economies of scale as we establish the infrastructure to support the program long-term, and (3) building visibility and branding around the program and its impact on youth's capacities as empathetic and conscious change agents.
Need #1
Consumer/Audience Acquisition
Need #2
Message & Brand Strategy
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
We need assistance building a client base of university or institutional clients that are willing to partner with us to bring the uAcademy to their campuses. The ideal partnership would (a) deliver revenue for our general operations on a fee-for-service basis, (b) enable us to offer a permanent program annually, such as a 1-2 week social venture incubator over each January term or spring break, (c) collaborate in conducting monitoring and evaluation or academic research on the individual and societal impact of the student ventures and test our metrics for social-emotional learning + conscious change leadership, and (d) raise visibility for and validate our efforts to advance a more conscious approach to international development and social entrepreneurship.
1.
Alignment of or shared missions to guide the collaboration.
2.
Willingness to experiment with and then thoroughly evaluate and learn from innovative approaches.
3.
Authentic communication and desire to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.

Support from American Express would be focused on the uAcademy, one of several Global Grassroots programs that support grassroots change agents globally. The uAcademy is our primary US-based program, which adapts our proven curriculum that we have been using in Africa for 7 years with undereducated women survivors of war. The uAcdemy was designed to support young people in developing themselves as conscious agents of change, while earning income for our developing country work and bringing greater academic research, visibility and validation of all our programs.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
We have worked in a limited capacity with consultants to help us develop a general fundraising strategy and to identify strategic partnerships. We have also worked with graduate students from MBA programs and PR programs who have offered pro-bono consulting over an academic term. However, due to budgetary limitations, we have never had the opportunity to work with a professional consulting team or firm to help us fully develop these interest areas. Given the uAcademy is a brand new endeavor, we have not yet had the opportunity to pursue a client acquisition, branding or scale strategy.
Are you able to commit 3-5 hours/wk over 10-12 weeks?
Sí
Are you able to meet virtually or at a convenient in-person location?
Sí
Are you able to meet in the city where your organization is based?
Sí
1.
3-5 new university or institutional partners for the uAcademy
2.
program packaging and positioning that will allow us to replicate sustainably
3.
branding strategy that will generate traditional and new media visibility
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Our Academy for Conscious Change in Africa (Rwanda, Uganda and Liberia) has trained over 400 change agents, who are operating or in the process of developing 47 social ventures. Those 25 that are operational serve over 25,000 women and girls every year. Our first uAcademy program at Dartmouth College supported 22 students in designing 12 organizations, including an educational program for the children of migrant workers in Beijing, a venture using theater to fight teen suicide among Inuit youth in Alaska, and a campaign to ensure pregnant students can continue their education. We then took 6 students to Liberia to design a future exchange program in collaboration with our Liberian change agents. We will repeat our program at Dartmouth this fall and pilot a new program at UVA in May.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
If we are able to establish 3-5 new university partnerships, each offering the program to 25 students annually, we would serve a potential 175 students each year. Among these student participants, we would target the launch of 25-50 new social ventures each year that would be designed through our uAcademy incubator. Most of our African ventures go on to benefit 500 - 2500 people annually, so when students follow through on their implementation, their work could potentially reach 12,500 - 125,000 others.

leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Cómo definirás el éxito de tu emprendimiento durante el primer año de operaciones (1-6 meses)?
En Ecuador el hablar de sexualidad es muy complicado, no existe apertura para el tema, pero su impacto seriía grande al ver que muchos chicos podrán ser sensibilizados en el tema del VIH y diversidad sexual, reduciendo así el estigma y la discriminación que actualmente se presenta en los jóvenes.
¿Cómo definirás el éxito tu emprendimiento a largo plazo (1-3 años)?
Al trabajar con jóvenes estamos modificando la manera errónea de actuar frente al VIH/ sida, el impacto ayudará a que muchos jóvenes entiendan el tema y en tres años la reduccion del estigma sera menor, mas aún si llegamos a mas instituciones educativas.
¿Qué indicadores(s) usarás para medir el éxito de tu emprendimiento durante el primer año?
Las metas serán unos de los indicadores, el cambio de conductas y comportamientos, las disminuciones del estigma las podemos trabajar con los psicólogos de los centros educativos para medir el impacto y los cambios en sus conducatas mediante entrevistas, estudios de casos.

Resúmen: ¿De qué tema o problema específico trata tu emprendimiento?
My venture address the issue of student athletes who focus more on being an athlete than a student.
Enunciado de tu misión: ¿Qué hace tu emprendimiento?
My venture is a free service provided for struggling student athletes. My venture was created for student athletes who are not preparing well for college or just need help raising their grades. The problems are that on average in my school student athletes have the lower grades than just regular students. A large portion of this is because they don’t understand the material and no extra help is offered to them. Another problem is that they don’t have any motivation to do well in school because they don’t have any plans after high school or they assume that they will go pro in whatever sport they play. Today’s solution is just to keep their gpa at a C average so that they will be eligible to play sports. If they are struggling in a class they are just suppose to ask their friends for help. In order to plan what they want to do after high school they are suppose to go to their guidance councilor. (There are only two for my whole high school). The market for my program is for all student
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
A student athlete comes to one of the meetings after and we ask him about his grades and his plans after high school. We see that his grades are struggling and he plans to play basketball in college. We show him the statistics of how many people get a college scholarship for athletics (1.9%) and show him how focusing on raising his grades would be more beneficial in trying to get into college. He raises his grades well above the required 2.3 GPA necessary to play sport at our school and gets into a state college. After attending one of the job fairs that S.A,P.P hosted he knows that he wants to major in health sciences and go on to become a pharmacist.Several years later he comes back to the school and gives a speech about the importance of focusing on school over sports during a school assembly.
La comunidad: Define tu comunidad, local, nacional o internacional, con la cual vas a trabajar. ¿Cuál es tu público objetivo, a qué población vas a dirigir tus acciones? ¿Existen otras organizaciones que ya trabajan en este tema en tu comunidad?
I will work in behalf of my venture Students Athlete Progression Program at Trinity Catholic High school as a after school program. It will start at Trinity Catholic High School with Mr. Greathouse as my ally. aI will then later spread out towards public high schools in my surrounding area and eventually statewide. The venture will effect the 55.5% students nationwide who who play high school sports.
El fundamento de tu Historia: ¿Qué fue lo que te inspiró para hacer tu emprendimiento y por qué?
Countless times I have seen people in my school put all their effort in sports and not try hard at school only to then fall short of an athletic scholorship and end up not knowing what to do with their life after high school. In my house I was raised that God, family, and school come before everything else and it was so disappointing to see people so close to me waste their educations. I wanted to start something that would have a large influence in my generation in the community.
¿Cuál es la visión a largo plazo de tu emprendimiento?
I see my venture branching out to the public school system and becoming a nationwide club with branches in every high school after schools see the success that comes from the S.A.A.P. method.

My Ventures short term success will be that it has have made an impact in my community by helping those who teachers often overlook. My venture is only successful if we help others to succeed. Just helping students plan out their future and raise their grades is what success is to my venture on the short term.
¿Cómo definirás el éxito tu emprendimiento a largo plazo (1 año)?
The long term success for my Venture is that it will spread from my surrounding community to across America. It's success will be measured by the lives changed and the progress that is made from the students enrolled in the program. My ventures success in the long-term will be that it will be a household name for where student-athletes go when they're struggling in school or looking for direction in their lives.
¿Qué indicadores(s) usarás para medir el éxito de tu emprendimiento durante el primer año?
If when I die I have made this world a better place by my actions than I have succeeded. My venture is not meant to be somthing that is abandoned oncemy entrepreneurship class is over or when I graduate high school but it is meant to be something that will continue to work on and improve throughout my life. I want my programs drive and determination to stand out from other programs and if I succeed this program will build upon itself and last long after I have passed. If all this happens than I will know that the world is a better place than it was when I entered it and than I will know I have succeeded.
¿Por qué?
Because of my belief that given the chance individuals will rise to the occasion and succeed against all odds.
Labels are for jars not for people, but if they stick then turn the negative labels and replace them with positive ones like innovator, world changer & dream maker. We will get to where we need to be by following our aspirations, causing a ruckus and never giving up, we are celebrated not tolerated and defy all odds! Experts built the titanic and it sunk, amateurs built the Ark & it floated.

Women hold only 10% of national decision-making positions in Nepal. An increase in allocated leadership positions, such as a 33% quota for women in state structures, represents new opportunities for women but schools & civil society are failing to equip them with the tools to access these positions.
As the only leadership development organization for young women, led by young women, in Nepal, Women LEAD believes that the solution is long-term leadership development for girls. Since 2011, we’ve empowered over 400 young women to become leaders in their schools & communities. We’re locally owned & youth-led: all of our team are young women under 25. We include boys when appropriate (40% of participants in our Leadership track), as boys need to learn to work with & support female leaders.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
1) Train 200 students through the LEAD Program.
2) Establish our Resource Center which will hold events for up to 1000 young women leaders across Kathmandu.
3) Raise our operating budget of $60,000 for 2013-2014.

Peer Benchmarking Analysis
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
We are a young organization with a very small donor base (less than 100 donors), a small email list (around 200) and a growing audience on social media channels (more than 1,500 followers on Facebook and 800 on Twitter). We also have only one staff member dedicated to fundraising (though we are expanding our capacities with our Board and Fundraising Committee in the US). We have opportunities to expand our fundraising within and beyond the US but have not identified and developed the strategies to do so. It would be very helpful for American Express to help us identify the gaps in our current strategy and form new tactics to reach new audiences. We need help in:
1. Effectively managing our social media community to increase conversion rates from “follower” to “donor”;
2. Developing a strategy for international engagement targeting: family foundations, business partners in the Nepali tourism industry, and high-capacity donors;
3. Identifying and cultivating a portfolio of 50 mid-to-high capacity donors (1,000-5,000 annual cash gifts) with the goal of ten major gift solicitations by the end of FY ’13-14.
1.
Honesty - being open about expectations and disagreements.
2.
Clarity - being clear about expectations and deliverables from the beginning
3.
Appreciation - recognizing and being grateful for each other's contribution to the partnership
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
Support will be focused on our fundraising strategy. Ideally American Express would study our existing strategy, evaluate its effectiveness, and propose new tactics for the strategy to increase and diversify our donors.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
Half my time as the US Executive Director is focused on fundraising. I created a fundraising strategy for Fiscal Year 2013 (which for us ends in June). Our revenue stream was divided into institutional gifts, individual gifts and events. We worked with a consultant from Accenture for one session who reviewed our existing strategy and proposed new options. Although we did raise the amount needed until the end of the fiscal year, we did not hit some of our other targets, such as recruiting 10 major donors and growing our individual donor base.
Are you able to commit 3-5 hours/wk over 10-12 weeks?
Sí
Are you able to meet virtually or at a convenient in-person location?

Are you able to meet in the city where your organization is based?

1.
Create a fundraising strategy that reaches new audiences such as the tourism industry and high net worth individuals.
2.
Identify 50 mid to high capacity donors (1,000-5,000 USD)
3.
Grow our individual donor base by 100% to 200 donors
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
400 leaders have graduated from our organization. While only 18% of women over 25 have a secondary education or higher in Nepal, 87% of our 2010 graduates are attending university, studying subjects such as dental surgery, biotechnology, architecture & civil engineering. Our participants gain confidence in their abilities & skills, self-identify as leaders, raise their voices to advocate for change, form & work towards their career goals & become more politically aware & active. They’re challenging their community’s treatment of women, writing op-eds on the misrepresentation of women & becoming role models/mentors to younger students. Participants join a peer support network & develop supportive relationships that will help them face the challenges of advocating for a gender equal society.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
With American Express' support, we will be able to create a diverse fundraising strategy, which is a critical part of our sustainability as an organization. It will help us take our fundraising to the next level to ensure that we can invest in operational costs and retain and recruit full-time staff. Investing in our staff will enable us to expand our operations in Nepal (going from impacting 200 young women a year to more than 1,000) and look into replicating our model in other countries. With our current fundraising level, we cannot scale up our model.

Resúmen: ¿De qué tema o problema específico trata tu emprendimiento?
The Careers addresses the issue of unsatisfactory educational performance, especially in students grades 5-10. It targets the students' side of the issue often called "accountability" through emphasizing inspiration and instilling a sense of purpose in youth. Accountability is the idea of giving schools, districts, and educators the responsibility for student achievement, and my venture aims to improve student accountability through raised awareness and motivation of the relevance of education (hopefully inspiring them along the way). Struggling students often lack a sense of purpose at school, feeling stupid and discouraged which only makes improving even more difficult than doing well in the first place. The Careers targets these students and aims to give them a brighter perspective toward scholastic achievement and a sense of purpose as to why they should put effort into education.
Enunciado de tu misión: ¿Qué hace tu emprendimiento?
The Careers will provide information about industries and careers, explaining the importance of education in each, with the intention of inspiring students to choose and pursue a goal, thus giving them a personal reason to put more effort into their academic performance. In terms of accountability, schools are responsible for building a solid curriculum, districts deal managing schools and setting standards, teachers are charged with educating, and students with learning. Students are the only branch not receiving an income for the fulfillment of their responsibility, and often lack an explanation to the teacher-hated question "why do I need to know this?" Students receive no universal or standard incentive to even try in school; each is driven by some combination of parent influence, fear of authority, fear of failure, personal goals, or has no drive at all. My venture will offer "proof" as to the relevance of education in relation to careers, and motivation to succeed in school.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Alex is a freshman at a public high school is South Florida. She has three C's, a D in English and Science, and an F in her low-level math class. Her younger brother also has poor grades and her parents do not push her or punish her. She is uninvolved in activities and spends her time at the mall with friends. Alex doesn't do homework or worry about her bad grades, crediting them to the fact that she is "bad at school, and school is stupid anyway." She loves fashion magazines and idolizes the design team behind Proenza Schouler and the editor in chief of Teen Vogue Amy Astley. While on stumbleupon.com, Alex comes across TheCareers.com and browses around, looking at pictures and reading about jobs that look exciting. She finds the fashion industry page of the site and reads about the job descriptions of designers, magazine editors, stylists, and writers, among others. Interested that many professionals in the industry have gone to universities and design schools, she discovers that Amy Astley has a degree in English Literature and designers behind Proenza Schouler have degrees from Parsons. Alex reads about many other industry successes and finds that they praise the value of knowledge of many disciplines, including art history and fashion history, social sciences and anthropology, and foreign languages. This experience ignites wishes and hope inside Alex, and she begins to take more of an interest in school. She sees that the people she admires, and people like them she didn't even know about, are well educated and have proven the value of knowledge.

Because my Venture, at least the central project, is a website, my community is essentially global, although I can target my efforts in my local community. Access to the website will be free to users, and the user needs only access to the internet. The youth population is mainly affected as I am targeting students in grades 5-10. As with all ventures, my audience will be small and centered around my community upon the initial website launch. By hosting career days or presenting at schools in the three South Florida counties (Miami Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach county), I will be able to spread the word and promote The Careers in my community. Miami-Dade county is the 4th largest district in the country and Broward is the 7th (roughly 350,000 and 260,000 students, respectively), so targeting these areas to work on behalf of will enable me to make a large impact with my voice and venture. There are many career books, a few websites dedicated to describing careers, and organizations targeting youth in terms of education improvement, but there are not organizations trying to improve academic performance through means of "career awareness."
El fundamento de tu Historia: ¿Qué fue lo que te inspiró para hacer tu emprendimiento y por qué?
It all started with my best friend. Eden is kind, generous, and a great friend, but I have always been worried about her because she has never seem academic success nor liked school at all. She went to a speech therapist for phonation issues as a child and has gone through three years of tutoring, but her low grades have never improved because she has no drive to put forth effort. In my own school, my friends are frustrated with the amount of work we do, without anyone telling us "why." I have often wondered what sets my good grades and willing attitude apart from Eden's poor academic performance and my friends' skepticism toward the value of our education. I realized that it is the influence of inspiration- I see the connection between knowledge now and acceptance to my "first choice" university and the opportunity to have a "cool" job as an adult. I came up with the idea for this website as a means of enlightening teenagers about cool jobs that exist and how education plays a role.
¿Cuál es la visión a largo plazo de tu emprendimiento?
My long-term vision is that middle and high school students will visit the website based on word-of-mouth, a teacher recommendation, or coming across it on a discovery engine. I intend to create a website that students will find inspiring and entertaining, which will be enhanced in certain communities with career day presentations at schools and community centers. I aspire to explain and convince youth that putting effort into their education is worthwhile while helping them establish a sense of purpose. Eventually spread the message of The Careers through other means of media, possibly as a software application, social media pages, or a television commercial.

In the BIG PICTURE of the first year, I see four categories of key activities to develop. 1) There is the creation of the website itself which means want to write and organize all of the content for the initial launch of the website, and produce and launch the website itself. 2) There is the promotion of the website- I want to market my venture and figure out how to get the website in the loop of discovery engines like StumbleUpon (over 25 million registered users), SpinSnap, and Pinterest (48.7 million users). Through this accomplishment, I plan to find other means of popularizing the website. 3) Within the first year I would like to look into supplementary website activities- such as blog posts, feature articles, establishing a scholarship program, or creating competitions, among other ideas- and accomplish selected ideas for the website. The boldest and most effective supplementary activity would be running small-scale career days in schools (starting with public middle schools in my area). There is no better way to teach and persuade than in person, with spoken words and live presentations. While the website is more of a passive approach to the issue, career fairs are an aggressive method of ensuring that my message is heard, not to mention gives me and my team a better opportunity to evaluate the influence of our ideas and discuss the status of academic performance in the schools. 4) Funding: I want to find sponsors to contribute to the project.
* The 6 month milestone will not allow me to type more than a line.
My six month milestone is:
Create, launch and promote the website and establish related projects, especially the career days in schools across Broward, Dade, and Palm Beach counties. The careers days are an optimal time to track growth- presenters can have discussions with groups of students and administrators to evaluate the impact of The Careers. The Careers, first and foremost, is meant to serve struggling students; and so we should mainly focus on the percentage of students who moved from below to at or above standard proficiency levels. Academic improvement of students with learning deficiencies should be taken into account, along with students of ethnic minorities, children learning English as a second language, and economically disadvantaged students.
In twelve months, I would have like to accomplished the following:
The website should be completely created structurally, with new pages being added easily each month. Additionally, we should have an established list of schools for which we plan and host annual career days. By the twelve-month mark, I would like to have shifted some focus to activities beside the careers days (such as the idea of offering scholarships or having online competitions of sorts).

In the short term, the first priority is creating the content, which involves research, conducting, interviews, writing, and organizing media on the website. Thus, my Venture defines success as completing this within seven months.
¿Cómo definirás el éxito tu emprendimiento a largo plazo (1 año)?
The definition of long term success for this Venture is acquiring readers, inspiring them with goals of fascinating careers, and proving that education has merit and is vital to having one of these dream-inducing careers. Success will also come in the form of keeping certain elements of the website current, possibly including keeping up with a weekly or monthly featured career, posting questions for readers, adding new industries and career entries to the website. Success is being in a state of constant improvement.
¿Qué indicadores(s) usarás para medir el éxito de tu emprendimiento durante el primer año?
Initially our success will be whether or not we have a website to launch. Long-term success is mostly a function of how many readers we acquire, how much we influence them, and how much they like the website and its features. I can measure the "how many" with a website hit counter and the subjective measurements will be made by user comments, questions, and concerns from the "Contact Us" page. Additionally, I can post surveys and evaluation questions on the website specifically asking users how (if at all) the website has motivated them to improve their grades and if it has given them previously inaccessible information they wanted. Our goal is to improve proficiency rates through providing students with a source of inspiration and a sense of purpose- evaluating annual proficiency rates based on standardized testing or looking at academic improvement of specific groups of struggling students (students with mental/physical disabilities, ESOL students, economically challenged students, etc.) can potentially measure our impact on our target students.
¿Por qué?
Reading individual testimonies, analyzing trends in academic performance & status of meeting standards will enable us to improve
