The Need: What social or environmental problem are you trying to solve?

On behalf of the children of this world and the future generations to come, ask our leaders to take baby steps towards peace and progressively increase the commitment over the years. If we all follow this then we can reach our goal by the year 2040.

The simple yet powerful action plan to achieve this goal to follow a simple pledge – a commitment to let peace have a chance to break out and enable the modern world to reap the peace dividend. Money spent on bombs and bullets can be redirected towards poverty and peace. The money saved by the days of peace and no conflict can be used by each country’s economy to solve problems such as illiteracy, global warming, cancer and AIDS research and other pressing issues.

The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!

World Peace 2014–2040 will impart the world community and the environment.

On behalf of the children of this world and the future generations ask our leaders to take baby steps towards peace and progressively increase the commitment over the years. If we all follow this then we can reach our goal by the year 2040.

There is a simple yet powerful action plan to achieve this goal. The plan consists of an elaborate art installation, a mass-appeal letter and email campaign urging leaders of the world to follow a simple pledge–a simple commitment to let peace have a chance to break out and enable the modern world to reap the peace dividend.

The money saved by the days of peace and no conflict can be used by each country’s economy to solve problems such as illiteracy, eradicating poverty, global warming, cancer and AIDS research cancer and can help countries to reach the UN millennium Development Goals

The Solution: Why is this solution innovative for your company and industry?

• Every 3.8 seconds someone dies of hunger in the world, 75 percent of those are children
• More than 800 million people go to bed hungry every day, 300 million are children
• More than 1.5 billion people around the world live on less than a $1 a day
• Over 40 million people have HIV/AIDS
• A billion people have inadequate access to water
The aim of this project is the need of the hour in world today is “Peace, Not Pieces”. We want “Peace for All”, “A World Peace”

The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include your primary activities.

• World Peace 2014–2040 has received an award from Tej Gyan Foundation www.tejgyan.org
• The project was presented at the Yale CEO Global Leadership Summit in October 2010.
• We have letters of support from the President of China, the President of Chili, the Prime Minister of Australia, and 22 Arab States

Founding Story: We want to hear about your "Aha!" moment. Share the story of where and when the founder(s) saw this solution's potential to change the world.

a) A picture of a child with a vulture sitting next to him. The picture was taken in 1994 by world renowned photographer Kevin Carter. It depicts an image of a tiny Sudanese child, whose limbs are as frail as twigs and ribs jutting out like a splinter, trying to crawl his way through the barren ground to an apparent UN food camp about a kilometer away. A few feet behind the starved child is a vulture calmly waiting for its meal to die. The saddest thing is that this is only one child. Living like this are another 1 billion people. It is one of the primary reasons for the project World Peace 2040.
b) My son’s words hit the home when after the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center, he expressed a desire to see the other tall building in the world before the terrorists destroy them. My immediate reaction was despair and fear; these are not the emotions that a child should be growing up with. My intention is to bring the world closer to peace.

What has been the impact of your solution to date?

• Every 3.8 seconds someone dies of hunger in the world, 75 percent of those are children.
• More than 800 million people go to bed hungry every day, 300 million are children.
• More than 1.5 billion people around the world live on less than a $1 a day.
• Over 40 million people have HIV/AIDS
• A billion people have inadequate access to water.
The money saved by the days of peace and no conflict can be used by each country’s economy to solve problems such as illiteracy, eradicating poverty, global warming, cancer and AIDS research cancer and can help countries to reach the UN millennium Development Goals.

What is your projected impact over the next 1 to 3 years?

We believe that attaining world peace has always been an objective that has never had a time frame and through this initiative, we are introducing the discipline of time to that noble cause. People act when they have a deadline to meet and that is what we are banking on.
Hence in 2014 we hope that the first day of each month will be World Peace Days (e.g. Jan 1, Feb 1, March 1,… Dec 1) would be World Peace Days or twelve days in 2014.

In the year 2015 the 1st and 2nd day of each month will be World Peace Days. That is Jan1 & 2, Feb 1 & 2, March 1 &2,…Dec 1 & 2 will be World Peace Days. That is 24 Peace Days in 2015

So after three years we expect 48 days of peace.

What barriers might hinder the success of your project? How do you plan to overcome them?

Terrorism. We have letters of support from the President of China, the President of Chili, the Prime Minister of Australia. We seek support from other leaders also.

• Emails and other contacts continuing with leaders and governments of the world.
• To present the proposal to the United Nations

Expand on your answer, explaining the long-term funding and support plan.

World is changing fast but still there is so much division and separation about cast, religion and race. However today youth is enthusiastic, broad minded, better thinker and liberal. Our target is to bring out the leader in them and prepare them to teach the lesson to the world about Peace and Unity. Internet is the easiest and widely spread medium through which we can reach to the people around the world. We will use the internet for social interaction, activities, and organizing the events. We will use social websites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace to attract and target the youth. Our goal is to give the better and peaceful world to the next generation. We want next generation to ask each other “How are you?” not “Who are you?”

Tell us about your partnerships across your company and externally that are key to your project's success.

Tell us about yourself/your team.

I am an entrepreneur right from my school days.While I was studying my Ordinary Level I traded in sugar,salt and soap to supplement on the families income.Later I taught but also established a boutique.In 1977 I joined the Uganda Army(UA) and shortly a war broke out between the 2nd Republic of Uganda and the Tanzania People's Defence Forces with the Uganda National Liberation Army.We were defeated and most of our officers and men were imprisoned,went in exile and others started armed rebellion.As for me because of my entrepreneurship spirit I started business of buying human medicine from pharmacys and selling them to private clinics.I was able to pay school fees for my sisters.When I retired from the National Resistance Army I established Uganda Peace Foundation.

What makes you an intrapreneur? What are the skills, capabilities, and personality traits that make you an intrapreneur?

I am independent,creative,courageous,patient and believe in incessant learning. I think out of the box and venture out into the unknown,into the unfamiliar territory,into the uncomfortable zones and the uncharted waters.
When I started Uganda Peace Foundation I was offered jobs by the Jinja District Service Commission and the Government of Uganda,also my sisters in Sweden invited me to go and work there;I declined all these opportunities though I was living on a shoe string budget and at times just having hot water for a meal,failing to pay tuition for my children and paying house rent.One time one of my sons told me that I love Uganda than them.They are part of the Uganda that I love.I know what Uganda Peace Foundation means for Uganda and mankind in general.

あなたのソリューションに最もあてはまる段階を選択してください:

The Need: What social or environmental problem are you trying to solve?

The most pressing challenge of the globe is conflicts coupled with terrorism.Most of the solutions are military approaches and other solutions are about conflict resolution and reconciliation,and post conflict rehabilitation.We need to tackle this problem by addressing the root causes of conflicts/insecurity.Close your eyes for ten minutes and examine the adverse effects of conflicts/insecurity.Women and girls have been raped,gun barrels have been forcefully inserted in their vaginas,they have been sold into sex slavery by warlords,great loss of human life,destruction of the infrastructure,depletion of natural resources,loss of economic opportunities,great injuries to fighting forces and civilians,and countries which were known to be economically strong have become weak economies after war

The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!

Uganda Peace Foundation,an organization that I established when I retired from the National Resistance Army(NRA) now Uganda People's Defense Forces(UPDF) in 1994 having first joined the Uganda Army(UA) in 1977 is an upshot of a research that I undertook on the root causes of conflicts/insecurity.The research findings revealed poverty coupled with unemployment and other social ills to be major causes of conflicts/insecurity.Since it's now acknowledged globally that these are the root causes of conflicts/insecurity it becomes imperative to develop strategies of inhibiting conflicts/insecurity by tackling poverty coupled with unemployment and other social ills.We spend less in preventing conflicts/insecurity than controlling them once they have occurred.And the best strategy is when you combine poverty eradication with peace building efforts.So in Uganda Peace Foundation we have developed these strategy that will prevent conflicts in Uganda and the entire world.Can be replicated elsewhere

The Solution: Why is this solution innovative for your company and industry?

This solution is innovative in our company and industry because it's the first that is addressing prevention of conflicts by combating the root causes and combines poverty eradication with peace building efforts.And applies both a top down and bottom up strategy with great participation of the masses.Today we see advocates of this approach such as the United States Institute for Peace,Global Partnership for Prevention of Armed Conflict and the CICS, University of Bradford.

The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include your primary activities.

This model of combining poverty eradication and peace building efforts makes a difference in preventing conflicts/insecurity as the poor people and the unemployed who are the raw material for armed conflicts/insecurity will be economically empowered by development programmes that we have initiated.These programmes include entrepreneurship training and having got skills to manage businesses we provide them with affordable micro finance capital.While we are doing this we also provide them with peace education.Another programme that will absorb the poor and the University graduates is the Village Earth Model which is intended to empower one million people in ten years.Other projects are for Human rights,Education,Environment,Hiv/Aids,Democracy and Good Governance,etc.Visit Uganda Peace Foundation website: https://sites.google.com/site/peacefoundationorgug.
Also visit the International Conference website for more on this model: http://regonline.activeeurope.com/internationalconferenceonpeacesecurity

The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others also working to address the needs you are and what differentiates you from them. What challenges could these players pose to your success or growth?

Our peers include the United Nations agencies,Center for International Cooperation on Security(CICS) of the University of Bradford,University of Peace at Costa Rica,The Global Partnership for Prevention of Armed Conflicts(GPPAC),A number of Universities including Makerere University,Kampala(Uganda),The African Union(AU),The East African Community(EAC),Inter Governmental organizations,Non Governmental Organizations,The Micro finance Summit Campaign, Inter Parliamentary Union,etc.This solution that have been crafted by Uganda Peace Foundation is new of its kind and once the stakeholders I have mentioned get together in the International Conference that we are organizing and they own the solution we shall fly beyond the sky.

Founding Story: We want to hear about your "Aha!" moment. Share the story of where and when the founder(s) saw this solution's potential to change the world.

I retired from the National Resistance Army(NRA) at a time of great political activities in our country and I had initially wanted to participate in the politics of Jinja District but somehow because of my military career with the Uganda ArmyI began receiving information on armed conflicts/insecurity in Uganda,this coupled with my military experience I started to do research on the root causes of conflicts/insecurity.After three years of research that led me to travel to the neighboring countries of Uganda in 1997 I concluded that poverty coupled with unemployment and other social ills were major causes of conflicts/insecurity.I abandoned the idea of joining politics and in 1998 I conceived the idea of starting Uganda Peace Foundation,as an organization to promote global peace/security by addressing the root causes.I started on the task of convincing the elite to join me and we form the Board of Trustees of the foundation.In September 1999 we registered this organization.

What has been the impact of your solution to date?

Stakeholders now including governments,local population, intergovernmental organizations,civil society organizations,the academia and the United Nations believe in addressing the root causes of conflicts/insecurity and some are advocating for our approach to conflict prevention.Peter Van Tuijl,Executive Director of Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflicts(GPPAC) says that, "The old state-centric,military-focused take on security falls short in addressing complex challenges,like transnational terrorist networks and the social inequalities conducive to conflict.We need a more holistic approach,carried out by different stakeholders,bases not only on national security considerations but on what it is that individuals and communities need in order to feel safe".
Local I have carried out sensitization on peace,trained people on entrepreneurship and the Millennium Development Goals(MDGs) in 42 districts of all regions of Uganda to a number of seven thousand people.

What is your projected impact over the next 1 to 3 years?

Our projected impact over the next 1-3 years will be great as this is the time that real economic benefits will be realized by the disadvantaged in Uganda as the Microfinance program and the Village Earth Model that was developed to empower one million people in a period of ten years will have been launched in the Karamoja Region of Uganda and will be rolled out in other regions of Uganda.We shall also market this idea in the neighboring countries that have also been entangled in armed conflicts.
Activities on Hiv/Aids prevention,care and support services,human rights,democracy and good governance,environment,education ,etc will all be implemented.Details of all activities that Uganda Peace Foundation will execute in the next years can be found out at our website.

What barriers might hinder the success of your project? How do you plan to overcome them?

Preparation for any development programme is essential for its success and I have invested in Uganda Peace Foundation fifteen years in terms of intellectual effort,time and money.The greatest barrier to the success of Uganda Peace Foundation is funding.I have done prospect research and donor relations that is why now having been in military trenches I am able to know funding opportunities like this one. We just need whole hearted cooperation of all stakeholders including funders for this idea to fly and be meaningful to the world.Though I was living on a shoe string budget at times taking hot water,unable to have fuel for cooking and lighting as well as paying school fees for my children and rent for accommodation I declined jobs and other opportunities.I knew what this idea meant.

What is the benefit or value you're creating for your business?

Uganda Peace Foundation is a membership based organization and is people oriented and most of the projects that we have carried out was out of membership fees.So far we have seven thousand members in 42 districts of all regions in Uganda organized in groups of twenties and we have now created a membership platform were people can become members from all over the world including Ugandans in the diaspora.The membership website is:
http://www.regonline.co.uk/ugandapeacefoundationmembershipformcopycopy

VALUE for the Foundation is SOCIAL CAPITAL

How are you leveraging internal resources (funds, time, knowledge, etc.) to support this initiative?

To support this initiative as I have alluded to is membership and then I have no other activity that I have time for other than Uganda Peace Foundation.That is why I declined job opportunities in the Uganda Government and Sweden so that I have time to develop Uganda Peace Foundation.I am married to the foundation.Many organizations fail because the authors fail to give 150 percent of their time and commitment to the organizations. One of the values of Uganda Peace Foundation is incessant learning and therefore explored all opportunities on the internet for knowledge generation.I believe in intellectual capital,social capital,reputational capital and emotional capital.That is the power of intangible assets.

Expand on your answer, explaining the long-term funding and support plan.

Other than funding that will be generated from membership fees,we shall also raise operational funding from the micro finance programme,workshops/conferences,magazines,membership identity cards,t.shirts,etc.We shall also develop relationships with donors and other stakeholders.

Tell us about your partnerships across your company and externally that are key to your project's success.

Yes,I am developing partnerships with the United Nations agencies,World Micro credit Summit Campaign,Intergovernmental Organizations,Civil Society Organizations,the Academia and Professional organizations that provide experts in different fields such as leadership,management,funding,membership mobilization,etc.

What internal support have you gotten for your project? What kind of push-back have you received?

Ugandans are very enthusiastic about the idea that is why we got that big membership.Of course we had challenges especially from people who believe in the traditional military take on security.And also micro finance players who are threatened with our friendly micro finance programme.And powerful people who didn't understand the concept of combining poverty eradication with peace building efforts.Those opposed to the National Resistance Movement Government,want peace after

アイデア（スタートする準備を整えている）

The Need: What social or environmental problem are you trying to solve?

Speeding, hit and run, accidents, carjacking, car chase, car bombs.. not the kind of words you want to read in a platform like this, for that matter anywhere. What if we can get in a system that will be able to curb some of these things if not all? Yes, this may be a very ambitious idea but then I think it’s worth giving it a shot.

The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!

Cloud Cops is my answer. What and how?
1. GPS
2. Smartcard
3. Integrated electronics
4. Embedded systems
5. And the Cloud!
Use of these technologies, collaboration with auto makers, support from the government and we will get what I call Cloud Cops and that this is something we can build with limited effort and use effectively towards a safer world.
Every vehicle will have a GPS system installed that will upload data to a secure cloud infrastructure. The system will make use of the smartcard to authenticate the driver (will use an existing system like social security number). The in vehicle embedded systems and integrated electronics will respond to commands from the cloud system.

The Solution: Why is this solution innovative for your company and industry?

There are disparate, unconnected, specific solutions to some of these problems. The solution I propose if implemented currently will be the first of the kind and will really help make the world a safer place

The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include your primary activities.

1. An accident takes place, and this integrated system will automatically alert the nearest hospital and rescue services.
2. No more carjacking, no need of installing LoJack and wait for the car to be robbed. The owner of the vehicle will have access to the cloud where he can configure which all users can drive his/her car. Since it is on the cloud it will be accessible from anywhere via the internet.
3. Speeding.. the driver will be warned by the system if he/she exceed speed limits that are determined by the ‘Cloud Cops’. The system will alert the ‘Cloud Cops’ about over speeding, auto tickets can be issued.
4. In needy circumstances the system will allow the ‘Cloud Cops’ to control the speed or get the vehicle to get to a standstill or invoke the immobilizer.
5. Hit and run.. ‘Cloud Cops’ would be able to figure out with the GPS data that which all vehicles were at the crime scene during the incident.
6. Parents can monitor their kids who are being transported by their drivers or school buses, monitor their teenage kids who drive.

The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others also working to address the needs you are and what differentiates you from them. What challenges could these players pose to your success or growth?

LoJack and a few others. Most of these solutions are reactive, the solution proposed here is proactive.

Founding Story: We want to hear about your "Aha!" moment. Share the story of where and when the founder(s) saw this solution's potential to change the world.

In my case, it is not a "aha" moment unfortunately, it is a "oh my god" moment. The n number of crimes that happen, the car bombs, the hit and runs, speed chase is what made me think of this

What has been the impact of your solution to date?

Submitted a ThinkWeek paper at Microsoft which received 3 stars. Need support to give this idea life.

What is your projected impact over the next 1 to 3 years?

In countries like the United States, implementing something like this should be technically feasible already. And this will definitely help reduce the crime rates in this area hugely. In countries like India, we need something like Adhaar to be implemented before this solution can be implemented.

What barriers might hinder the success of your project? How do you plan to overcome them?

Government red tape. Privacy of citizens. Proper policy framework and maximum automation.

What makes you an intrapreneur? What are the skills, capabilities, and personality traits that make you an intrapreneur?

The term "Intrapreneur" is befitting for me as it defines my experiences, background and interests as a cohesive term. While, I have been involved in several non-profit projects, yet, i have consistently been part of a larger corporate network. Working in the field of traditional strategy consulting has provided me an insight into workings of a commercial network. Consequently, due to my strong interest in developing market, I am drawn and often eager to apply my learnings from commercial practice into developing market. My desire to replicate successful business acumen to small entrepreneur initiative, while being connected to a large business market is , perhaps, a unique quality that makes me an Intrapreneur.

アイデア（スタートする準備を整えている）

The Need: What social or environmental problem are you trying to solve?

For over decade, Pakistan, has been a victim of Religious extremism, political anarchy, civil unrest. The most critical impact of this civil unrest has been on youth of Pakistan, who are caught up admist of chaos. Lack of dialogue, anti-American sentiments, poverty along with lack of education and basic resources, has left a talented and capable youth into hands of groups with their own personal agenda. The organize, hence, strives to bring some balance in the equation by creating avenue for youth to gain broader prospect through micro-finance educational funding, global buddy system and structured dialogue avenue, utilizing social media network

The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!

My solution is a well connected Pakistani-US youth organization catered to address the following business models to it's members
- Launch a pilot group of 10 Pakistani youth member group and connect them with 10 US youth members for a yr.
- Provide and establish a sustainable micro loan program to address education related expenses, monitored
- Develop an online buddy system between a Pakistani youth and US youth for mutual understanding, friendship and idea exchange.
- Establish an organized camp in Pakistan for all members annually for conflict resolution exercise

The Solution: Why is this solution innovative for your company and industry?

The solution is innovative as it addressed multi-layered youth issues under a single organization. The initiative will be a cross industry initiative addressing economic crisis, as well as social and community and youth development enterprise

The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include your primary activities.

The program is multi-layered initiative. After careful interview process and with aide of social workers here and in Pakistan, the group of youth with be identified. Youth member from Pakistan will be assigned a buddy for US group of youth student. Based on identified and pre-established agenda:
1) a camp will be organized in Pakistan to discuss key topics for clarity. Examples include: Misconceptions about America, Misconceptions about Pakistan. Main focus of the workshop will be to identify commonality. The student will share each other's experience. Music, Culture and, art will be leveraged.
2) Second part of the program, will be for US youth member to work with team of 3 professionals (myself, a social worker and a financial analyst profession) to identify key factors for a successful year long, bi-monthly meeting program for the Pakistani student.
3) Pakistani youth will also work with organization's financial analyst to devise a micro loan program for their immediate financial support.

The micro-loan process will last from for upto 500$ per student stretched over a period of 1 yr. Pakistani youth will have to commit for bi-monthly meeting with their buddy, and program coordinator, establish a repayment program in installment.

At the end of the yr, the student will graduate and qualitative metrics will be used to measure the programs progress. Hence, funding of around 5000$ is an initial goals for the organization. The business model suggests that successful return of the invest will further create funding for the next group of class.

The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others also working to address the needs you are and what differentiates you from them. What challenges could these players pose to your success or growth?

Currently, there are several youth organizations working on various different initiatives on a larger and smaller scale. A unique quality of this program is it shall serve as a ongoing platform for it's members providing intellectual insight, financial support and broader exposure to it's members

Founding Story: We want to hear about your "Aha!" moment. Share the story of where and when the founder(s) saw this solution's potential to change the world.

My Aha! moment did not result from one incident but several recent events in Pakistan. In addition, my participation as a facilitator shadowing last summer with Seed of Peace provided further desire to establish an organization catered for youth development in Pakistan

What has been the impact of your solution to date?

I have carried extensive research and have spent about two years building network in US and Pakistan to support and launch this initiative. A successful pilot launch of micro-finance educational opportunity, an online established US-Pakistan buddy program, a dialogue camp during summer will help measure success of the program this yr.

What is your projected impact over the next 1 to 3 years?

A successful launch of 10 youth member pilot program for the first yr and subsequent inaugural class every two yr will lead to success of the program.
The following initiative are targeted for the pilot release:
- Mini micro-finance loans for youth member's educational expense
- Annual camp meeting in Pakistan
- A group of student from US paired with Pakistan youth and an established cadence and relationship

What barriers might hinder the success of your project? How do you plan to overcome them?

Lack of funding and distance are two critical factor that may impact the success of the project. Also, an established online network for micro-finance loan visibility will help support project go from nascent to wider scale.

What is the benefit or value you're creating for your business?

Youth development, conflict resolution, building better relationship between Pakistan and US. Intellectually address core negativity and subsequent impact of terrorism on Pakistan society. Clarity, broader view, friendship.

How are you leveraging internal resources (funds, time, knowledge, etc.) to support this initiative?

Utilizing accenture network to better understand a well drafted Mini-micro loan model, utilizing change management knowledge to create Operational Matrix for a successful measure of the progress and launch.

Expand on your answer, explaining the long-term funding and support plan.

Long term funding and support include elaborate marketing strategy and seeking local and expatriate support. Grand market campaign in the form of fund-raising dinner and seeking federal program geared towards conflict resolution and country ties are in the game plan as well.

In addition, hope to launch a micro-finance strategy that will eventually morph into a self sustaining program will be beneficial.

Tell us about your partnerships across your company and externally that are key to your project's success.

Spreading word around in local expatriate community. Presenting ideas at my local corporate network. Leveraging help from other Social Enterprise pioneers (such as Acumenfund) fund raising and structural support.

What internal support have you gotten for your project? What kind of push-back have you received?

Since program has been in idea-stage..not push back has been received. Anticipate funding and publicity challenges if proper and defined business plan is not formulated. A challenge will be to establish this organization, as a viable and self-sustaining, social enterprise, and not just a profit venture.

ニーズ: あなたのソリューションのニーズと、働きかけるコミュニティの規模/活動について説明してください。

Veterans and their descendants represent nearly 1/3 of the total U.S. population, and yet only 8 million veterans currently access their benefits (Department of Veterans Affairs, 2010). At least 400,000 uniform record locators providing support and services are listed on the National Resource Directory. Veterans have a lot of information and services available, but no integration, and little consistency amongst them.

Moreover, since 1973, the policy of not drafting civilians contributes to a lack of national focus, and as a result, fewer Americans are taking an interest in our nation's safety. During World War II, 12% of the population fought in the war; 2% in Vietnam, and now less than 1% of Americans fight in today’s wars. (Harvard University, 2007). This lack of personal connection contributes to the overall problems our country faces.

ソリューション: ソリューションが提供する内容と、それがいかに革新的であるかを説明してください。そのソリューションを利用者または受益者に届ける方法を具体的に説明してください。

Veterans have a lot of information and services available, but no integration, and little consistency amongst them. The Frontlines (TF) filters these resources and tailors them to the individual needing assistance through use of a comprehensive database and our software. TF is the only dedicated social utility network that enhances communication and information for veterans by uniting these 400,000 record locators and organizations under one common operating system.

In addition, TF is building customized, state-approved, veteran-oriented history lessons for schools across America. Each lesson plan will entail each of our nation's wars and the overall concept that selfless service to nation is also service to oneself. These lessons will not glorify war, but instead focus on the personal stories of service, sacrifice, and commitment to one another. By bringing the stories and veterans to the classroom we seek not to promote military service, but rather make a personal connection with our nation’s youths that inspires selfless service in whatever avenue it manifests.

モデル: あなたのソリューションでは、どのように IT やメディアを利用して変化を起こすのか、具体例を挙げてください。

The Frontlines (TF) accomplishes our mission by providing customized resources, blog, forum, and personalized social networks so that users can interact with one another, and possibly connect with former service members. Additionally, TF encompasses all forms of storytelling by utilizing social media in order to allow individuals to share their stories through videos, pictures, letters, art, or songs. There is also the ability to post book, movie, and gear reviews of items of interest by those affiliated with the military.

The disconnect between resources and veterans prohibits those in need from gaining valuable information. “Today due in part to the surge in claims from Iraq/Afghan wars, VBA has a backlog of 400,000 claims. VBA now takes an average of 177 days (six months) to process an original claim, and an average of 657 days (nearly two years) to process an appeal” (The Long-term Costs of Providing Medical and Disability Benefits, 2007).

A mobile device application will extend the communications methods beyond The Frontlines website and allow veterans to access information from anywhere.

市場: あなたの仲間と競争相手について教えてください。

Nearly 400,000 resources are listed on the National Resource Directory, however, none of them are found and accessed under one umbrella until now. The Frontlines is the only dedicated social utility network that enhances communication and information for veterans by uniting the over 400,000 uniform record locators and organizations that support veterans under one common operating system.

In an effort to increase our services, we are grateful to Warrior Gateway who has given us 44,000 services and organizations as part of our growing database.

創設のストーリー: このアイデアを「ピン！」とひらめいたときの状況を教えてください。このソリューションについて、世界を変えることができるという可能性を見出した場所や時期を具体的に説明してください。

Serving our country for over 17 years has solidified my unwavering belief in selfless service. In addition, it has provided me insight between military and civilian cultural divides. I am continually reminded of our civic duty to care for those who have selflessly sacrificed for our country. Recently diagnosed with a recurrent medical condition, I have confronted the associated stigma of serving my nation within an altered capacity. I frequently travel to Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital. During one of these visits, I witnessed a soldier struggling to adjust his camouflaged backpack. This individual battled silently, without assistance, but instead with stares as he exited the medical hospital. This young soldier was a dual amputee, facing a military discharge, and forced to re-learn life without legs. This soldier inspired me to launch The Frontlines (TF) website.

現時点における、このソリューションの社会的なインパクトの深さと規模を具体的に示してください。

Since our November 11, 2010 launch, within the first 90 days I personally collected over 1,000 videos, art, audio, pictures and songs from a wide variety of sources and individuals, and posted them on The Frontlines website. My personal expenses to create, launch, and collect veteran and their family's stories has been $16,861 (as of February 26, 2011). In comparison, the Library of Congress which has an FY 2010 of $699.4 million (increase of $52.6 million, or 8.1% above FY 2009, p. b) and their Veteran History Project has “amassed approximately 60,000 collections” since October 27, 2000 but “with approximately 10 percent of collections digitized’ (Library of Congress, p. 210). While I applaud their efforts, it is my firm belief that in an era of fiscal responsibility we can do better.

By expanding the networking capability of the website to better facilitate communications between all veteran-related organizations at the federal, state, and local level, we plan to increase by 75% the number of veterans and their families that access the services of our website and the number of veteran “dossiers” by 90% by January 1, 2012. We also plan to partner with nonprofit organizations specifically serving the veteran community by 50% within two years, 75% within three years, and 90% within five years. Moreover, we plan to increase our web traffic steadily throughout the next five years eventually reaching at least 12,500,000 hits monthly by 2016.

In an effort to keep the service free to veterans and their families, The Frontlines has, thus far, been self-sustained by founder Nathan Tierney. As a community-oriented business, and not a non-profit, funding has been difficult to come by in the form of grants. Nathan is looking into either becoming a non-profit or selling the company if funding does not come through soon.

Nathan Tierney's passion for increasing civil activism and ownership will not be bound strictly to The Frontlines. The creation and maintenance of The Frontlines has only increased his fervor. The Frontlines may soon seek non-profit status or corporate buy-out. No matter what the form, The Frontlines is destined to meet the needs of veterans and their families for free for years down the road.

1. あなたの選択した計画を拡大させ、経済的に維持する方法を説明してください。

The Frontlines seeks to not be a mere tool or application but an ideal and a symbol from which others may be inspired toward selfless service. Expanding the role of The Frontlines beyond a content based storytelling website into a platform that provides resources and education is dependent upon our ability to develop innovative ways of empowering veterans and their families. To sustain the website we rely on Google Adsense and our affiliate with Amazon. These are influenced by the amount of traffic to The Frontlines.

あなたのパートナーシップについて教えてください:

Storytellers receive no money for their efforts. However, 100% of all donations made on The Frontlines is given directly to the nonprofit organizations Wounded Warrior Project, or The Fisher House. Future plans are to expand the choices of vetted nonprofits that support veterans and military families. Giving individuals the freedom to choose and donate to vetted nonprofits is essential in creating self governance.

Presently, we have interns and volunteers from Georgetown, Iowa, California, Tennessee, South Korea, Kentucky and elsewhere helping to spread the word about The Frontlines. These dedicated men and women are imprinted with a spirit of selfless service, leaders in encouraging active citizenship, community development, and are building social capital through their efforts on behalf of active duty, veterans, and military families. Through volunteer efforts we serve to enhance engagement and confidence between government, organizations and citizens.

AFTERSHOCK

What change do you want to bring to the world?

Public school design and methods were born during the Industrial Revolution. Working with students as if to be assembled in a uniformed process with little chance for customization. This factory design was to manufacture cars for the open road, in the classroom a potential for scrap.

This brought about private schools and drop out rate. In this model there is much to learn about the Single Passenger Vehicle & the Open Road. For 21st Century learner Single Passenger Vehicle = Mobile Technologies & Open Road = a FREE education repository of interactive materials.

I want to begin to create an education material repository of interactive STEM curriculum aligned to Common Core Standards preparing students to innovate, solve, and evolve our adaptation to world sustainability

What are the primary activities of your project?

The repository is already here with APPLE's iTune U, however the State of Michigan has launched MI Learning that host the 16 States' Clusters including the STEM cluster just waiting to be populated.

The primary activity is to continue the work already begun called the Workforce and Career Development section on MI Learning on iTune U, the only section of its kind on iTunes U. This request is to fund the STEM curriculum design called AFTERSHOCK.

AFTERSHOCK models the Southeastern Michigan community working with a large number education, industry, and government organizations to achieve STEM goals to better prepare middle and high schools students with mathematics and science in order to place in high tech jobs required by TARDEC and other engineering research, design and manufacturing in demand

The primary activity is to development STEM related content using podcasts, interactive PDF Portfolios, professional development for teachers supporting classroom deployment, and local robotic and science competitions.

We are requesting 30K of funding to create ten fully functional instructional unit plans with video media and interactive PDF Portfolios and use them to pilot the materials on MI Learning on iTunes U for in the classroom teacher led guided instruction as well as for those who are independent learners. With these results we will encourage TRADEC, the developer of the AFTERSHOCK trigger video to continue to support further development of instructional materials starting some time in 2012

Or 10K to accept and manage all other STEM instructional material formatted for iTunes to be locate in the STEM Career Cluster on

http://videos.wallstreetproductions.com/aftershock.html

watch the video for the story on the complete effort of many in Michigan

What is innovative about your initiative? How is it a new contribution to the field?

The innovation comes in the form of creating a FREE repository of interactive STEM curriculum aligned to Common Core Standards as they become implemented nationally.

Mathematics is the first of STEM to be applied via the AFTERSHOCK model. The model is using the dramatics media clip that later is deconstructed to reveal the STEM content that is everywhere. These trigger segment engage students and bring to life actual story problems that become the foundation of each learning event.

The instructional design targets mobile learning. The materials will make use of portable audio and video, as well as the text, graphic, 3D modeling environments, and assessments activities that can be delivered in a PFD format.

These materials will be designed to be used in the classroom to support instructor led activities or for student to download them for self study.

Tell us about the community that you engage? eg. economic conditions, political structures, norms and values, demographic trends, history, and experience with engagement efforts.

The Workforce and Career Development section on MI Learning on iTune U is now going into it 3rd year. The Workforce & Career Development averages 60-70% of the over 196,000 downloads each month based on Apple's June 11.

These results are due to the popular collection are created by that instructor and were designed to be used in their own classroom as assigned student activities. Base on the work being done by TARDEC and the STEM Community Outreach Programming to attract young creative engineering students the project will development STEM related content. These materials will be hosted of MI Learning on iTunes U from the STEM Career Clusters Icon.

This last year was spent on the coordination of the broader community’s involvement and in kind contributions to the project in the form of time and expertise to validate academic content.

Watch the video for the story on the multi point alignment and cooperation of the State of Michigan, and local County Intermediate Schools Districts, and organization readied to implement the material once they of developed by the executive production organization

Share the story of the founder and what inspired the founder to start this project

TARDEC was doing field trips for middle and high school students to inspire them to acquire skills in robotic and STEM technologies. When TARDEC wanted to expand its three day field trip event to other schools outside of Macomb County. There was no money for buses, substitute teachers, fuel etc. to do anything. The whole outreach effort of TARDEC stopped other than attending robotic events with booth space, I am the developer of the Workforce and Career Development section on MI Learning on iTunes and felt there was a eLearning solution. Using the STEM Career Cluster location was a prime location to populate with quality STEM content.

How do you plan to strengthen your project in the next three years?

Once the effort of a curriculum collective on MI Learning on iTunes U to support STEM Common Core Standards begins. I would think critical mass would kick in. Large-scale expansion will demonstrate a substantial difference from other projects in the field. This will be design as a national STEM content repository. Even if AFTERSHOCK 10 lesson pilot is not funded. Rather all other STEM content and programs get posted to the MI Learning STEM icon will ease the "discoverability" of the materials.

If AFTERSHOCK is funded will encourage TARDEC to be more involved in the STEM content development and this entry point of 10 sample mathematics lessons is to move ahead with materials to be used in and out of classroom focus groups to improve on the STEM deliverables.

Employment Generation in Insurgency Prone Area through Arecanut Leaf Plate Manufacturing Units

What change do you want to bring to the world?

Unemployment is the biggest problem that the youth in India faces today, and it also leads them towards anti-social activities. The way out is to promote self employment amongst the youth by encouraging and supporting them to set up their own micro enterprises. The core idea behind Dhriiti is the spirit of enterprise that we want to promote, introduce & inculcate. We realize the urgent need & potential that is present in the rural and semi urban communities in India. A potential which if exploited properly can yield tremendous results in the form of thousands of highly competitive small enterprises. Our attempt is to wed and juxtapose these potentials, to focus in the youth, & to promote small industries and its products in the light and benefits of modern tools of management & technology.

What are the primary activities of your project?

Unemployment has spread like a disease in the country effecting generations and a multi-dimensional approach is required to get rid of this. Firstly we have a preventive approach through an Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) which works with the youth in schools, colleges and non-formal education by introducing entrepreneurship as a respectable career option. Secondly through a Micro Enterprise Development and Management (MEDM) cell, we work on a curative approach of providing gainful employment options to the presently unemployed youth in the country through development of micro-enterprise value chains. Lastly we provide a conducive and supportive environment to the existing entrepreneurial youth through a Research and Facilitation Cell (RFC), enabling the entrepreneurs to grow at a faster pace.

In its endeavour to address the unemployment problem in North East the MEDM division started with it’s first project of promoting arecanut leaf plate manufacturing in the states of Assam and Meghalaya in January 2005. MEDM is working to set up small manufacturing units of disposable plates and bowls made from Arecanut sheaths throughout Assam and in parts of Meghalaya. Dhriiti will support young individuals or groups to set up arecanut leaf plate manufacturing units in this region. According to our estimation more than 3000 small production units can be established in rural North East even if only 30% of the available raw material can be tapped. These 3000 units can generate a business of more than 100 crores in these areas and generate employment for around 1 lakh youth.

What is innovative about your initiative? How is it a new contribution to the field?

1.Product in itself is very innovative - Bio-degradable & Compostable, Hygienic & Chemical free, Natural & Attractive appearance, Can be used in buffet parties, Liquid holding capacity, Microwave safe
2.Project conceptualized with multiple bottom lines of generating employment, reducing anti-social activities, generating profits and improving the environment.
3.Attracting external money into the village economy by using a waste material, which also leads to money multiplier
4.Activity has contra-variant risk vis-à-vis traditional activities, thus enables the communities to reduce their livelihood risks
5.Technology innovations like – LPG based machines to enable production without electricity; solution for fungus problem through process control without using chemicals; low cost bio mass based non electrified dryer which uses the production waste to dry the raw material and reduce the dependancy on sunlight; - have enabled to reduce the production risks by 90% for the rural producers.
6.MEDM’s unique implementation strategy deals with all aspects – technology, capacity building, finance, markets and institutions.
7.Creation of separate institution, Tamul Plates Marketing Private Limited (TPMC), which provides 100% buy back guarantee to all producers and ensures constant market to the producers.
8.TPMC shareholding pattern gives opportunity to both producers and implementers to invest and thereby bringing in the positives of models like Cooperative, producer company, private limited company, ESOPS etc. It also increases the stake of the implementers.

What stage is your project in?

5 年超

Tell us about the community that you engage? eg. economic conditions, political structures, norms and values, demographic trends, history, and experience with engagement efforts.

The project is being implemented amongst rural communities of Assam & Meghalaya. The characteristics of the community are as follows:
1.The communities residing in these locations are mostly Assamese, Muslims and Tribals (Bodo, Rabha, Garo, Khasi etc.)
2.Their primary source of livelihood is agriculture. Mostly it is traditional agriculture and they take only a single crop due to flood problems. The soil being fertile they don’t have high food security problems but their cash incomes are very low.
3.The infrastructure is very weak in most of the places. There is no electricity and most of the roads are also cut off during monsoons.
4.Education level is good in most of the places but the youth do not want to go back to agriculture after the education. Other sources of employment being very poor, most of the youth is thus attracted towards anti-social elements.
5.Most of the areas are also very interior areas and are thus prone to a lot of insurgency activities. This also dissuades private industries from engaging in these areas.
6.Their exposure of the external world is also very low. They are also not exposed to the concept of entrepreneurship. Thus it is a challenging task to engage them in an entrepreneurial activity.
7.It is also easy to mobilise these communities through the push of welfare mode but attracting the community through the pull of entrepreneurial and economic activities is a difficult task. We are still trying to learn that art.

Share the story of the founder and what inspired the founder to start this project

It was in the winters of 2004 that 3 young MBA students Anirban, Nidhi & Arindam got together to work towards the goal of inspiring and motivating youth of India, to take a leap and convert their thoughts into actions. It was the drive of their dream to bring a positive change in the society that motivated them to shun lucrative offers from top companies to start a venture of their dreams with a vision of changing the attitude of the young generation from ‘THEY (government, parents, etc.) haven’t provided for us’ to ‘WE will do it ourselves’.

Aged 31 today, Arindam was born in the steel city of Jamshedpur, where he did his schooling from Loyola School. He graduated in commerce from SRCC, New Delhi and then worked for a year in CII. His adventurous side then attracted him towards IRMA where he experienced many facets of rural India for the first time and also did his PG Diploma in Rural Management. The dreams that he saw in IRMA resulted in the creation of Dhriiti and there has been no looking back since then.

He heads the MEDM wing of Dhriiti and leads a very young team in an insurgency affected state with a vision to channelize the energies of the youth in the region into economically productive activities. His motivation is quite simple - to see a developed India, the vision set by our ex-President Mr. Kalam. He enjoys the challenges of this work, which drives him towards innovative initiatives. He is one of those crazy people who really feel that they can change this world to better place.

This Entry is about (Issues)

Please describe how your project has been successful and how that success is measured

Over the last 6 years Dhriiti has been promoting arecanut leaf plate manufacturing amongst the rural communities of Assam and other North Eastern states. During this time period we have built this whole sub-sector from scratch in this region to a position where not only the community views it as a viable livelihood option but also being recognized by the government, financial institutions and other big players in the development sector. The success of the initiative can be viewed through the following outcomes:
1.Created an industry out of a waste material
2.Established more than 70 manufacturing units till now and every week we are adding new units
3.Today more than 2000 people are engaged in this activity throughout the region
4.Establishing and operating TPMC for 4 years in a completely commercial manner without any grant support shows the sustainability of the initiative. Today TPMC has taken over around 60% of the activities of the project and by the end of this financial year Dhriiti’s support will no longer be required.
5.Initially Dhriiti was the only institution engaged in this activity. Today it has been mainstreamed and many agencies are joining the bandwagon. The state government has come up with a scheme to support the arecanut leaf plate entrepreneurs, the banks are financing units without our involvement, other big NGOs of this region have started providing training for this initiative.
6.We have reached a phase where we need not push this activity into the community any more. People are approaching us for trainings and machines and are even ready to pay for the training. These are the biggest signs of success.
7.We have been able to create a vibrant market for the product which is always 5 times more than the production. Our customers have stuck to us and are constantly giving us repeat orders of larger volumes.

How will your project evolve over the next three years?

We are in the final phase of this initiative where we are commercializing every aspect of the programme so that it can be a completely sustainable initiative without the involvement of Dhriiti. Already production and marketing is completely handled by the rural producers and TPMC. In order to upscale the operations of TPMC the producers and employees raised equity of 10 lakhs last year and presently we are moving ahead to raise a loan of 40 lakhs. The specific plans for the next 3 years are as follows:
1.Improve TPMC capital base, infrastructure, internal systems and strengthen the institutional procedures
2.Expand the project from lower Assam to across Assam & Meghalaya
3.Build a proper brand and get into the Export Market and more lucrative Indian markets

What barriers might hinder the success of your project and how do you plan to overcome them?

The major challenges that we have been facing throughout and will face in future also are as follows:
1.Lack of adequate funds
2.Problem of insurgency in most of the areas we are working in.
3.Poor infrastructure
4.Increasing the volumes of production
5.Entrepreneurial attitude of the communities

As the activity deals with new skills and technologies, modern markets and a resource which even though being local is not perceived as a resource, people have always taken it as risky. Thus it has been always difficult raise adequate funds at the right time for the project. The strategy for funds have been first through own investment, then friends and family, then small institutional funds and lastly followed by large institutional funding. During the last 5 years which was mostly grants for Dhriiti, apart from the bank loans for setting up the units, the process was same. Even now we have taken the same route for TPMC. Started with equity, then loans from friends and family and will follow with the institutional formats after we create a solid foundation.

Community being in the core of our process, we have been able to avoid the insurgency till now and have been able to work in very interior areas. Thus as long as we are able to generate value for the community we would be able to overcome this problem even if scale increases.

Appropriate technology is the key to overcoming infrastructure barriers and so far we have been very good at it and hope to continue with it.

The last two have been herculean tasks so far but one has to be patient as these cannot be done overnight. The hardwork of the past few years have created a strong base, which has resulted in the first set of successful entrepreneurs. Thus we no longer have to prove theoretically that the activity is viable but there are live examples, which has generated the required momentum now.

あなたのパートナーシップについて教えてください:

Partnerships have been at the core of our implementation strategy. It has been led by the very unique partnership of rural producers, Dhriiti and TPMC. Each have played a critical role in making this project a success. Apart from that we have had strong partnerships with the following:

1.Funding agencies like Sir Dorabjee Tata Trust (SDTT), NABARD, Friends for Women’s World Banking (FWWB), Ministry of Panchayati Raj, Govt. Of India (MoPR) who have not only helped Dhriiti with funds but also invested in strengthening our organisation.
2.Collaboration with multiple commercial banks (SBI, Union Bank, UCO Bank etc.) and Khadi Village Industries Commission (KVIC) have enabled to us to source loans for the units promoted so far.
3.Partnerships with various other local NGOs (ANT, RGVN, MRDS, CML etc.) and government agencies like District Industries and Commerce Centre (DICC), District Rural Development Agency (DRDA), Bodoland Territorial Council etc. have helped us promote the project across the region.
4.There has been strong collaboration with Sandhya Engineering Concern, not only for developing new machines but also in supplying machines to the producers.
5.There has been close and continuous relationships with our customers, who have been regularly buying our products and giving us critical market feedback.

Apart from this there have been various well wishers (individuals, groups, friends, family) who have helped and supported us right from the inception of the project. Though they are invisible to the external world yet they form a very formidable support group for us whom we can fall back on whenever required.

Current annual budget of project, in US dollars

100,001～250,000

Explain your selections

Financial support to Dhriiti and TPMC has been from Friends & Family, Foundations, Banks and Governments. But at the implementation level many NGO partners, government departments and other local institutions have supported us to ground and spread this project across the region. Our customers and suppliers have also invested in us in non-monetary ways to improve our product quality and service. But our biggest support group has been our own team (others) of young people of this region. The team on many occasions have stuck together and have performed tasks much beyond their reach. Thus we are very confident of achieving our goals despite many obstacles.

We have interpreted this question in terms of overall support and not only financial support. We do not believe that finance is the most important aspect for any entrepreneurial venture. If it had been true then niether Dhriiti nor TPMC would have been in existence today as we never had good amounts of finance of our own and neither we had access to finance before we engaged in these activities. It has been our team work which has made us stick together, survive and grow for all these years.

How do you plan to strengthen your project in the next three years?

It has been a very valuable learning experience for Dhriiti & TPMC over the last 6 years. We have realized that implementation of a enterprise development project is just not about creating a value chain but to simplify the process for each and every stakeholder in the value chain and creating a win-win relationship between all the stakeholders. We have successfully created this relationship, but what needs to be done hereafter is to strengthen this relationship both in terms of quantity and quality. We are committed to our vision of creating a 20 million USD arecanut leaf plate industry for rural North East. The specific areas of strengthening are as follows:
1.Improve capacities of TPMC staff, so that they can cater to the markets in a more efficient way.
2.Regular quality certifications and other certifications like Fair Trade.
3.Establish modern packaging and UV based quality control system.
4.Diversify in national markets and get into export market. This will enable us to get into high margin markets and also spread our market risks.
5.Provide one stop shop to all producers for machines, working capital loans, capacity building, product buy back, machine repairing etc. TPMC already provides these services but needs to be more efficient and streamlined so that the large scale expansion can happen much faster.
6.Strengthen the institutional systems by creating real time systems which will educate the producers and other stakeholders more and will enable us to be more transparent.

PRIMARY

Underemployment

SECONDARY

Lack of skills/training

TERTIARY

Other (Specify Below)

Please describe how your innovation specifically tackles the barriers listed above.

Each arecanut leaf plate unit creates regular employment for 40-50 rural youth.

We have developed a highly interactive training programme (6 day residential training package) for imparting all the soft, functional, entrepreneurial and technical skills required to operate an arecanut leaf plate unit. This is followed by regular refresher trainings.

Others - Access to appropriate technology. Over the years our team has worked on various low cost technologies which has made the production process simpler and have reduced the production risks. Many of the technologies can be used in other rural enterprises. These can be also made available locally easily.

Are you trying to scale your organization or initiative?
If yes, please check up to three potential pathways in order of relevancy to you.

PRIMARY

Grown geographic reach: Within host country

SECONDARY

Enhanced existing impact through addition of complementary services

TERTIARY

Leveraged technology

Please describe which of your growth activities are current or planned for the immediate future.

We are presently working on all the 3 pathways. We are trying to upscale the initiative across North East India. This is being done directly by us and also through collaboration with various government, non-government and business institutions. The expansion is also being spearheaded by TPMC in a commercial manner so that it is sustainable.

We are trying to provide a package of services which includes finance, marketing, trainings and technical services through TPMC. It enables existing entrepreneurs to grow at a faster rate and also to spread the activity in other areas.

The streamlined production technology is being already levereged to improve the existing rural producers and also set up new units. We are also working on IT based system so that the expansion is smooth.

Do you collaborate with any of the following: (Check all that apply)

政府機関, Technology providers, NGOs/Nonprofits, For profit companies.

If yes, how have these collaborations helped your innovation to succeed?

Collaborations have been critical element in the success of the initiative. To take an example, Sandhya Engineering Concern have been working like an extended arm of our technical team for the last 5 years not only in developing new machines but also supplying them. They visit the producers regularly, understand their needs and then develop low cost technical solutions in collaboration with us. Similarly we have been working with many NGOs, govt. Departments, banks etc. in spreading awareness amongst communities, accessing finance etc. Our core team small, but collaborations have enabled us spread our reach. It is a core strategy and with win-win approach we have able enhance our implementation quality.

What stage is your project in?

Idea phase

What makes your project unique as it relates to the theme of this competition?

our project is useful for third world countries in building sustainable urban houses. It includes:1.ENERGY CONSUMPTION:Reduced energy consumption = reduced green house gas emissions = reduced operational costs for the data center and business.2.ENERGY EFFICIENCY:To make this development eco-friendly,we approached energy efficiency in three ways:first, conservation through efficient insulation;second,re-use by converting Kinetic energy into electrical energy ;third,clean energy production through the use of photovoltaic cells and wind turbines.3.House Insulation is the most important of all energy conservation measures because it has the greatest impact on energy expenditure.4.POWER SAVING:
The name comes from the term "zero energy",which is defined as a building that creates as much energy as it uses.A zero-energy building is the result of a multi-disciplined effort and appropriately symbolizes the company’s integrated design philosophy and approach.5.ECO MATERIALS:Loft Insulation, Rafter Insulation, Cavity Wall Insulation, Suspended Timber Ground Floors, Solid Ground Floors and more.The Low Energy Technology featured includes: Sun Tube Lights, Rainwater Harvesting, Insulating Concrete Blocks and more.thus using all these techniques an energy efficient housing plan can be made.6. How green spaces in the midst of cities help us: Green spaces in the midst of urban areas helps us in two ways- firstly the social aspect of places to relax,walk and sports and secondly the environmental aspect.Thus this paper describes some basic criteria of having a sustainable house.

Share the story of the founder and what inspired the founder to start this project

The basic idea of the project was mine when I saw the climate of the place where I m now studing has changed in the past 3 years from cold to hot. Every time I use water for washing purposes I remember an advertisement I saw at Indian television that there are some areas in India where people die for one drop of water. The day we stop wasting the energy resources we will suceed in building a better environment. I saw this competition in ashoka changemakers and decided to enter it,although I am studying and not from any organisation I am very keen to do something for my environment.. I love green and always will try to make my country green.i am trying to do my bit. I want that like US and other countries our country’s govt. must come forward for these kind of things not only the NGO’s but especially the government.

What makes your idea unique?

If we take a look around us, we easily can easily realize that what’s happening. People are fighting against each other over religion, language, land and cultures which are actually symbols of identification but now these became symbols of hater and conflict.
Growing generations are feeling guilty to be indigenous of this world. What happened in Europe, Rwanda, Uganda, Lebanon, Bosnia, Afghanistan, and what happening in Palestine, Kashmir, Pakistan, Iraq, Somalia, Thai Land and most of African States

What we are giving them?
War, genocides, killing, hater?
Yes, we are promoting hate among each other.

Most of people (Politicians, so called Leaders etc) talk about necessity of peace and love but just in meetings, seminars and for publicity purpose only. Nothing at ground that actually address to resolve this common problem which makes world so insecure, complex and hated.

An idea to promote peace and unit different groups and communities of N.W.F.P who are having conflicts among each others through Football is not very known step but it would be a very useful for the purpose of developing peace in conflicted areas through arrangement to football matches among them and to unit them as a team beyond their groups.

What impact have you had?

Children are usually among the most innocent affected community of wars and conflicts. In Sawat Conflict millions of this innocent faces displaced and have been badly suffered by the war traumas.

Vertical Walks had different trauma releasing games and sessions there at Child Friendly Center. Scared and insecure children came our center hesitantly first but after one day they felt very peaceful and secure with us.
That was a major achievement we had as to bring smile at innocent and harmless creation of GOD.

Problem

The major problems were,

People were so scared and not used to such activities which we launched.

Due to huge number of IDPs, it was very difficult to entertain all children at limited place we had there.

Financial resources were very limited as we had contributions from our friends only.

Lake of security of CFC.

Actions

At first phase we launched awareness campaign there about our project.

We targeted children of specific age of years 7 to 10.

We limited ourselves to such extent by which we provided basic and common facilities there at CFC.

We hired a security guard there through advocacy with government management.

Results

Perfect!!!

We did what no one from us were expecting. Entertain more then 200 children (We had idea of 50 only). In such limited financial and human resources, it was a great achievement which was acknowledged by many organization there and by government as well.

What will it take for your project to be successful over the next three years? Please address each year separately, if possible.

Actually that was a short term project for IDPs camp only which remained there for three to four months. But plan is to implement such CFCs inside conflicted areas now.
We will require very committed and dedicated volunteers team which we are having.

Enough Financial resources

Support from government and other national & international agencies.

What would prevent your project from being a success?

Easy access to the field due to conflicts.

Lake of education and awareness among targeted people.

Limitations of financial resources.

What makes your idea unique?

Reduce violence through football is a unique idea in Pakistan. Often football is played for football. It is not used as an instrument to achieve such noble goal of peace and non violence. Youth likes thrill and sensational events. In NWFP people love football. On contrary they are facing worst kind of violence in which youth has been recurited as a taliban to do suicide attacks. Football is acceptable. To link football with violence and enhance their understanding towards peacefull initiative is a unique idea.
On the other hand, people are afraid to visit war torn tourist spots in SWAT, Kalam etc. The hotel industry required such initatives to promote their business and gives impressions to the towards that things are normal. The local people have already shown their keen interest to collaborate for this initiatives. EVen Pakistani Army is interested to support such idea because they are interested to rehabilitate the people and bring national normal.

I have two sons study in private school in Lahore. One day i was going with them to leave them in their school. The school was closed. The chowkidar informed us that due to threat from suicide bomber all private and government schools have been closed. I was shocked by the idea of suicide attacks in kindergarten schools.
Many months i was uncomfortable in my office. I try to call several times at home to confirm is everything OK. Daily we listen about suicide attacks in different places. It has horrified us. I wanted to do something positive, non violent. therefore, i have worked with Punjab Football association and organization two tournaments under this idea. Few months ago i went to SWAT. It is beautiful valley. I was supposed to conduct training on, "Youth Development and Life Skills through Sports" in which several coaches participated. they told different miserable and painful stories of Taliban. they showed different beautiful resturants, hotels and picknic sports empty. Hotels are theire but visitors are absent. tourist industry has collapsed. In last day we promosed to do something to recover it. We decided to organized , Stop Violence: Play Football tournament in SWAT to give impression to the world that it is safe and normal.

Tell us about the social innovator behind this idea.

My twenty years working experience in development sector and as university level football players help me to conceive it.

What makes your idea unique?

There are 3 elements of the 5-day WYPS that mark it as being unique: 1) We believe that well-intentioned, motivated people, irrespective of age and who are committed to the concepts of peace and social entrepreneurism/justice, can be taught how to develop and implement projects that realize their aforementioned commitments. Working closely with distinguished members of the UConn faculty, the WYPS will provide participants with a practical, 2-course curriculum, that will enable each of them to make a positive difference in their home communities through the development of their personal Pathways to Peace initiatives. The curriculum will be supplemented by information provided through lectures by some of the best thinkers and leaders in the field of peace studies and social entrepreneurism; 2) A permanent Office of Social Entrepreneurism (OSE) will result from the WYPS. The OSE will exist to provide support to WYPS participants, to develop new resources to enhance current and future peace projects, to sponsor programs and speakers on site and via the Internet related to peace and social entreprneurism, and to serve as the site for ongoing research that will be conducted; and 3) A commitment to empirical, longitudinal research which focuses first on assessing the quality of the WYPS experience and then begins to assess the efficacy of the curriculum with regard to the successful implementation of the Pathways to Peace initiatives. Having this information will be invaluable in instituting improvements of future WYPS, scheduled to occur every 5 years.

This Entry is about (Issues)

What impact have you had?

Over the course of 23 years, the Institute for International Sport (IIS) has sponsored 4 World Scholar Athlete/Artist Games (WSAG) in the United States as well as similarly themed games in Ireland/Northern Ireland (2), the Middle East, and Australia. The theme of these Games has been to promote international/cultural understanding through athletic competition and involvement in the fine and performing arts. Approximately 15,000 young people (ages 15-19) representing more than 160 nations, have participated in these Games. At each Games, participants were urged by Founder and Executive Director Dan Doyle to return to their communities/countries and be active advocates for peace and social justice and were told that they would be invited back to attend a world peace summit coinciding with the celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the IIS. The World Youth Peace Summit in 2011 represents the fulfillment of Mr. Doyle's promise. Three examples of how Mr. Doyle's programs have impacted participants' lives reinforce the potential for the much greater impact the WYPS will exert: 1) a story of a female Mexican WSAG participant who returned to her home town to raise money to create a fund that defrayed medical expenses associated with doing cochlear implants; 2) the tale of local fundraising done in Northern Ireland, inspired by the Northern Ireland (Belfast) Scholar-Athlete/Artist Games, to construct an athletic facility that allowed Catholic and Protestant youths to peacefully compete in basketball and other court-based sports; and 3) the story of a young Sierra Leonian man who raised funds to purchase soccer balls for the local youth soccer league in his home town.

Problem

Never before has there been a greater need for understanding and united action to reduce conflicts that abound between people from different nations and different cultures. The list of causes for conflict are many: growing economic disparity between nations, widespread international poverty, centuries-long hatreds that exist between people of different religions, the scarcity of natural resources due to the challenges of global warming, the spread of deadly diseases due to poor health conditions, and the lack of access to modern medicine to identify only a few. Even with the intervention of GOs and NGOs, the problems persist. We believe that insufficient attention and resources have been devoted to empowering the millions of young people around the globe. By nurturing their passion and by harnessing their intelligence, their ideas, and their commitment to setting and achieving lofty goals that will improve the condition of the world they have inherited/will inherit, we believe that bona fide progress can be made in these and other important areas.

Actions

Our success depends on 4 elements: 1) establishing partnerships with organizations who can nominate Summit participants. We have/will establish partnerships with groups like the UN, Peace Corps, Rotary International, Ambassadorial and Congressional delegations, the Nat'l Ass'ns of Superintendants, Independent Schools, and HS Scholars. We also have developed a full-time staff position-Director of Partnerships-and allocated another person to assist the Director in developing these relationships; 2) our ability to raise funds to underwrite WYPS costs not covered by revenues from ticket sales and sponsorships. We aggressively are seeking funding from Federal and State (CT) sources and pursuing support from private funding sources; and 3) our ability to establish relationships with local, regional and national media. We have secured the support of the local NBC TV affiliate and a local radio station with the largest statewide listening audience. In the near future, we intend to secure national media coverage; and 4) the development of a curriculum than converts theory into thousands of practical Pathways to Peace initiatives.

Results

Early expressions of interest in the WYPS suggest that we will succeed in having 12,000+ participants, 3,000 of whom will come from the 2011 WSAGs that immediately precede the Summit. Beyond ensuring optimal attendance levels, we expect: 1) thousands of participants to leave the Summit with well-designed, structured peace/social justice plans; 2) to open a permanent Office of Social Entrepreneurism guaranteeing support for the aforementioned peace advocates; 3) to have developed instruments for gathering data and measuring the success of the WYPS and the efficacy of the curriculum and its eventual success in the implementation and results achieved by the individual peace plans; and 4) to have begun the process of identifying potential sites for the 2016 WYPS.

What will it take for your project to be successful over the next three years? Please address each year separately, if possible.

Jun 2010-Jun/Jul 2011: In the months leading up to the World Youth Peace Summit, it will be important for us to continue laying the foundation that ensures the success of the event. This means securing the level of funding required 1) to support the hiring of a first-rate leadership team; 2) to permit the ongoing development of a sophisticated office infrastructure, and 3)to underwrite the costs to market and run programs leading up to the Summit. With regard to #1, in a program whose success depends heavily on the development of relationships, identifying and hiring the very best members of the WYPS team is our highest priority. Anticipating dealing with needs of more than 12,000 participants, it is crucial that we assmble a team that is highly competent, but also committed to the mission of the Summit; with regard to #2, ensuring that a professional staff has access to the latest technology and materials to communicate with prospective attendees, donors, and each other, is able to travel to make direct contact with organizations and associations with whom we seek to partner, and has sufficient resources available to market and advertise not only the Summit but many of the planned preliminary events (i.e, peace walks throughout the US and around the world), peace lectures (by world renowned speakers like Elie Wiesel, Gen. Colin Powell, and Bill Clinton), and peace concerts.
Jul 2011-Jun 2013: In the two years following the 2011 Summit, it will be necessary to continue aggressively fundraising to ensure the financial stability and future of the Office of Social Entrepreneurism (OSE). This will involve raising funds to endow the OSE and to fund costs associated with ongoing longitudinal research and the expansion of programs.

What would prevent your project from being a success?

The major obstacle in the way of achieving the certain success of the WYPS would be lack of funding to support our efforts. While we are prepared to recalibrate our goals and objectives based on financial realities, we believe that lowering our expectations, given the needs of the world to have as many active advocates for world peace and social justice as we can, would mark our efforts as being less than successful.

Please tell us more about how these partnerships are critical to the success of your innovation.

As stated in the Impact section of this grant proposal, our ability to establish and nurture relationships with organizations like the Peace Corps, the United Nations, Rotary International, Embassies, Congressional Offices, educational and athletic organizations and associations at the secondary and collegiate levels, and cultural (music and fine art) organizations are critical to the success of our efforts, not only in 2011, but also every five years in which World Youth Peace Summits are held. It is important to note that we already are engaged in preliminary discussions with other cities in the United States who have expressed interest in hosting the 2016 World Youth Peace Summit and the 2005 World Scholar Athlete Games. As a result, we expect to sustain the relationships that we have developed/will be developing for the 2011 Summit for future Summits. We are excited about the potential of these relationships in serving as breeding grounds for new initiatives we might develop.

What are the three most important actions needed to grow your initiative or organization?

1) It is critical that we ensure continuity of leadership in key positions of the organization and that we be prepared to have a system in place that identifies, recruits, hires, and retains future generations of leaders. In addition to being committed to and passionate about our mission, these leaders must possess an innate interest in addressing the problems of a current world and be sufficiently visionary amd entrepreneurial to anticipate needs and problems still to be defined. They must be highly motivated and organized and be able to transfer their knowledge and passion to others in ways that inspire and motivate them.

2)We must continue to aggressively raise funds not only to address the more immediate operational needs, but also to ensure the long-term financial stability of the organization. The focus of this latter effort needs to address the matter of creating an endowment. As we all have learned from the most recent world recession, preparing for "lean" economic times is crucial to the survival of organizations, particularly smaller operations, and is, we believe, an overt manifestation of the quality of the organization.

3) In an environment in which the uses of increasingly sophisticated technology expand exponentially, we must be constantly vigilant to understand the significance of the point of intersection between technology and responsible communication if we are to multiply the impact and extend the influence of our work in the development of new initiatives, in maintaining relationships with past and current peace advocates, and in developing future spokespersons for peace and social justice.

What was the defining moment that led you to this innovation?

The Institute for International Sport was founded in 1986 by Daniel E. Doyle, Jr. The basic concept of the Institute was rooted in Doyle's overseas experiences in the 60's and 70's. While traveling in Europe as a prep school basketball player in 1968, and visiting Cuba as the head men's basketball coach of Trinity College in 1979, Doyle saw the power of sport as a medium to foster friendship and goodwill.

As a student at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, Doyle drafted a position paper that outlined what is now the Institute for International Sport (IIS). After sharing his idea with several universities, including the University of Rhode Island (URI), Doyle convinced then URI president Edward D. Eddy and then Rhode Island Governor Edward DiPrete that URI should be the home of the Institute. On July 1, 1986 the IIS officially opened in a one-room office and Doyle's dream became a reality.

As it approaches its 25th anniversary on July 1, 2011, the Institute for International Sport remains guided by international leaders in the academic, business, government and athletic communities. The IIS has fostered an extraordinary number of global friendships through sport, culture and education, connecting tens of thousands of people.

The actualization and fulfillment of Mr. Doyle's plan is the World Youth Peace Summit--2011.

Tell us about the social innovator behind this idea.

The social innovator behind this idea is Daniel E. Doyle, Jr., the Founder and Executive Director of the Institute for International Sport and the President and Chief Executive Officer of the World Youth Peace Summit.

Mr. Doyle graduated from Bates College where he was co-captain of the men’s varsity basketball team. Mr. Doyle also served as a Trustee at Bates College. He is a graduate of the Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy at Tufts University. Mr. Doyle holds two honorary doctorates for his work in sports education.

Mr. Doyle was a highly successful men’s basketball coach, winning more than 75%76% of the games he coached. In his final season at Trinity College, he was named New England College Coach of the Year. The Sporting News named him as one of the most influential people in American sport. Mr. Doyle has lectured at over 100 colleges and universities on behalf of the NCAA Foundation.

Mr. Doyle is the author of the acclaimed novel "Are You Watching, Adolph Rupp?" The novel was favorably reviewed in over 50 publications, including famed author James Michener. Mr. Doyle also wrote "The Encyclopedia of Sports Parenting", which was placed into nomination for a Pulitzer Prize by a distinguished group of educators, authors and physicians. The "Encyclopedia of Sports Parenting" has already won two major book awards. Mr. Doyle is a regular guest on ESPN’s Outside The Lines program, as well as other programs on CNN, Fox News, ABC and WFAN.

Mr. Doyle founded the Institute for International Sport in 1986 at the University of Rhode Island. The Institute is now considered by many to be the foremost sports education initiative in the world. Among the programs Mr. Doyle conceived at the Institute are National Sportsmanship Day, the World Scholar-Athlete Games, the US Scholar-Athlete Games, and the RI Scholar-Athlete Games.

Mr. Doyle and the Institute’s most ambitious program, the 2011 World Youth Peace Summit, will be held in Connecticut in the summer of 2011, with the University of Connecticut serving as the host institution. This Summit will bring together as many as 15,000 Scholar-Athlete Games graduates in a compelling program that will result in thousands of peace initiatives being implemented throughout the world.

Dr. Richard Lapchick, one our nation’s leading sports educators, has remarked, “Dan Doyle continues to do the most amazing work I know of in the world of sport. The sheer magnitude and depth of the programs Dan has put out and the writings he has produced have made a greater contribution to the world of sport than anybody I can think of.” General Colin Powell recently made the statement: “Dan Doyle and his team are on an historic mission toward world peace.”

Mr. Doyle has received numerous awards, including induction into the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame and being awarded the prestigious Terence Cardinal Cooke Humanitarian Award in June 2009. Mr. Doyle lives in West Hartford, Connecticut, with his wife, Katherine. Mr. and Mrs. Doyle are the parents of six children, Daniel III, Matthew, Andrew, Margaret, Caroline and Julie.

ANGELS OF CHANGE: A Positive Deviant/Hearth Approach to Maternal Health

Country your work focuses on

Tanzania

Describe Your Idea

INTRODUCTION
In this world, every minute one woman dies of pregnancy or birth related complications. WHO defines maternal death as: death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and site of pregnancy from cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management, but not from accidental or incidental causes. Perinatal death means death of a fetus from 28 weeks of gestation to seven complete days of life including stillbirths. The perinatal mortality; is a sensitive indicator of health status of women, the health of the newborn and quality of health care provided during perinatal period especially delivery and immediate postnatal period. According to TDHS 2004/5,there is high antenatal care coverage- 94% at least one visit; 62% makes four or more visits yet the maternal mortality ratio is still high- 578/100,000 live births and under 5 mortality rate = 112/1000 live births.
Tanzania is amongst countries with very high number of maternal deaths in the world, the high maternal and newborn mortality constitute a silent emergency in Africa, (WHO, 2004) .Two decades after safe motherhood initiative (SMI); the maternal and perinatal mortality levels have sadly continued to rise instead of declining. Health indicators are not improving which may be attributed by poor quality of health services provided (reproductive and child health survey, 1999; TDHS, 2004/5).Poverty, social exclusion, low levels of education and women violence/abuse are amongst the contributing factors.
ANGELS OF CHANGE
Angels of Change is an entry point to prevent maternal deaths using the Positive Deviant/Hearth Approach. Angels of Change is an Idea of intensive behavior change Intervention targeting Mothers of Childbearing age and Pregnant mothers who at risk of maternal complications. It is derived from the fact that despite of all of the above factors contributing to the high Maternal mortality in Tanzania, one thing is evident, that there are a number of women who has never experienced Pre, intra and post delivery complications within our communities under the same resources, these mothers has been able to explore the environment and make use of the available resources while others are not able to do that, these are the one I call the Positive Deviants or The Angels of Change. Through identifying these Positive Deviant Mothers and Using the Community Based Hearth Session Approach, women of Childbearing age and Pregnant women can be brought together to share the Positive Deviant behaviors practiced by Positive Deviant Mothers. Different issues involving locally-discovered positive deviant practices as well as promote other practices essential to healthy living. Hearth sessions incorporate a number of approaches for behavior change including identification of Angels of change in a community, peer to peer support, Mother Dialogues, counseling, negotiation, Adult learning principles, skills building, motivation through visible practices and Women mobilization. Family planning, prevention of unwanted and high risk pregnancies, ensure skilled care during childbirth; ensure access to quality emergency care when a complication arises are among the topics during Hearth sessions.
It involves learning what these Role Models (Angels of Change) has been doing to promote their socially and communally acceptable behaviors and practices promoting good maternal health, HIV/AIDS Prevention and Health care utilization and promoting these practices to be adopted by other mothers. The Hearth part of Angels of Change idea using a PD approach is an intensive behavior change Intervention targeting mothers at risk of maternal Complications.
Sites of implementation including selection of places where majority of Youths are found/lives/work in relatively close proximity, where there are a significant number of risk behaviors.
Angels of Change will be identified though Initial dialogue with respective mother’s groups in a particular community/Institution through peer voting systems especially during antenatal visits. The respective group, guided by Community health workers will anonymously select an Angels of Change with positive deviant behaviors and practices communally acceptable which promotes good maternal health using a special tool. Our Health Volunteer(s) together with the selected Angels of Change will facilitate a mothers Conversation process to discover behaviors and Practices depicted by a selected Role Model and the Group will set up Action Plan. The selected Role Model will trained on facilitation skills and be responsible to conduct Hearth Sessions with Material support provided. She will also be Our contact person in a Particular group observing how peers are adopting her/his practice and behaviors and recommending the way forward. The project will facilitate group meeting at least twice a month and Group learning visits to other successful group with the same socio-economical circumstances. Each group will have a chairperson, Secretary, one Angel of Change and one guardian, teachers/ a community member identified by the group will serve as Guardians. Our Health volunteers will be conducting regular supportive visits to respective group(s) and Provide Monthly report.

What makes your idea unique?

The Positive Deviance (PD) process identifies acceptable, effective and sustainable practices that are already used by at-risk mothers and that do not conflict with local culture. Through learning what their peers with equally limited resources and risk situations are doing to promote maternal Health, Mothers are then empowered through Hearth Sessions to adopt better practices and behaviors even in areas with very limited access to health information and services. It is, in essence, it is a “mop-up” program to eliminate the pool of maternal Complications among women of Childbearing age and Pregnant women , not only through Health Promotion but also by permanent behavior changes which are acceptable by the community and can be carried on to next generation of women.
PD Approach1 has been in Practice for nutrition rehabilitation programs in Vietnam and Rwanda resulting to marked reductions in child malnutrition and improvements in child health within a short period of Time .ITS USE FOR MATERNAL HEALTH PROGRAMMES HAS NEVER BEEN DOCUMENTED ANYWHERE,Making it unique. The angels of Change Project will be linked to other health interventions for all women within the target communities if any.
Its is a Programme which is self centered and Communally driven buiding the Capacity of women especially in resource limited areas to be responsible for their health by taking appropriate actions at the right time through guidance of their Positive Deviant Peers leading to improved maternal Health.

What impact have you had?

PD Approach has been in Practice for nutrition rehabilitation programs in VManonga ADP of World Vision Tanzania resulting to marked reductions in child malnutrition and improvements in child health within a short period of Time .Its our hope that if used in Maternal issues the Result will be overwhelming.

Problem

Tanzania is amongst countries with very high number of maternal deaths in the world, the high maternal and newborn mortality constitute a silent emergency in Africa, (WHO, 2004) .Two decades after safe motherhood initiative (SMI); the maternal and perinatal mortality levels have sadly continued to rise instead of declining. Health indicators are not improving which may be attributed by poor quality of health services provided (reproductive and child health survey, 1999; TDHS, 2004/5).Poverty, social exclusion, low levels of education and women violence/abuse are amongst the contributing factors.
Despite of all of the above factors contributing to the high Maternal mortality ratio in Tanzania, one thing is evedent, that there are a number of women who has never experienced Pre, intra and post delivery complications within our communities under the same resources. Through identifying these Positive Deviant Mothers and Using the Community Based Hearth Session Approach, women of Childbearing age and Pregnant women can be brought together to share the Positive Deviant behaviors practiced by Positive Deviant Mothers.

Actions

What was the defining moment that you led to this innovation?

Mariam(Not her Actual Name) an old lady with Seven children with the Last Born,Nameless dying in early days of her life.Mariam suffered a severe hemmorrhage afterwards,the cause being retained placenta which was very very difficulty to remove.She was brought to the hospital,exahusted and tired,paper white appearance and it was a weekend and a Doctor on Duty was not available in the ward.Luckly enough i was there visiting my wife who has just delivered a baby girl Eileen.After observing that the Doctor on duty was not there then i thought i've to do something to save Mariam's life.I told the nurse,'i'm a Doctor and i think i can help'.At first she didn't agree with me ,she needed to see my ID Card.Unfortunately i didn't have one.I was just Completed internship in Dar Es Salaam and moved to Shinyanga to wait for posting.Unwelcomed by the nurses i just grabed the sterlile gloves and gown from the Nurses hands and rushed to the Bed where Mariam was gasping,after a series of emergency Procedures Mariam became stable,back to life again.....at that point the nurses realized that i was really a medical Doctor.Nearby Mariam there was a Woman Called Fatuma(Not her real name),she knew Mariam of course and they were neighbours to our suprise.She was just delivered a Seventh baby without any Maternal Complications.After talking to her for some time i discovered that she was poor even more than Mariam,then i kept asking myself 'Why people having the same resources,others make good use of them while others are not???.I asked the same question to Fatuma ....to my suprise the practises she explained are those what i currently call Positive Deviant Behaviors.After some time i attended a Positive Deviant/Hearth Training and started offering technical support to one of our Programme area which was implementing the Nutrition Project among Underfives using the PD/Hearth approaches...very successifully.Then i thought the very same idea can pbe used in Maternal health issues ...of course as ANGELS OF CHANGE PROJECT.

Tell us about the social innovator behind this idea.

Majority of Programmes aiming at Good Materal Health are always Generalised and institutioanl approaches.However programmes aiming at Buiding Capacities of women to become the Angels of changes for their lives by observing and learning from peers who have the very same resources but having Positive deviant Practices are very few if Any.Angels of Change Projects is a Socially,acceptible and centered Projects which uses socially driven practices which are Positive to build capacity of expectant mothers in Materal Health issues.

Country your work focuses on

Ethiopia

What will be the impact of your idea?

In a country like Ethiopia where there is no freedom of expression my idea will have wider impact as it enables people to access news, views and commentaries that are being censored by the regime in power. I believe that the Addis Voice Multimedia Proxy toolbar can also be replicated in other countries where there is no freedom of expression. Besides, my proxy server, www.webliberator.com, does not just help Ethiopians but anyone in any part of the world to bypass web censoring firewalls and content filtering devices. Not only that, my idea can also be adopted by larger or smaller media outlets who want to provide multimedia content like news, podcast, online radio, video, TV, weather updates, games, desktop alert and live streaming, which are all available on my media toolbar, which was created using the Conduit.

Who will help you develop your idea? Why are you the one to make this happen?

In spite of the fact that I have been the only one working on this project, I have received ideas from friends. A couple of students and faculty at Stanford University, where I am currenly a visiting scholar, consulted me on the design, whihc is still a protype. As a result its growing popularity, the Addis Voice Multimedia Proxy Toolbar has been downloaded by over 12,000 users.

How much will it cost to launch your idea? (This can be an estimate)

I estimate that to turn my idea into a sustainable business that also syndicates original news and multimedia content such as podcast and videos, I need around $50,000 as I have to hire a few people who will turn this simple idea into a powerful media platform.

What is your idea? What makes it innovative? Why is it important?

Musical Missionary is a nonprofit organization and record label dedicated to improving educational opportunities for underprivileged youth around the world, from America to Afghanistan and Africa. Musical Missionary will raise exposure and money for this mission by selling music, producing documentaries, and organizing fund raisers.

Will you launch your idea as a business or non-profit?

n/a

What will be the impact of your idea?

Musical Missionary will impact local communities in the United States by supporting after-school programs that will help children with their general school work as well as enhancing their exposure to arts education. In addition, Musical Missionary aims to setup scholarship funds that enhance the educational opportunities for underprivileged youth in America. Through these programs, Musical Missionary aims to reduce disenfranchisement among America's poor youth and raise the standard of living for America's poor communities.

Musical Missionary will impact poor nations by supporting school-building activities in areas where schools are needed most and have shown success in keeping children away from religious extremist groups. Musical Missionary also hopes to fund scholarship programs in these areas to offer youth more educational opportunities and ultimately raise the standard of living for these international communities.

Who will help you develop your idea? Why are you the one to make this happen?

As far as the music label component of Musical Missionary, I have an extensive network of contacts throughout the music industry. One of Musical Missionary's earliest supporters who has given me hours of advice and a number of contacts is a board member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS), the board responsible for the Grammy Awards. He is just one of many close contacts I have with decades of experience producing, releasing and publishing music.

I plan to consult other philanthropists currently engaged in similar charity work. Musical Missionary has already donated $1000 to a Miami after-school arts program called SoBe Arts (sobearts.org) and plans to donate money to a school-building program in Afghanistan called Three Cups Of Tea (threecupsoftea.com). Musical Missionary plans to consult the leaders of these organizations for advice on how to create and position a sustainable nonprofit charity.

From these different networks, Musical Missionary plans to add valuable members to its board of directors to ensure sustainability and maximum impact through its mission.

How much will it cost to launch your idea? (This can be an estimate)

Musical Missionary has managed to launch its label with no start up capital by starting out as a digital-only label and by soliciting music donations. However, a significant marketing/promotions budget could help Musical Missionary maximize its exposure and revenue potential. $5,000 would help Musical Missionary promote it's first 10 releases and gain exposure in major magazines.

Another way Musical Missionary could accelerate its exposure is to commission music from well-known music producers. $5,000 would be sufficient to utilize this tactic over the course of one year.

Finally, Musical Missionary could accelerate the process of creating its first documentary with approximately $10,000 to $15,000.

Currently, Musical Missionary plans to fund the activities mentioned above with earned income.

It will cost around $ 1000 per state in India(29 states). Based on the media we advertise this message it will come down or up. Campaigns are only attracted to limited coverage. But door to door campaign only thru TV/Mobile

What will be the impact of your idea?

Country our wor[ds, ks, th] focuses on:

In the young & old exists abilities to foresee danger, as muscle memory (memes) influences/IMPACTS reality. Opening positive-action-gateways DAILY into 2012, revealing of any would-be negative (re)source(s), 'aware-masses' will follow In the Light of 20:12 as water flows through a 'sieve' (conceive?)

In Spanish, 'si' means yes & world-wide 'eve' (wisdom) has been dominated by adam/knowledge-heritage/egotism. Dominion, a well documented gift (Gen. 1:26) given to humanity [& rightfully ‘sow’ since animals have fallen under rule of 'thumb'] offers yet another apparent fact that rule by 'survival of the fittest' is NOT solely a human capacity, but shared with stronger, often wiser animal [relative?] innovators.

We've seen Ultimate-IMPACT create precedence in lifesurround US but contributions by members from around the world have yet to Pitch-In & help US say...WE THE PEOPLE...OF "EARTH" do sincerely hope media '& democracy' will POSITIVELY take center stage to LITERALLY…

Who will help you develop your idea? Why are you the one to make this happen?

…to LITERALLY "TRANSFORM ALL our natures, to create a better world 'through' media...if not, then knot, but know more war, if media's making MOkings of us." http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/modus+operandi

Youth is in our hands...not in our control…within US not without us…on/in earth.

EVERYONE on planet Earth & SOON THE MOON (Mars by rover-tweets) will help US develop yOUR idea/project. 'LEO - The Copernican model of change, hovering to free minds & bodies' (believe?)

WHY...am i the one? WE THE PEOPLE...EARTHLINGS...are far more important than any one, divided-nation alone. With an online/SMS platform to share your daily "stories" [deeper & longer than tweets] "lives" will transform lives, as one.

As ONE, any stretch of armageddon-imagination will cease to exist-to-seed-fear into yOUR decedents, transforming humanity@large '&' as a WHOLE.

"A whole lot of nothing becomes a lot of something", if NOT focused on, WiTHiN the realm of positivity~!

How much will it cost to launch your idea? (This can be an estimate)

Less than 25,000 USD will launch our idea/project while the remaining seeds/funds will benefit its growing member-base of operations, volunteers & employees, as well as help us secure corporate support. Eg. 1st company, LEO - Low Earth Orbit - Human Powered Helicopter Project, with an AHS award/fund of 250,000 USD http://vtol.org/awards/hph.html ] VOTE4LEO2HOVER (perceive?) https://www.changemakers.com/en-us/node/53361

Apparently, WE [US] THE PEOPLE of Earth (lingering) have an innovative will, yet will we [MUST] be given the funds to influence [MT] minds globally when U-SING THE POWER OF THE WORD, too weed-out indifference & stupidity in the fading, dim light of CURRENT popular media.

What impact have you had?

"Impactfully...impact-fully?" We have had an impact on several people whom once believed the stories of water shortages becoming front page news, sooner & in more countries than those 'considered' third world economies, in the not too distant future! The current economic state of some of the richest countries could actually be at a higher risk of water shortage, with the focus on economy & not community, making pollution & not cleaning it up. We cannot drink petroleum, & plastics are polluting our watersheds on an ever increasing level.

We have changed our behaviors & influenced our neighbors. Now we need this seed fund to reach neighbors beyond our current resources.

Problem

PROBLEM-PETROLEUM...? The problem is not initially petroleum, but any mind believing transportation & energy starts with the blood/oil of our planet, may tend to put off the reality of what the 'petro-businesses' are doing to our fresh-water resources & watersheds. Plastics alone are destroying lives & nature as we compete to change this fact?

PROBLEM-NUTRITION...? There is no problem with the idea to 'S.A.V.E. H²O for EARTHLINGS' to increase nutritions, yet it may become apparent when the 'Sol' source of improving nutrition' has been ignored for far too long.

PROBLEM-INNOVATION...? Untold billions will not suffer (coming?) water shortages if this 'global idea' is given a chance to boil under the watchful eye of our 'Sol' source of inspiration.

PROBLEM-SOLUTION...? Global Collective Action! 5000 USD initiates our cause in more places than on facebook &/or our single website! Members of teamLEOnardo are & know engineers willing to volunteer & solve any problems flowing through this idea, & will help in giving birth to S.A.V.E. H²O for EARTHLINGS bio-dome factories on every continent & coastline! We're excited at the potential of beginning sooner than later.

Actions

To make this project successful, we have entered this competition! The results will transform nutrition, we know that! But in which direction & 'honestly' for how many? Without 5000 USD as startup/seed funding, our idea to facebook this initiative only, may not provide the greatest effect without a globally successful & interactive website; we have some really great SMS competition ideas & member-supported-initiatives in store for those 'virtually' interested but lacking time &/or the know-how or the will to take preventative DAILY action, in order to reverse our continued ignoring of, the fact, that cleaning & preserving all watersheds, is extremely important to everyone's health!

Results

The resulting help from more people becoming aware & joining us in building countless S.A.V.E. H²O for EARTHLINGS bio-domes might lead one to expect that nutrition will increase, even in places where a lack of the best nutrition practices is still ignored through popular education.

We do not 'expect', but will 'suspect' the entire world will benefit from better water practices promoted by S.A.V.E. H²O for EARTHLINGS.

What will it take for your project to be successful over the next three years? Please address each year separately, if possible.

Year 1 - Win & begin helping individuals collectively 'win-vest' in S.A.V.E. H²O for EARTHLINGS' education / curriculum, to commence building bio-domes. Partner with: http://www.inka.fm/index.php

"The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and Ashoka’s Changemakers believe that good nutrition for the ENTIRE world’s population IS WiTHiN our reach. EVERYONE can be well nourished."

Year 2 - Bio-dome factories are created & employees hired; shipping of fresh water around the world begins! We partner with WaterBrick International: http://www.waterbrick.org/founder_message.php

"Many of these solutions are likely to come from creative-thinking community members & local, GRASSROOTS organizations with the POTENTIAL for GROWTH and SCALE. All of them MUST be RADICALLY CREATIVE @ their CORE."

Year 3 - Smaller nations & those malnourished will be among the first to be employed by S.A.V.E. H²O for EARTHLINGS world-wide. Partner TBA.

"The WORLD has made strides in lessening malnutrition’s scope, yet approximately one billion people are STILL malnourished, & 25,000 people DIE every day from hunger & related causes. You are key to identifying new APPROACHES THAT BREAK THE MOLD."

Year 4 - By breaking the mold we encourage others too, feed, not only stomachs but more importantly, minds/souls.

"If you have an entrepreneurial SPIRIT & a HEART for MAKING A DIFFERENCE in one of the MOST SIGNIFICANT challenges of our time, join us."

What would prevent your project from being a success?

Lack of votes to begin with, imagination &/or keen understanding on the part of judges to consider the root of malnutrition, is lack of FREE & infinitely SAFE drinking/growing water!

How many people will your project serve annually?

10,000 人超

What makes your idea unique?

The village laborers are involving their most of their time in fighting with each other, communal clashes, sex addiction, drug addiction, used by Political meeting(by giving some amount and one day meals). They are practiced to avail all the benefits on FREE. Hence, they are not ready to do hard work and wanted to earn much profit on a short period. Due to this they are using unwanted chemical manures to spoil the health of humans. The practice of wasting the time by seeing the TV serials, chat with another, etc. will be reduced.
