The Need: What problem are you trying to solve?

Nicaragua is one of the least innovative and poorest nations in the western hemisphere. Over 50% of the population live with less than $2 a day. Thousands of talented artisans, producers and entrepreneurs, which have the potential to create new economic growth, lack the support and services they need to innovate their products, access new markets and grow their businesses. We believe there is a need for innovative, long-term solutions that promote collaboration, create sustainable growth and improve lives.

The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!

NIC Boutique is a social enterprise that helps artisans, producers and entrepreneurs express their talents, empower themselves, and become more financially independent by providing them with the support and services they need to innovate their products, access new markets and grow their businesses.

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

1. Our multi-disciplinary team of specialists identifies qualified artisans and producers that have products or the potential to create products with market demand.

2. Once a qualified artisan/producer has been identified we perform a custom designed diagnostic based on 7 main categories which are: Design, Brand, Technology, Innovation, Production, Finance and Management to get a 360 degree view of the artisan or producers current strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

3. We evaluate the results of the diagnostic and select the most viable solutions that will help the artisan/producer improve and innovate their products to prepare them for new markets.

4. Once the artisan/producer's products are ready for market, we begin a testing phase to learn how to best introduce the product into the marketplace and minimize risk.

5. Based on what we learned during the testing phase we make necessary improvements and refine our product introduction strategy.

6. We measure and analyze the results of our efforts to identify and systemize best practices for each product and category.

7. We give back. For every product sold NB designates 10% of the profits to a special fund called FEI (fond de emprendimiento e innovación) that will be used to support entrepreneurship and innovation efforts in Nicaragua.

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?

In Nicaragua there are currently no local competitors that offer all the services or brand platform that Nic Boutique does. There is a tremendous lack of service providers specialized in innovation and world class design services. The few efforts that have been made to address these needs have been mostly provided through NGO or government sponsored programs that focus mainly on technical training, equipment financing and or business coaching. The biggest problem with this strategy is that these programs do not provide long-term sustainable solutions to innovate and commercialize their products. Once the funding has run out the artisans/producers are on their own.

What solution(s) does your initiative address to help emerging entrepreneurs and small businesses grow and thrive in underserved communities? (select all applicable)

Access to financing, Access to talent, Access to supply chains, Access to technology, Access to economic opportunity.

What has been the impact of your solution to date?

In under 5 months of operations we have helped several artisans and producers improve their products and introduce them to new markets with better margins such as the Duty Free Store PLISA located in the Managua International Airport and Stop-N-Go speciality gourmet markets in Nicaragua. We also are currently working to begin new product introductions in local supermarket chains and begin exporting products under the NB brand to specialty niche markets in Central America and the US before the end of 2012.

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

Our goal is to improve thousands of lives in Nicaragua and Central America over the next 3 years. We want to create a new model of development that is built upon teamwork and the belief that design, collaboration and goodwill can be used to combat poverty and create sustainable growth.

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

The greatest barrier that exists for the success of our project right now is the lack of working capital and financing available to us. The project has been funded solely by the founding partners David Cadia, Carlos Chica and close friends and relatives.

To overcome this barrier we entered a new entrepreneurship program funded by the IDB /COSEP / CACONIC called Emprendimientos Dinámicos website: www.emprendimientos.org.ni. NIC Boutique was selected as a finalist in the program and is being provided with free consulting services to help prepare us for a new network of local Angel Investors that the program has created.

Winning entries present a strong plan for how they will achieve and track growth. Identify your six-month milestone for growing your impact

increase distribution points of NB products to include the two major super market chains in Nicaragua

Identify three major tasks you will have to complete to reach your six-month milestone

任务 1

obtain necessary working capital

任务 2

add the missing team members we need

任务 3

market our brand and products

Now think bigger! Identify your 12-month impact milestone

exporting NB products throughout the region and US

Identify three major tasks you will have to complete to reach your 12-month milestone

任务 1

任务 2

任务 3

create strategic alliances with regional and US distributors

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 few years ago I was in a local artisan market with my girlfriend and found a talented artisan jewelry maker named Carlos Jimenez. His designs were very unique and high quality so I started a conversation with him. We talked for a while and he had a great story and a good product but I noticed he had no logo or brand. He also had no website or marketing strategies or lacked the capital to buy better raw materials. At that time I had a business that was providing businesses with very specialized design and innovation services and I thought what a difference I could make in this person's life if I could be able to provide him with same services. He had a great product and story but just needed a little help to take it to the next level. I knew that I had to do something to help him and other talented people like him. That's when the idea for NIC Boutique was born and the belief that we could make a difference in the lives of thousands of people became my obsession.

可持续性

了解详情↑ 隐藏↑ 隐藏

将您的合作伙伴关系告知我们:

Through innovation workshops and conferences that our founder David Cadia provides to small-to-medium enterprises, cooperatives, and local university entrepreneurship programs in Nicaragua, we have been able to meet many of the current artisans and producers we are working with and have made alliances with some of the NGOs/programs that they are receiving support from such as Technoserve and Vital Voices. Also, Movistar Negocios Nicaragua, a division of international telecom provider Movistar, is officially sponsoring the NB team with phones, business telecom services and networking events.

Please elaborate on any needs or offers you have mentioned above and/or suggest categories of support that aren't specified within the list

We need to create and support new financing methods. It is extremely difficult to obtain financing for these type of projects, especially in Nicaragua. We want to make a difference in this country and stop not-only the migration of the poor but also the great intelectual migration that Nicaragua and Central America has suffered because of the lack of venture capital and support systems.

Community Action Plan on Poverty

The main goal of this initiative within one year is to generate broad support and endorsement of the "Community Action Plan on Poverty", that is based on local resources and involves different sectors of stakeholders in the coordinated implementation of specific actions in 10 key areas of work. In the mid term, enough evidence will be accumulated to initiate changes in local government and funding bodies' policies, that enable a more strategic approach to address poverty.

Media For Society

Media For Society is a network of artists (filmmakers, designers, photographers and writers) who wish to use their creative talents to raise issues, engage communities, celebrate real life heroes, and become a platform to take these stories on a global platform. As media professionals, we have often seen how NGOs grapple to get quality media outputs. Most of the service providers in the market are profit oriented. So any change maker who wants to get his/her story across has to either pay a hefty charge or settle with mediocre quality. Media For Society provides a better solution.

Recostruction (Tamir-e-Nau).

The state of affairs in the Green Sector is positively not sustainable! At the present rate we will have completely degraded and/ or exhausted our Renewable Natural Resources within a matter of a decade or two. The tremendous population pressure that we are exerting will soon reach crisis proportions. The era of beg and borrow is now almost at a close. It is a great shame that when there is plenty of scope for improvement and enhancement, we are forced to face a situation of need and scarcity. It is not my intention to expose our National Dirty Linen in Public.

Producia: Gamifying New Economics for Social Good

According to renowned psychologist, Abraham Maslow, the ultimate need of a human being is to self-actualize, or to reach our full potential. At the top of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is Self-Actualization and basic needs are at the bottom. In today's society, our current economic system is the main barrier for the majority of humanity to gain the resources and experiences to undergo self-actualization. The costs of our basic needs are rising, while wages are staying flat.

Spreading of positivity

I made a list of Central Government Representatives and State Government Representatives contact numbers. I collected positive quotes from books, sites etc. I started sending quote each and every day through free sms websites. They used to get positive energy and they responded. In turn they used to work with positivity. They used to forward them to their followers. Later i came up with the letter telling about my project 'Spreading of Positivity'.

Mozambikes

The average Mozambican earns $2/day, rendering them unable to purchase simple daily needs. The majority of jobs consist of collecting or growing, and selling product daily in markets. As such, incomes are limited by strength (carry capacity), speed (product spoils) and health (long commutes in the hot sun). Over 60% of people are illiterate due to lack of schools, and thousands die from HIV and malaria each year from inability to reach clinics. These devastating statistics can be drastically changed with an efficient bicycle market.

Marketing & Partnership Building to Support Social Innovation- Increase your Bottom Line

Many new and mid-level innovators understand the importance of networking and developing meaningful partnerships, but are not sure how to approach, maintain and grow meaningful, long-term partnerships that translate into media exposure and revenue down the line.

Mujeres Cabeza De Familia Contribuyen En La Inclusión Y Dinamización De La Economía En El Municipio De Villa De Leyva

What change do you want to bring to the world?

Este proyecto se centra en la inclusión de la población de bajos recursos económicos en el circuito económico local del Turismo del municipio de Villa de Leyva a través de la proveeduría de bienes y servicios, el aprovechamiento de un mercado potencial local con productos diferenciadores, personalizados y a su vez que posicionan y promueven el destino turístico, como también la generación de capacidades principalmente a mujeres cabeza de familia, basado en la diversidad de los oficios y vocaciones propias.

What are the primary activities of your project?

1. Desarrollo del Plan de Negocios de la actividad productiva de elaboración de jabones tipo hotel que durará 3 meses.
2. formación en elaboración de Jabones tipo Hotel en diferentes presentaciones y líneas; al mes 6 se han formado 4 hombres y 24 mujeres de Asociación Crecemos con una duración de 50 horas en elaboración y desarrollo de líneas de jabones tipo hotel.
3. Instalación de una planta productiva y didáctica para la elaboración de jabones artesanales; al mes 5 se ha instalado y calibrado una planta de procesamiento para jabones tipo hotel
4. Desarrollo de las líneas de producción para jabones tipo hotel; al mes 6 la planta cuenta con manuales de procesos y procedimientos para la elaboración de jabones tipo hotel, se han probado y producido las líneas de producción establecidas

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

INNOVACION SOCIAL: mejorar el acceso igualitario a derechos económicos en torno a una actividad productiva rentable, incluyente y sostenible; que garantice ingresos y empleo digno.

INNOVACION ECONOMICA: incorporación al mercado local de un producto desarrollado por la misma población generando autoabastecimiento en circuito económico local y a su vez sentido de identidad, promoción y posicionamiento de la imagen corporativa de las empresas hoteleras y del destino en general.

INNOVACIÓN HACIA EL MERCADO: elaboración de jabones artesanales especializados y diferenciados (color, olor, forma, características y diseño) para cada hotel de Villa de Leyva, satisfaciendo las necesidades de los mismos garantizando su exclusividad a modo de herramienta de posicionamiento.

INNOVACION AMBIENTAL por otro lado se plantea el aprovechamiento y tratamiento de los residuos de jabón generados por los mismos hoteles en el desarrollo de suavizantes para sabanas y cobijas, como estrategia de generación de valor y mitigación del impacto ambiental de los desechos del sector hotelero.

Los jabones serán elaborados a base de aloe vera, atendiendo a la problemática que presenta dicho cultivo en la región al haber sido sometido a un crecimiento desmesurado en los últimos años y que en la actualidad no existe quien compre la producción del mismo, llevando casi a la quiebra a más de 100 familias que perciben ingresos de él, en esta lógica el proyecto busca dar aprovechamiento a la sábila

What stage is your project in?

Idea phase

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

La Asociación Crecemos, conformada por 21 socios(a) nació de un programa del SENA denominado LEOS en el año 2004 cuyo objetivo buscaba integrar a diversos actores turístico del municipio de Villa de Leyva; sin embargo la gran diversidad de servicios ofrecidos (artesanías, alojamiento, operadores turísticos, agencias de turismo, museo Acuña, restaurantes) dificultó desde un principio lograr definir un producto o servicio como estrategia integradora y de desarrollo para la Asociación. Los miembros de Asocrecemos desde entonces han venido articulando estrategias de comercialización de cada uno de productos y servicios, estudiando minuciosamente las características de cada socio y el entorno en el que operaba la asociación.
En un 80% son mujeres cabeza de hogar con hijas madres adolescentes, las cuales en promedio tienen a cargo tres personas, viven en condiciones económicas poco favorables y se encuentran en alto riesgo de vulnerabilidad. El nivel socioeconómico corresponde al 1 y 2, con un grado de formación educativa en su mayoría primaria y secundaria, adicionalmente con ingresos económicos limitados derivados de trabajos esporádicos al no contar con la posibilidad de acceder a un empleo digno y justo, esto debido a que en dicho municipio la situación laboral se enfrenta a una dinámica variable denominada temporadas, en esta lógica acceden a un trabajo donde se emplean en restaurantes, hoteles y actividades varias; luego de las temporadas dejan de percibir ingreso alguno dificultando el sostenimiento de sus familias.

Por otro lado ASOCRECEMOS es una organización multidisciplinar que se ha dado a la tarea de buscar alternativas de trabajo mediante la artesanía (tejidos, cerámica y madera), gastronomía, hotelería, turismo, agroindustria, papelería y servicios de comunicaciones; de igual forma la Asociación a autogestionado diferentes iniciativas lo que ha permitido una definición de roles a través del aprovechamiento de los oficios que desarrolla cada socio conservando su vocación.

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

Asocrecemos ha trabajado en diferentes procesos de fortalecimiento en la base organizacional y de generación de capacidades a sus asociados como ejemplo en programa PUMP de Holanda, lo cual le ha permitido ser una organización comprometida, pujante y persistente, que no desfallece en los procesos a pesar de encontrar respuestas negativas en muchos de ellos, por el contrario cada vez se enfrentan a los retos con mayor dinamismo y energía, porque han entendido la importancia del trabajo en grupo y articulado, donde el beneficio es mutuo y se aprende a sobresalir a pesar de las dificultades.

La iniciativa surge al identificar el mercado potencial existente en la región gracias a que el municipio de Villa de Leyva posee fuertemente arraigada la vocación turística, contando en promedio con la existencia de 120 alojamientos entre Hoteles, Hostales y Posadas, quienes en temas de abastecimiento requieren productos o servicios que les garanticé costos accesibles, y también de una otra manera su responsabilidad social frente a la generación de empleo; para ellos es indispensable el desarrollo de su imagen corporativa en todo lo que allí se ofrece con un valor diferenciador respecto a los demás hoteles, por tal razón la organización planteo la idea de ofrecer jabones artesanales para suplir esta necesidad y generar alternativas de solución a la inestabilidad de empleo a la que se enfrentan actualmente.

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

En Principio y de acuerdo con el análisis financiero realizado se plantea que con la implementación de la unidad productiva se lograra atender en el escenario más negativo al 5% del mercado objetivo,es decir una producción anual de 48.000 unidades de jabones tipo hotel de 10 gramos con un precio de $81 la unidad y un precio de venta de $300 (precio competitivo en el mercado) lo que genera unos ingresos por $14.400.000 con una ganancia neta de $10.531000 lo que conlleva retorno de la inversión al tercer año demostrable en una Tasa Interna de Retorno (TIR) del 27.5% y un Valor Acutal Neto (VAN) de $92.932.422. Gracias al la puesta en marcha del plan de negocios se ampliara la base de clientes lo cual debe venir acompañado de un crecimiento en el cubrimiento geográfico, por otro lado se trabajara de forma constante en el desarrollo de nuevos productos que integren necesidades manifiestas de los clientes, logrando así atenderlas y generando alternativas de ingreso, con lo anterior se fomenta la generación de empleo garantizando ingresos y condiciones dignas a las madres cabeza de familia y demás involucrados en el proceso, finalmente se contempla el planteamiento de una estrategia que permita recircular el capital creando un sistema de ahorro que sea visualizado para la puesta en marcha de nuevas iniciativas y por ende que garantice el sostenimiento de la actual propuesta, de igual manera debe trabajarse en el fortalecimiento de las alianzas existentes y seguir en búsqueda de nuevas que generen beneficio y sean útiles para los procesos y la organización.

Productive agriculture in a semi arid Saharan region using Mycorrhizae methods to transform soil into a sustainable tool.

We want to bring a change in the lives of the marginalized population living under a deplorable climatic condition in a Region characterized by a very short rainy season followed by a prolonged dry season. The Saharan vegetation is seen in these areas with semi arid and arid soils which are very unproductive especially for a population who depend on extensive agriculture and cattle rearing. We intend to change the fertility of its soil through the use of Mycorrhizae techniques.

The group leaders will be further trained on leadership, transparency; management and governance so as to equip them effectively manage the affairs of the group. At the end of this training, the population will be capacity built and ready to move on to the demonstration phase of the project.

Activity 5: Demonstration of simple soil transforming techniques:
This phase of training will be done in collaboration with the institute of research and agriculture development (IRAD) whereby experts of this center will organize talks and demonstration (practical) sessions using Mycorrhizae methods.

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

The novelty in this project is the transformation of 100 hectares of semi arid soil into a fertile productive farm, it is the first of its kind organized in the North of Cameroon (the highest in population), and will intervene in the following domains; environmental protection, gender equality, capacity building, natural resource management policy and governance. The project will target poor communities in the project area, focusing on the most vulnerable groups of women, youth and the disabled irrespective of their status and occupation. Gender equity will be among the key criteria in the recruitment and training of target groups.

- The Northern regions of Cameroon in West Africa is characterized by savanna with harsh desert encroaching climate having high temperature of 50°c and less rainfall even during the rainy season.
The Region has a dense youthful and vulnerable population and characterized by low school attendance, a factor partly responsible for the high rate of juvenile delinquency, high prevalence of HIV AIDS pandemic and youth drug abuse; This situation arrested the Founder, which sought for different solutions, including direct contact not only with the target population (gender) but the creation of a plantation that will boost the economy of the Region.
•We must say that the objectives of aashumade happen to be similar in their bid to improve on human conditions in high risk zones. The fundamental issue here is to what extent can the tow NGOs address humanitarian problems and find common and long lasting solutions to them?

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

It all started within the framework enjoining the National and
International community in celebrating the International Day of the African Child, under the theme “Participation of the African Child in development”, 10th - 16th June 2008 that ASHUMADE, organized a 278 Km trekking, a one-man-tracking event, in the person of the founding President undertook a venture demonstrating a strong will to succeed and resist the adverse climatic and political atmosphere at great personal risk to express his commitment to the cause of the vulnerable. The general problems of the population arrested his attention, which sought for numerous positions, including industrial agriculture where we are today.(see report and video)

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

The project aimed at serving as an instrument for dialogue or intermediary between the young people and local authorities and governments; In most developed countries, the youths are organized and participate in decision making especially as they are the future leaders of their nations; Trekking and sensitizing them on sustainable
projects especially on agriculture and education including training schemes were needed to give equal opportunities to the Cameroonian or African child.
With the success of the project, some youths have begun to fight against poverty through small scale agricultural projects capable of sustaining them, making them independent.

What makes your idea unique?

Football For Life is unique in several ways. In this competition, we are unique in being the only submission from China, the world’s biggest football nation. Our commitment to community values and the principles of fair play still make us unique in this market today.

FFL is the first time that a registered charity and a community football club have come together in China to provide disadvantaged children with the same high quality experiences enjoyed by more affluent urban kids.

FFL is the first time that ClubFootball’s 90,000+ members and fans (and many more supporters) have had the opportunity to channel charitable contributions directly into football and witness the impact on deserving children in their own communities.

FFL is unique in matching CAI’s network of migrant schools with ClubFootball’s spare coaching capacity. This matching of resources enables us to jointly deliver football courses free to all FFL participants and to start integrating migrant kids groups with the more than 2,000 city registered kids currently playing football at our courses held at nearly 20 locations across Beijing.

At the heart of FFL is the desire to provide positive learning experiences, not just for city and migrant kids, but also for ClubFootball’s international coaches, local staff and volunteers. These innovations make FFL sustainable and scalable directly in line with the growth of football in major cities.

Do you have a patent for this idea?

What impact have you had?

FFL kicked off in the first semester of the 2009/10 academic year (autumn/winter) with pilot programs running in Dongba Experimental School. The pilot involved approx. 150 boys and girls.

In Spring 2010, Football For Life expanded to reach a total of 242 kids. Substantial media support has been secured and key sponsors & partners are committed for future seasons.

Feedback

At the outset, being unfamiliar with the game of football, many had expected not to enjoy the activity but were unanimously converted come the end of the course! Aside from bringing happiness to the children, they were particularly grateful for the exercise and the opportunity to play outdoors having previously stayed inside for PE classes.

The activity helped boost confidence, self-esteem and energy levels, as well as giving kids the chance to interact more and form stronger, more compassionate relationships with their peers.

In addition, many of the children also mentioned that taking part in the programs had prompted a love of the game that they could use in their family life and intended to watch televised games with their fathers in future.

FFL also helped break down gender-based barriers amongst girls who previously believed that football was a sport for boys only and who now look forward to playing with a newfound sense of confidence in their abilities.

Problem

There are currently 150-200 million migrant laborers who have moved from the countryside into major cities in China. They must either uproot or leave behind their children. In certain regions, 50% of children have parents working in other provinces.

Migrant children are especially vulnerable to low self-esteem and delinquency. They are also the most at risk from human trafficking. Studies show that a large percentage perform poorly in school, are disenfranchised, and develop behavioral issues due to limited social support, poor economic conditions, lack of familial support and low motivation levels.

Migrant children mostly live outside city centers and frequently move with their parents. They lack stability and suffer from limited access to education and government services. Against this backdrop, recent studies show that youth crime in China is escalating dramatically and gangs are attracting children by providing comfort, structure & a sense of purpose.

Actions

With the project now successfully launched in Beijing, our efforts in 2010 are focused on further evaluating the impact, consolidating our current operations (including dealing with the issue of the fluctuating numbers of students at migrant schools) and, subject to funding, extending Football For Life into more migrant schools to reach more deserving kids.

For that we require support from multiple sources and we are working closely with local government, private companies, non-profit organizations and other community groups to secure in-kind and cash donations and sponsorships. We are also actively seeking grants from charitable foundations.

Our aim is to build Football For Life into the primary vehicle for uniting the incredible power of football at all levels in China and directing those combined efforts directly into delivering practical solutions on the ground in the most deserving communities.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL THE CHINESE VIDEO REPORTS SUBMITTED IN SUPPORT OF THIS APPLICATION WERE REJECTED. WE ARE HAPPY TO SEND THIS LIST SEPARATELY.

Results

Feedback From The Children

“This activity makes me happy and gives me confidence and courage in meeting the challenges I will face. I also felt the spirit of team work too! I really like this activity and coaches. Thank you for helping me to find happiness and courage.”

Sun Lan (Grade 7)

“I really liked this activity. It helped me to change a lot of bad habits. Before I did not listen carefully in class, even fell asleep, but now I listen carefully and do not fall asleep anymore. This is how football helped me to change.”

Yang Mengmeng (Grade 5)

“Every time the coaches came to our school, although we did not cheer out loud, I was really excited inside. When they said hello to me, I only replied simply but I was very happy!”

Wang Jiali (Grade 5)

“I will remember forever that I played football with English coaches and shook hands with them when I was in Grade 5”

Wang Lige (Grade 5)

“Before I usually only played with my best friend and sometimes just on my own, so I felt lonely. My classmates always said I was like a sad, old person! But after I took part in this activity, I smile every day."

Tan Dan (Grade 7)

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

2010 – The successful pilot project provides the practical proof of impact required by many major funding bodies. Our primary objective is to ensure the sustainability of the current FFL project in Beijing by establishing minimum annual commitments from our current supporters and by reaching out for further CSR and public affairs contributions from China-based businesses. We need to further improve the donation process to facilitate smaller, individual contributions and we will further develop corporate schemes that better match client budgets and deliver tangible CSR benefits.

2011 – ClubFootball is in the process of securing private backing for the construction of the first dedicated community football center in China. As our flagship charitable project, FFL will be at the core of the fund-raising activities facilitated by the new venue. In addition to providing further high quality capacity for free coaching sessions, the center will also allow us to host special FFL Football Festivals for all participating migrant children and better integrate our migrant kids groups with their city-registered neighbors.

2012 – ClubFootball is exploring options for the extension of its business into further Chinese cities. We commenced commercial community coaching programs at international schools in the city of Tianjin in 2009 and initial FFL fundraising activities started there this year. As these activities and the associated ‘football-friendly’ network grows, we will establish a permanent presence in the city and FFL Tianjin will be our central community commitment.

What would prevent your project from being a success?

With ClubFootball’s coaching capabilities and CAI’s migrant schools network both in place, the major barrier remains the lack of knowledge about this type of community responsibility among local people and the position of many companies which have funds to allocate for similar projects but have yet to recognize Football For Life as a positive force for good within China.

In China, government ownership of sport, restrictions on the activities of charities and NGOs and the failure of the education system to properly value sport in school, all conspire to make it harder to build community sports networks. As indicated by the lack of entries from China for this competition and China's absence from the 2010 FIFA World Cup Finals, football here remains isolated from the world at all levels.

As an organization, ClubFootball is dedicated to building the sustainable infrastructure needed for grassroots football to flourish in China and, with FFL, we are further stating that, as grassroots football finally gets going within major cities, the amateur principles of community support must be proudly proclaimed and delivered from Day One. Given China's population, this is the biggest challenge in the world and we will succeed only if more people and organizations come to share this understanding and actively contribute to ensuring that society's most vulnerable members can enjoy and share the same uplifting sports experiences as the most secure.

Chinese Football Association – ClubFootball supports the “Schools Football” program in 44 cities nationwide.

Beijing Olympic City Development Association – ClubFootball is partner to the Olympic legacy organization. We work with Beijing Education Commission, British Council and Premier League to deliver coach training courses.

Nike is a ClubFootball partner and donates footwear and balls for FFL courses.

Digitouch Foto supports FFL with in-kind services, including team photos for all participants.

Leung’s Studio volunteered their skills to help ClubFootball and CAI create the FFL logo.

Grassroots sports and charitable giving both suffer from lack of media exposure and we have cultivated relations with media organizations that share our commitment. Media partners distributing FFL information (press releases, news and features) are:

PR Newswire Asia, Beijing Today, Sohu Sports Broadcasting, Jin magazine, iCUBED.us, Global Times, China Newswire, China CSR

The involvement and support of the above organizations is crucial to bringiing the FFL message to the wider public.

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

1. Secure more funding. We know the exact costs and resources needed to deliver each FFL course and we still have potential capacity within our current coaching teams. Unfortunately, there is an almost endless number of migrant children who have no organized sports activities and could benefit from FFL courses.

2. Official recognition. We work closely with government, business, media and communities, but we still need to gain more official recognition for our work from domestic and international football organizations and supporters.

3. English. The English language environment provided by FFL is key to attracting kids, parents and schools and we need to better integrate fun-based language learning and practice into all our courses. We are exploring opportunities to add "English Through Football" materials to the packs supplied to FFL participants.

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

From its inception, ClubFootball has had a very strong community ethic and, in partnership with sponsors including MasterCard and Manchester United FC, we have raised nearly US$100,000 for charities including UNICEF, Red Cross and Huiling since 2004.

While we are proud of these achievements as an example of how social groups can join together for the common good, it became increasingly clear to us that football itself desperately needs support in China and, crucially, that football itself is the best solution for many social challenges addressed by various charities.

Once we identified that our football courses directly address many of the issues being tackled by CAI and other NGOs in migrant worker communities, it was an easy extension for us to move forward together to create a single project that combined those shared objectives and benefits.

Tell us about the social innovator behind this idea.

ClubFootball was established by a group of British social entrepreneurs based in China and FFL is just one of the positive results of over 10 years of efforts to instill community sports ethics here.

Chairman Rowan Simons is one of the most respected experts in China’s media industry and a prominent spokesman for the grassroots game. His story of building football in China was told in the book “Bamboo Goalposts” which was shortlisted for the 2008 William Hill Sports Book of the Year.

CEO Keith Bradbury has led our charitable projects since the launch of ClubFootball and he created and now drives forward the FFL project with CAI.

COO David Niven is responsible for building ClubFootball’s junior coaching and league programs and coordinates the schedules of our FFL coaching teams.

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.

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.

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.

What will be the impact of your idea? 

THE IMPACT OF THIS PROPOSAL WOULD BE THAT TWENTY FIVE WOMEN ARE TO BENEFIT FIRST. THEY WOULD NOW BE EXAMPLE OF PROGRAMME TO BE COPIED AND IMPLEMENTED EASILY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

ELECTRONIC MEDIA TO BE USED - AJILETE FM 92.1 RADIO GAMBARI, OGBOMOSO WILL HELP TO REACH OUT TO MILLIONS OF NIGERIANS ON BEEKEEPING ENTERPRISE, IMPORTANCE AND USES OF PURE NATURAL HONEY AND OTHER BEE PRODUCTS.

WOMEN GENERALLY SHALL BE EASILY CONVINCED AND ENCOURAGED TO GO INTO BEEKEEPING WITH CONFIDENCE. PRESENTATION OF FIVE BEEHIVES, TWO BEE SMOKERS, TWO BEE SUITS FOR EACH BENEFICIARY WOULD CREAT A LOT OF INTEREST IN BEEKEEPING BY THE POOR CITIZENS AND FARMERS GENERALLY.

THE CITIZENS WOULD UNDERSTAND BETTER HOW INCOME CAN BE GENERATED STEADILY FROM BEEKEEPING ENTERPRISE. MANY MORE ORGANIZATIONS WOULD SHOW INTEREST IN INVITING ME FOR ME FOR SEMINAR OR WORKSHOP.

THIS COULD CREAT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY OF GETTING ENOUGH PEOPLE TO GO INTO BEEKEEPING FOR INCREASED OR LARGE SCALE PRODUCTION OF BEE PRODUCTS REQUIRED WORLD-WIDE.

ANOTHER IMPACT TO BE CREATED IS THE PULICITY AND APPRECIATION THAT WOULD BE ACCORDED THE SPONOSORS OF THIS PROJECT EACH TIME I AM ON AIR FOR THIS PROGRAMME. TH

Man-making education is a rare and non-existing idea, after Swami Vivekananda's intense teachings around the world. Men and women around the world are grabing information and degrees and do their work for their bread alone. Nobody is interested to teach the poor and the ignorant about the real knowledge to empower himself or herself not only for bread-winning, but an extra-miles going education that can protect him or her from all miseries from outside and also from his or her own inside. This strengtehing of internal man is the most important thing that is required for todays world.

New technologies are observed quickly by women than men

Everyone in this life is affected or influenced by marriage, either through their parents or their own. Keeping a marriage strong while surviving life's trials can be a huge struggle, but learning from other's experiences can help us through these times. Ladies are not weaker sex. They are not only baby making machine. India is conservative - More women CEOs in India than U.S. It is a women dominant society. So, it is very clearly speaking, the technologies are observed quickly by women than men in India.

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. They practice to get some self awareness while doing any work on group. Sharing their views on various matters will lead to healthy environment.

Do you have a patent for this idea?

What impact have you had?

Every person should allot some space or at least plant in mud pots will give strenth to the family members. They can get the fresh vegetables or greens from their kitchen garden itself. Or they can use their neighbour houses for this purpose. In which, the relationship will be developed. The waste water, vegetable wastes are putting as manures for the small plants. Communual violence, idleness, etc. will be reduced. By this formation of Kitchen garden Group, the real economically backward people will benefitted. Helping, compassion, Our future generation (our children) should know the real culture and helping tendency, compassion on fellow humans and the fruit of the Spirit such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Problem

The strength is fresh vegetables. The weakness is regular quantity will not get from kitchen garden(for such option, we can use the fresh veg market). Threat will be coming from big farmers or villagers. Opportunity will be increasing as well as the health of the family members will develop. I am expecting a bright future generation if we use this Kitchen Garden Group.

Actions

The kitchen garden techniq to be adopted as hobby. Physical work may increase health and the concentration on work will give them mental health. This work to be undertaken at least everyday 30 mimutes. In which, the family will get weekly 3 to 4 days or even everyday vegetables.

Results

Self Help Group may be arranged and around 10 to 15 ladies will assemble in a house, where sufficient place is available for planting such kitchen garden veg & greens. The income and expenses may be shared among them. This unity will give them psychological strenth.

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

The idel time will be reduced and the practice of FREE to be vanished from the minds of the housewives and idle gents. Regular plantation and understanding will be developed among one another without seeing any caste, creed and colour.

What would prevent your project from being a success?

I believe the most of the village labours are practiced idleness, hence they sit and drink tea shops and arrack(tasmark) shops. Hence, the crimes are increasing. They might be the prevented this and this can be tackled by their wife's and family members. Even drunkards are reducing.
