Organization type:
nonprofit/ngo/citizen sector
Idea
Budget:
$100,000 - $250,000
Example: Walk us through a specific example(s) of how this solution makes a difference; include its primary activities.
A Qatari girl (18 - 24 years old) participates in CLIP. She goes through extensive training sessions provided by leaders worldwide over a span of 3 weeks. She then moves on to Social Entrepreneurship set-up training and an internship in a social enterprise where she learns to be the leader in Civic Engagement. She moves forward along with her fellow members of the program to 6 different places around MENA including Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Sudan, Yemen and Iraq. Her major aim for this trip is to set-up social enterprises on her name while she meets and trains village and victimized women in the countries. As a matter of fact, those women in their individual countries become CLIP members and initiate a chain reaction to other women.
Impact: What is the impact of the work to date? Also describe the projected future impact for the coming years.
Since it is a start-up idea, it has no current impact. However, the future consequences of this program can lead to following impact:
Empowering 15 Qatari young girls, that in turn empowers 10 women in 6 countries. Among who, each women empowers one other women to set up social enterprises and this in turn helps the economy.
Within first 4 months, the Cultural Legacy and Influence Program reaches out to 25 women in helping them start-up. Within a year, through the network of human chain reaction, it reaches out to approximately 100 women and the numbers from there onwards will increases exponentially making a possibility of empowering 6,000 women to help them start-up in 3 years.
Financial Sustainability Plan: What is this solution’s plan to ensure financial sustainability?
The program's initial cost is 124,000 QAR that will be collected through the Ashoka Changemakers fund of $25,000 + potential sponsors and investors including Awesome Foundation and The Youth Company's YOU-Start Program. The program then moves on to an online platform through which each CLIP member can have access to $1,500 to start-up their social enterprise. The enterprises once started up can donate and sponsors will be approached annually.
