Global X, who has traveled to Hawaii, was wondering what "Eddie would go" meant. He had to go to Oxford to find out. He listened carefully as Edwin Ou, a Berkeley student currently attending the Skoll World Forum at Oxford, told him the story of this amazing character and how it relates to social entrepreneurship.
He also told Global X what he was hoping for 2017: "Give, give, give!"
Dans cet entretien avec Global X, Apollinaire Malumalu, prêtre diplômé de sciences politiques et ancien doyen de l'université, raconte ce qui s'est passé en 1998 quand l'armée de la République Démocratique du Congo a entouré son église et l'a emmené en cour martiale. Il a été finalement libéré quatre jours après, « grâce à la mobilisation de la population locale ».
Mohammed Abba runs Mobah Rural Horizons, which provides an electricity-free refrigeration system easy to operate by African villagers.
He tells Global X why his simple technology, which better preserves local crops, is breaking the vicious cycle of poverty.
The results: farmers sell their crops when demand is high, and more girls can go to school.
Social entrepreneur Roshaneh Zafar, founder and managing director of The Kashf Foundation, Pakistan's third largest microfinance institution, tells Global X why she had to unlearn what she learned about economics.
She also shares what happened when she realized that she was sitting at a conference next to a gentleman called Muhammad Yunus.
Global X interviews Joachim Ezeji (GSBI 2007), founder of the Rural Africa Water Development Project in Nigeria, a social venture that improves access to safe drinking water through household water treatment technologies.
At the Skoll World Forum, Global X had a chance to chat with famous film producer and social entrepreneur Peter Samuelson (see his Wikipedia profile). Listen to him as he tells the true story of an HBO executive who cried during a business lunch. This experience became the catalyst for his social benefit ventures.
Mathias Craig launched blueEnergy to provide a low-cost, sustainable solution to the energy needs of marginalized communities through the construction of wind turbines and the installation (and maintenance!) of hybrid wind and solar electric systems.
