I am a bit late in writing about this project, but this is an initiative from ChangeMakers, an organization associated with Ashoka for providing Social and Financial Security for the rural poor.
The competition is being supported by the Citi Group and there is a cash award of $5000 for the winning team/innovation.
There have been around 280 entries from 43 countries who have sent their innovation and the panel selected 13 entries to the finals. Now, you can make a difference by voting for the best entries you think are the best innovations.
Here are the final 13, out of which 3 are from India 🙂
1. Free Social Security to Disadvantaged and Rural Population, OASiS.
2. A Holistic approach to micro-insurance – Breaking the cycle of illness and debt, Healing Fields Foundation.
3. Sampoorna Suraksha – Social Security for all occasions, Shri Kshetra Dharmasthala Rural Development Project.
You need to register with ChangeMakers first as a user and then you need to caste your vote. All project information and the implementation model is described in detail in the respective nomination description pages.
Be a Change Maker and vote for the idea which you believe is the best and support the organizations dedicated to change the way we live.
