Ashoka UK

Ashoka is best-known as the leading global network of social entrepreneurs.  We build networks of pattern-changing social innovators and find high-impact entrepreneurs who creatively solve some of the world’s biggest social challenges. 

We select Fellows on their personal drive to change the systems within which they work to solve social and environmental issues.  It is this drive and entrepreneurial quality which to date has led 56% of Fellows to effect a national public policy change. Ashoka Fellows are provided with a multi-year financial stipend, plus access to our extended and expert network for a lifetime of support.

Our  work  with  the  world’s  leading  social  entrepreneurs has  convinced  us  that  a  ‘changemaking’  approach  is  the  only way  to  solve  the  world’s  most  pressing  problems.  Social entrepreneurs, however, cannot fix the planet alone. It will require the collaboration of every player in society, from families to global institutions and everything in between, to create lasting change.
