Ashoka is the first and largest network of social innovators in the world! The world’s most pressing problems are complex and interconnected, each one compounding the other until they seem impossible to solve. Solutions must be interconnected as well. With over 3,500 Ashoka Fellows from 93 countries, Ashoka is the largest professional network of social innovators in the world. Through its global community of changemakers, Ashoka is helping accelerate social change across causes, disciplines, sectors, and borders. As an international citizen-sector organization, Ashoka's mission is to help build an Everyone A Changemaker World™ or a world that responds quickly and effectively to social challenges and where each individual has the freedom, confidence, and societal support to address any social problem and drive change. In 2007, Ashoka started helping institutions develop social entrepreneurship programs in the Philippines. Officially launched in 2013, Ashoka has since elected 9 Ashoka Fellows from all over the country. As the search for high-impact social innovators continues, Ashoka is helping nurture the changemaker ecosystem in the Philippines through creative coalitions, knowledge sharing, and open collaboration.
