Ashoka Fellows
Ashoka Fellows are leading social entrepreneurs who we recognize to have innovative solutions to social problems and the potential to change patterns across society. They demonstrate unrivaled commitment to bold new ideas and prove that compassion, creativity, and collaboration are tremendous forces for change. Ashoka Fellows work in over 70 countries around the globe in every area of human need.
All Ashoka Fellows must undergo a rigorous search and selection process in which they demonstrate that they fully meet Ashoka's selection criteria. Upon election, all Fellows agree to abide by the Conditions of Association with Ashoka and gain lifetime support through the world’s leading network of social entrepreneurs. Ashoka helps seed that network investment through stipends that allow Fellows the financial flexibility to fully dedicate themselves to their new ideas.
Join us in investing in the growth of the world’s leading network of social entrepreneurs! Donate to the Ashoka Venture Fund, where all donations go directly toward the search, selection, and lifetime support of new Ashoka Fellows. Read the full election profiles of the Ashoka Fellows below.
Ashoka categorizes our Fellows broadly into one of six fields of work: Civic Engagement, Economic Development, Environment, Health, Human Rights, and Learning/Education. Search for a Fellow by name, country, or topic area.
