The number of those over 80 will triple in 15 years, one example of humanity’s dramatically new demography. Ashoka Fellows (a small sample in this paper) are showing how best we can all benefit, starting with ensuring older people dignity, care, and -- critical -- the right to contribute, to be full participants in the “everyone a changemaker” world.
“Ashoka…nourishes itself on the nearly bottomless, practical think tank of its Fellows.” Harvard Magazine “It was decades ago when Drayton began identifying change agents…the greatest strength of social entrepreneurs…[is] in the way they connect people in new configurations and, in so doing, help people work together more efficiently, influencing their career or life pathways.” The New York Times “Having identified myself as a social entrepreneur was truly significant. It defined my role and gave me the security of belonging to a network of people with similar abilities and vocations.” Ximena Abogabir, Ashoka Fellow
