Our network of Fellows, staff alumni, young changemakers, and more are shifting policies, markets, and mindsets. Scroll to dive into more insights!
🤲 Across the globe, family carers provide long-term care for loved ones who have disabilities or chronic illnesses. Yet their work is unpaid and invisible, forcing many to sacrifice income and education.
💞 Ashoka Fellow Anil Patel helps family carers – mostly women and girls – in India, Bangladesh, and Nepal build community, gain financial stability, and more.

🏥 In Rwanda, public hospitals don't provide meals as part of patient care, forcing low-income patients to skip meals or spend up to 75% of their daily income to buy it.
🍽️ Ashoka Fellow Isabelle Kamariza created a farm-to-fork system to deliver free, medically tailored meals to patients in hospitals.

Ashoka and GlobeScan's latest global survey of 8,000 employees reveals a crucial insight: Workforces are an untapped asset in accelerating corporate impact and truly 'walking the talk'. Employees are eager to contribute but often lack the supportive environment and opportunities to do so.
Join us for a conversation on how to close this gap effectively.
🔍 What we’ll cover:
· Enablers and barriers to impactful work straight from companies’ perspectives.
· The business case for engaging employees in impact work, including improved retention, better innovation, and stronger resilience.
· Hear from Boehringer Ingelheim and Kersia on their strategies to activate employees and close the gap.
