Each year, the Skoll Foundation recognizes a select group of social innovators who are driving transformative change on urgent societal challenges. The five recipients of the 2025 Skoll Awards for Social Innovation are a remarkable group of bold organizations that have designed groundbreaking solutions to improve the lives of millions of people around the world.

What unites our 2025 Awardees is their commitment to harnessing collective action to create a brighter future. This year, we are thrilled to recognize the contributions of:

@ApisHeritage is restoring the American Dream by helping low- and middle-income employees become owners of their businesses when sellers are ready to retire.

@join_chic is a global movement working to make professional the norm in community health—ensuring community health workers are salaried, skilled, supervised, and supplied to deliver quality care.

@EarthEnable​ improves the health and living conditions of rural African families by developing more affordable, sustainable housing materials.

Healthy Learners trains teachers as school health workers, increasing access to health services, reducing absenteeism, and enabling students to learn and thrive.

@PactoDemocracia (Pact for Democracy) is coordinating the pro-democracy movement in Brazil, facilitating a broad coalition that bridges ideologies and interests to counter autocratic forces.

These leaders are proving that we go further when we go together.

Did you know? A dirt floor costs far more than a sealed one — in clinic visits, missed school days, and lost workdays.

Families pay for it over and over. One EarthEnable floor ends that cycle. 🌍

No report can replace a mother telling you her children no longer fall sick from dust.

Did you know? EarthEnable doesn't import contractors, we train and certify local masons from the communities we serve. They mix, compact, and plaster — then graduate as certified masons. Then they build. 🙌🌍

#Kwibuka is not just a Rwandan observance. It is a reminder for all of us that remembrance is an act of responsibility.
We visited Ntarama today as a team — and we left more united. 🕯️

Unplastered mud walls are hiding grounds for jigger fleas, bed bugs, mosquitoes & dust mites. EarthEnable seals those gaps, no chemicals, no imports. Just earth, skill, and walls that actually protect families. 🌍

Dear Rwanda, as we commemorate for the 32nd time the Genocide against the Tutsi, we shed tears, we mourn, we remember, and we stand united in your continued renewal. Thirty-two years on, your light burns brighter than ever.

EarthEnable Rwanda trained mason teams across districts.

Upgraded skills → better work → stronger incomes → families taken care of. Job creation that compounds.
