End Homelessness
Ashoka Fellow Lucky Chhetri
This organization has recognized the efforts of one women in Nepal by making her an esteemed Ashoka Fellow. Lucky Chhetri and her two sisters to challenge serious gender barriers in Nepal with their social enterprise by training young women to become adventure tour guides in the Himalayas. They earn their own money and therefore have economic independance and autonomy instead of relying on old patriarchal ways of arranged marriages and domestic unpaid labour.

Great!
I'm not in Ashoka, but I've seen Bill Drayton speak twice and both times were very inspiring.
The idea of everyone becoming a changemaker is very inspirational.
social entrepreneurship
although I am still somewhat new to Ashoka ( year now) I have found the resources and challenges presented very valuable to me as a go-to when learning what things are being done.
all too often I think our society in America equates traditional business with bottom-line being profit as not concerning social betterment...social entrepreneurship is the way to go! look at Grameen bank!
if more Organizations like Ashoka existed, I think we would have more and more social betterment focused business, providing goods and services that are better on target and more impactful.
Everyone a Changemaker
Full disclosure: I work at Ashoka :)
Ashoka believes in ideas and the individuals who make them a reality. Ashoka trusts social entrepreneurs to make the right kind of lasting change in their communities, with strategies that can be replicated across the world. It is hopeful, effective, and inspiring.
A Great Nonprofit
I used to work and Ashoka and it is now a partner with my nonprofit "Atlas Service Corps" which can be found at http://www.atlascorps.org
