Challenge 2017: Refugee - Reawakening the Human Potential India National Finals 2017
DEAR PARTICIPANTS, The 2017 Hult Prize "President's Challenge" is "Refugees - Reawakening Human Potential" and will focus on restoring the rights and dignity of people and societies who may be, or are forced into motion due to social injustice, politics, economic pressures, climate change and war. We will also work to restore the rights and dignity of those currently living in informal / illegal settlements. We believe young people and their collective wisdom is the only way forward. This challenge was selected by President Bill Clinton and announced at the 2016 Hult Prize Finals and Awards program New York. At the Hult Prize, we have made it our mission to find and fund start-up solutions to some of the world s most pressing issues. It is also our mission to raise and drive awareness to the opportunities that exist by servicing the world s poor through lasting, sustainable business. In the last seven years, we have seen some amazing things. We believe more than ever in the wisdom of the crowd and in you. We believe that social impact can come from anyone, anywhere not just corporate social relations departments of Fortune 500 companies, philanthropists and non-profit organizations. As we look to this year s challenge of reawakening human potential in relation to refugees, we ask you to use your broad networks and your knowledge of business, science and technology to develop breakthrough ideas that can be implemented to have lasting impact on our world. We believe that traditional NGOs are not the answer. It is time for a new generation of social enterprise to bring real change. Thank you for taking the time to participate in this year s Hult Prize, and congratulations for making it this far. It is my hope that irrespective of the outcome of the competition, this experience will lead to a new and better world for both you, the institutions you represent and the beneficiaries you aim to serve. On behalf of the entire Hult Prize team, welcome to the 8th annual Hult Prize. Good luck! Ewelina Janus Abhimanyu Abrol Lokesh Abrol India National Directors - Hult Prize Foundation INDEX: 1.
