Ashoka: Innovators for the Public is an international social sector organization that identifies, supports, and fuels the progress of social entrepreneurs - people who address the most pressing issues of our time with the most creative of solutions. These social entrepreneurs are leading the way to an entirely new innovative social sector that is growing faster than any other segment of the global economy. Ashoka's purpose is to help shape this vital sector to be more entrepreneurial, productive, and globally integrated.
