Ashoka is the global association of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs—men and women with system changing solutions for the world’s most urgent social problems. Since 1981, Ashoka has elected over 2000 leading social entrepreneurs as Ashoka Fellows, providing them with living stipends, professional support, and access to a global network of peers in more than 60 countries.

Ashoka Fellows inspire others to adopt and spread their innovations—demonstrating to all citizens that they too have the potential to be powerful changemakers and make a positive difference in their communities.

The Philippines has a long tradition of a strong civil society that is willing to tackle the most difficult social problems.  By identifying and supporting the best and most effective ideas on the ground, Ashoka Philippines hopes to help maintain the strength and vibrancy of the Philippine citizen sector. With the increased involvement of business in social issues, Ashoka is also uniquely poised to bring the two sectors together towards true innovation and social change for the country.
