Chow: The e-Marketplace Where Food Wins
Submitted By niedf001, Yesterday |
Team Name : Chow
University : Carlson School of Management, University of MN
Country : United States

Chow provides a sustainable business solution, bringing together farmers and food producers with their customers through an on-line, auction-based marketplace. Chow’s mission is to be “The e-Marketplace Where Food Wins.” Chow will be known worldwide as the eBay of food, with a particular forte in locally grown food. Chow’s value proposition is that it will serve as an intermediary to link food sellers (e.g., farmers, food manufacturers, commercial food networks and distributors that aggregate food for larger scale operations) with food buyers (e.g., commercial food networks and distributors and small businesses that purchase food for their products such as restaurants and cooperatives, and individuals). Chow will be measured with all aspects of a true triple-bottom lined, blended-return business: social and economic development for sellers in rural communities, and for emergency food networks to access to recovered food; financial rewards for the company; and environmental returns for buyers and society through reduced CO2 emissions and reduced pollution from transportation. Chow expands a well-proven on-line business model into the new segment of locally grown food. Chow has a vision to change agri-commerce so food sellers have easy access to markets. Chow has a competitive advantage by selling food on-line in an e-market, ensuring the link of food sources to their consumers and eliminating the currently confusing, time-consuming and ineffective web of channels to bring these markets together. This business model will provide a free marketplace for buyers and charge fees to sellers for listing and selling products

The Safe Water Project
Submitted By kanyamanoj, Yesterday |
Team Name : Duke-UNC SWP Team
University : Duke University
Country : United States

The heart of the Safe Water Project lies in Vengal village in the Thiravallur District of Tamil Nadu, India . In 2004, diagnostic camps conducted by the Rural Development Center (RDC) in Vengal revealed that 46% of the population was infected with Entamoeba Histolytica, E-Coli, and Whipworm. However, the problem is not as clear as the numbers. The tremendous disease burden in Vengal village is implanted in a vicious reiterative cycle of gender inequality, poor education, and inaccessibility to clean water.

Traditional water treatment programs, including those targeting women and schools, overlook the cultural norms of female subordination and circumstances of poverty that shape educational opportunities.
The Safe Water Project acts on two powerful ideas:
1. A sustainable solution to inaccessibility to clean water and adequate sanitation must extend beyond a biomedical treatment and address the social and cultural context.
2. Harnessing the passions of young people is the most effective method of bringing innovative and rigorous solutions to intricate problems.
The Safe Water Project has mobilizesd American students to raise money through innovative fundraising techniques s and to directly visit Vengal to initiate programs promoting school attendance and greater hygiene practices. In the 2009-2010 school year, the Safe Water Project has created a collaborative cross-campus effort at Duke University and UNC Chapel Hill to address the root causes of poor water and sanitation--gender inequality, poor education, crumbling infrastructure, lack of resources, and lack of public awareness.
The Safe Water Project aims to give Duke and UNC students the transformative opportunity to implement self-designed social change models as the bedrock for a sustainable, grassroots approach to community water treatment.

I-DEV International: Building Sustainable Businesses at the Base of the Pyramid (BoP)
Submitted By idevinternational, Yesterday |
Team Name : I-DEV International
University : New York University, Stern
Country : United States

I-DEV International (www.idevinternational.com) envisions a world in which underprivileged communities in developing countries are empowered to lift themselves out of poverty. Local communities should not be relegated to subsistence farming or begging, but should have the opportunity to acquire skills and resources to compete in and benefit from the global marketplace.

I-DEV International provides full service management & financial advisory services to the Base of the Pyramid (BoP) with the intention of using philanthropic and CSR dollars more effectively to improve the lives of the world’s poor. I-DEV takes a radically different approach to economic development, employing for-profit principles and practices to solve humanity’s greatest problems. I-DEV partners with corporations and NGOs to deploy economic resources, business expertise and develop local human capital in a way that enables impoverished communities to build competitive businesses that create sustainable value for both the community and the investor. These businesses empower the poor by creating long-term, respectable livelihoods.

I-DEV provides a nexus for corporations, NGOs, governments, and communities to identify and execute projects that create value for all. I-DEV achieves this advantage through a combination of unique characteristics:
- Unparalleled team of senior managers, each of which possess combined experience in traditional business (private equity, consulting or banking, plus professional graduate degrees) and grassroots non-profits
- Streamlined service offerings from project planning to implementation
- Performance-based compensation structure (internally and partner/community-focused), which is tied to tangible, quantifiable metrics
- Use of aligned incentives to engage and attract committed, motivated local entrepreneurs

CO-Fund - America’s College Opportunity Fund
Submitted By cvsimmon, Yesterday |
Team Name : CO-Fund
University : Brown University
Country : United States

The CO-Fund mission is to facilitate the funding of higher education for deserving, college-ready students. CO-Fund enables anybody to sponsor student’s college education through online, face-to-face profiles. Donors help students to afford and graduate from college and become a part of their social mission to “pay it forward” after graduation. We have developed an efficient, accessible, and personalized approach that empowers both donors and students by aggregating direct, peer-to-peer donations of as little as one dollar, 100% of which go to the students. Started by Cody Simmons in the fall of 2009, the CO-Fund team is now comprised of nine talented entrepreneurial Brown students that have the shared vision of leveraging the power of micro-donations to benefit students and their communities.

CO-Fund is launching its public website in the Spring of 2010 under the fiscal sponsorship of Rhode Islanders Sponsoring Education (RISE). CO-Fund has also received $5,000 in pro bono legal services from the law firm Partridge Snow & Hahn LLP, and is also working with the accounting firm Batchelor, Frechette, McCrory, Michael & Co. CO-Fund is currently a start-up, non-profit organization that is launching with students from Rhode Island to demonstrate the effectiveness of its approach before scaling to work with additional partners and communities nationwide.

Triumph of Spirit: Sports, Language and Leadership with Hill tribe youth in Chiang Rai, Thailand
Submitted By meixi, Yesterday |
Team Name : The Amber Initiative
University : Northwestern University
Country : United States

The Amber Initiative has been working closely with the hill tribe people in Thailand that have been marginalized for centuries. Amber is working with Blessing Home, a youth hostel currently serving 60 Lahu youth and children, to increase English and Mandarin proficiency for the students in the surrounding areas, especially students that have no opportunity to continue education in their villages. Through enhancing the programs in Blessing Home, we envision this to be a center of choice for quality linguistic skill development as well as extracurricular activities such as music and sports. Using Blessing Home’s current space as a center for these programs, Amber is working with the local leadership in the area to reach out to even more hill tribe youth in Chiang Rai, in particular youth that have been forced into marriage at an early age. Thus this program is three-fold: 1) Critical language development, 2) Extra curricular development through sports and music and 3) Educational resources and classes for young women who are married as there currently exists no programs for them.

Pamphlets with a Purpose
Submitted By PWAP2010, Yesterday |
Team Name : Itcha
University : University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign
Country : United States

The mission of Pamphlets with a Purpose (PWAP) is to teach hygienic practices through pictures. PWAP will target those in slums and educate them on these practices. We would like to use pictures instead of text for people who are uneducated and are unable to read and write. This will give them an opportunity to help themselves and their families stay healthy and safer from common diseases, which can be avoided by practicing proper hygiene. Each PWAP will have a step-by-step visual guide on how to live a more hygienic lifestyle. The pamphlet topics will cover proper defection practices, sanitation of household materials, oral hygiene, hand-washing techniques, and grooming practices. Let’s take oral hygiene as an example. First, we would develop a systemic approach to proper hygiene by getting in contact with a dentist. After perfecting the basic steps, we would create a pamphlet with several pictures. The first picture would show a child with bad teeth. Then we would have another picture with him grabbing a toothbrush and toothpaste, or something similar that would be available in their village. The third picture would be of the child putting the toothpaste on his toothbrush and the rest of the pictures would continue onto the progression of proper oral hygiene. Each PWAP would be a concise and detailed picture guide for proper hygiene, allowing anyone to be able to adapt the practices.

Microlending through Gaming and SMS
Submitted By nicolejulia, Yesterday |
Team Name : MicroText against Poverty
University : Columbia University
Country : United States

SMS Microlending will combine the life-changing potential of microloans with the convenience of SMS fundraising and the addictive fun of online social gaming. Websites like Kiva.org have already demonstrated the efficacy of online microlending. As of November 6th, 2009, Kiva has lent $100 million to 250K entrepreneurs through 587K lenders. In addition, the outpouring of charitable contributions to combat the devastation in Haiti has demonstrated that SMS donations can raise significant capital. The Red Cross alone has collected over $8 million in the span of just two days through $10 SMS donations.

Combining these two concepts is a natural step in the evolution of online and mobile social entrepreneurship. However, we aim to take the idea in a radically different direction by adding the entertainment and incentives of social gaming. By themselves, the top five social games on Facebook.com net over 50 million active users per month. Capturing just a tiny fraction of the Internet’s social game market would be sufficient to support this endeavor.

Add the power of college competition and the sky is the limit! Imagine two rival universities, pitted against each other in a race of goodwill as school pride fuels a battle of fundraising. Who can send the most texts or get the highest scores to raise capital for budding entrepreneurs?

While we believe that people are intrinsically charitable and kind, appealing to their desire for entertainment and socialization adds a significant incentive to the purely altruistic.

Africa Start-Up
Submitted By davis72, Yesterday |
Team Name : Africa Start-Up
University : Seattle University
Country : United States

Africa Start-Up provides business training to microfinance recipients in Malawi, Africa to provide permanent solutions to extreme poverty and unemployment. Its goal is to supply the know-how to create sustaining businesses, double personal incomes, and increase collaborative trust, transparency and accountability for entrepreneurs living in the sixth poorest country in the world. With a social entrepreneurship framework, Africa Start-Up is building a coalition of students, professors, business professionals, non-profit experts and government stakeholders around the world to address the issue of high unemployment (over 85% nationwide) and extreme poverty in Malawi. Africa Start-Up is inspired by study and application of Seattle University economics/marketing student, Christina Davis, after working with microloan recipients and initiated a business training pilot program in Malawi in 2009.




She learned Malawian entrepreneurs will travel nearly half-a-day to learn how to grow small business expansion. Success means survival. Africa Start-Up fills the gap by providing both financial stimulus and educational support. University of Malawi business school students will teach bi-weekly classes; Seattle University’s Students-In-Free-Enterprise (SIFE) and Beta Alpha Psi chapters will consult with microenterprise owners live during classroom webinars. Upon completion, students will earn a $100+ loan through a local microfinance institution and join a broad social network of business owners. This program will supply models for similar efforts throughout Africa.

Start-Up solutions, Start-Up success…Africa Start-Up!

Supporting education and enterprise in Sierra Leone
Submitted By crispian, Yesterday |
Team Name : Planting Promise
University : University of Cambridge
Country : United Kingdom

Founded in 2008 by a student and a Sierra Leonean, Planting Promise is a community-based organization, whose mission is to create sustainable enterprise in Sierra Leone to support educational projects. By developing locally conceived and administered businesses, our charity provides free education to over 600 children. Additionally, our businesses empower the people of Sierra Leone by offering wealth, employment and prospects: and through these, genuine economic and human development.

OUR LOCATIONS:

We currently run 3 primary schools in Sierra Leone, educating a total of 600 children, in addition to an adult education course teaching basic literacy and vocational skills to a class of 50 women. Teachers are locally recruited and qualified, and will soon be assisted by volunteer experts from the UK, so improving the quality of the schooling we deliver.

However we don’t believe you help people by making them dependent. So instead of foreign funding, our schools are funded by our businesses, promoting growth in the Sierra Leonean economy. We farm 1200 acres of rice and cassava, and run 2 food-processing units and an internet café in Freetown, reinvesting all profits back into the organization.


OUR STRUCTURE:


WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT:

We provide a free and otherwise inaccessible education to street children and subsistence farmers

We are 100% sustainable – our businesses pay for all running costs

We already have a proven record of success after operating for less than two years

All our activities are vetted and administered by a team of experienced local professionals

eCommerce for Everyone
Submitted By CodyKumar, Yesterday |
Team Name : Bazari Mobile
University : Brigham Young University
Country : United States

In the developed world individuals and entrepreneurs have been able to take advantage of the internet to expand their reach to customers through new products and services. In the developing world fewer individuals have access to the internet and entrepreneurs have been limited in their scope and reach. However, where the internet is failing to make in-roads, mobile phones are taking off; now reaching nearly 4.6 billion phones globally.

Bazari will provide individuals and entrepreneurs in developing countries (initially India) the advantages of eCommerce through a text-message based platform. Through the platform customers can browse, purchase, pay, and arrange delivery for products; similar to shopping on eBay or Amazon, but all done via text messaging.

VALA: The Informal Market Connects
Submitted By edelmac, Yesterday |
Team Name : VALA
University : Harvard University
Country :

VALA connects consumers to anything they want from street vendors and service providers in urban India. We’re like Yelp, Yellowpages, and a delivery service packed into one, but proactively bringing together consumers and the informal market.

If a consumer wants anything---from a plumber to an electrician to a haircut or a rickshaw ride—we find it. Through a simple SMS, a consumer can request any deliverable good or service. VALA then identifies the best available vendor to meet this request and connects them to the consumer to deliver and complete the transaction. The consumer then rates the vendor based on speed, quality, and price, allowing VALA to continually refine its database of vendors.

We’re jumping on the back of huge trends in India: (1) mobile phones are in the hands of the nearly everyone in urban India. And (2) millions of young people are moving to new cities. They need services, but don’t know where to find them.

We make our money on tiered fees to vendors, targeted advertisement, and data aggregation. And we promise to increase the market activity of informal street vendors--some of India’s poorest entrepreneurs.

Bridging the Digital Divide for the Hispanic Americas
Submitted By rbenet, Yesterday |
Team Name : Bridge for the Digital Divide (BftDD)
University : University of Texas at Austin
Country : United States

Imagine trying to find and keep a job if you don’t own a car. NOW imagine the same thing if you don’t even know how to drive. The only jobs available would be the ones within walking distance of a bus line – where driving skills weren’t needed. You couldn’t even deliver pizzas! No wonder the opportunities for those who don’t own an internet connected computer (or worse, are computer illiterate) are so bleak. They aren’t on the information superhighway; they're left at the curb as knowledge workers get on the on-ramp.

US Census stats say that 56.6% of Hispanic households (calculating to a 43.4% penetration rate) do not have internet access at home -- the worst percentage of any race/ethnicity. Furthermore 53.7% of unemployed individuals and 66.8% of individuals not in the workforce are without internet access at home. And internet penetration is only 24.8% in Mexico, 22% in Central America, and 34.7% in South America.

Bridge for the Digital Divide (BftDD) is a non-profit effort dedicated to using for-profit business methods and a cutting edge business model to better accomplishing its mission of (1) maximizing the amount of computers, internet access, and training it can donate in the Hispanic Americas, and (2) achieving rapid and financially self self-sustainable growth.

Golden Wheel
Submitted By shm048, Yesterday |
Team Name : GoldenWheel
University : Bharati Vidhyaapeeth College of Engineering
Country : India

“I carry people and their goods to and fro; I spend my energy in the heat or the biting cold to save their energy, time and money. I only wish they treated me with some respect. I want to live without the fear of loosing my rickshaw and my livelihood”

3-5 lakh men pull cycle-rickshaws everyday to earn their living, and about 10 lakh people’s livelihood depending on them. These men work in oppressive conditions pulling loads and people well beyond their capacity. Most of them do not own their cycle-rickshaws and pay exorbitant rents. Moreover, they work in the unorganized sector and are frequently harassed by cops, local mafia and even customers. They have no social security and healthcare options. They are a high risk group, vulnerable to disease and suffering.

Seeking to address these issues, the idea is to provide them with an alternative source of revenue and raise their level or awareness and civic responsibility. Golden Wheel also plans to use this enormous human capital as green messengers. Regularizing their services will also strengthen last mile connectivity and serve to increase the efficiency of mass transit systems in urban India. Golden Wheel will bring these cycle-rickshaw pullers into the organized sector and try to provide them basic amenities.
The model is scalable and can be implemented throughout the city and in other cities of India. The outcomes will be addressing human rights issues and dignity of labour. The innovation has strong socio-economic benefits and financially, it is self sustaining.

WaterUnlimited
Submitted By shm048, Yesterday |
Team Name : Prakrit
University : Bharati Vidhyaapeeth College of Engineering
Country : India

Our idea is focused on solving water problems in India, using rainwater harvesting as a solution, by reaching out to different kinds of people and interacting with them in the way they understand best, by showing them their benefits in being a part of this movement.

In the first phase of the project, a web portal will be launched which will provide the basic know-how of water problems, rainwater harvesting, a rainwater calculator and installation techniques. The client may even hire a consultant from our consultant network or try implementing solutions themselves.

It is important that those who are planning cities, buildings and homes for us have a good knowledge about water issues and relevant technologies. To achieve this, training workshop programs will be organized to educate architects, civil engineers and urban planners about rainwater harvesting ideas and solutions to enable them to incorporate the same into projects that they undertake in their future. This will result in a value addition to their projects and also make them socially responsible professional.

Throughout the two phases awareness regarding water crises will be created by displaying and popularizing the website at events, exhibitions and expos. Free seminars at schools and colleges will be conducted to attract youngsters to this issue.

In the final stage a robust and rigorous model for domestic rainwater harvesting will be developed using expertise and experience. Once built, it is expected that the models will guide formulation of public policy for rainwater harvesting. At the consumer level, we will acquire rainwater harvesting rights from home owners by paying a fee. The fee will be paid by utilizing subsidies. The rainwater will be channelled to underground storage facilities. This water will be supplied back to the community during water shortages or as per need as a paid service.

Project Green Light
Submitted By AriffMunshi, Yesterday |
Team Name : Green Light
University : National University of Singapore
Country : Singapore

The rise of electrical sciences in the late 19th century drove the world towards the 2nd industrial revolution resulting in huge economic growth that has changed the world ever since. However, more than 100 years on, there are many that still lag behind.
Not known to many, at least 1.6 billion people do not have access to electricity for lighting, refrigeration, mechanical power, telecommunications and other beneficial uses. This represents almost 25% of the world’s population. Having access to electricity can reap huge social and economic benefits. Extending reliable energy to the world's poor is crucial to encouraging economic progress and improving social welfare in developing countries. In light of rising global greenhouse gas emissions, achieving energy goals in a way that is environmentally sustainable is also essential.
Our idea is to start by empowering rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa with electricity. Sub-Saharan Africa is blessed with an abundance of irradiation of sunlight which can be harnessed and converted to useful electricity by means of solar photovoltaic panels. However, such devices are expensive and the technological barrier of entry to such locations is high. Hence, the idea is to also incorporate a financial model to finance the implementation of solar power to these areas.
This can indeed become a reality by connecting the financial mechanism of carbon trade with corporate and private social responsibility together. To achieve this, we are in the process of inventing a device that will make such a project more cost effective.

Imagine a relative of yours needing immediate medical help but his/her life is slipping out of control because of a traffic jam hindering the movement of the ambulance you and your relative is in. With things around us becoming smarter and smarter we need traffic too to follow the trend.

My idea proposes a smart traffic network which keeps all ambulances informed of where traffic jams are and alternative routes to avoid them. Using traffic patterns/concentrations, satellite signals, GPS and other audio/video signals a potentially life saving decision can be made by the driver.
