ThinkImpact

ThinkImpact builds social businesses to end poverty. We host a 10-week Innovation Institute Scholars Program in rural Kenya and South Africa to take America's brightest young social entrepreneurs to live and work with community entrepreneurs to identify and develop social innovations. Our Scholars learn through an asset-based community development curriculum, and unleash the potential at the base of the pyramid creating jobs, products and services that change lives. Scholars are invited each year to compete for the ThinkImpact Fellowship through a social business plan competition. Fellows get mentoring and support in our 9-month Impact Incubator and a fully-funded fellowship to return to to the community for 1 year to build the social business with a community entrepreneur.
