Featured Testimonial


"I volunteered to help write award nominations for Ashoka Fellows in Nigeria and Malawi. Due to my interest in Africa, I was encouraged to reach out to Bart Weetjens, a Fellow in Tanzania, founder of APOPO, an organization which trains African rats to detect landmines and early-stage Tuberculosis. I am now working with him in Tanzania assisting him with donor support for the APOPO project HeroRATS. I hope to deepen my understanding of the citizen sector and learn more about how partnerships between public, private and social enterprises can play a part in creating sustainable solutions to the problems of our time."
