Destination Changemakers is a project aiming at helping social entrepreneurs to scale up and maximize their social impact. After one year and a half of preparation in the UK and France, we will help social entrepreneurs in Asia and Africa during nine months, before coming back to France to share our experience to the general public.

JONAS
I am a student in a business school (ESCP Europe) and I am passionate about social
entrepreneurship and social business. This passion started during my internship with
the Centre for Social Innovation (CSI) of the Filipino NGO Gawad Kalinga. I discovered
there the potential of social entrepreneurship, that overcomes the potential of
humanitarian action. Indeed, through a sustainable business model, a social
entrepreneur can design sustainable solutions and integrate the communities in the
process.
I am currently having a six-month internship in consulting in sustainable development
at Doing Good Doing Well, and I am going to start next March another six-month
internship in microfinance at BNP Paribas. In addition to these professional
experiences, Destination Changemakers is for me a great source of inspiration.
MATTHIEU
I am a student in Master in Management at ESCP Europe and I have always been
involved in different social and environmental projects. I have above all founded and
directed the student society Star Trek’ ESCP Europe that aims at organizing an eco-
friendly event once a year. Passionate about this entrepreneurial experience,
concerned about social issues in the world, fascinated about innovation and willing to
make a difference, I am naturally attracted by social entrepreneurship.
I believe in the power of the enterprise to solve social and environmental issues at a
large scale. I would like to participate to the development of a new economic paradigm.
I have some experience in Socially Responsible Investment in London and in Human
Resources at Danone. I am currently having an internship at danone.communities : I am
working on the management of various communities to inspire, engage and connect
people in order to promote social business. I am sure that Destination Changemakers
will help me to figure out how to be become a Changemaker !

JUSTIN DE LA CRUZ, HAPPY GREEN
Justin is a smart Filipino business graduate. His inspiration started as he got
introduced with Gawad Kalinga, the most important NGO in the Philippines that
builds empowered, sustainable, and self-sufficient communities. Today, more than
2,000 "GK Villages" cover the country with a social impact estimated at one million
beneficiaries.
Justin observed there that the poor can overcome their poverty and form into a
community with a disciplined work ethic. This insight is what inspired Justin to found
Happy Green, with the center being the country’s neglected farmers. Happy Green
was created in 2010 and has now 5 regular employees.
The problem
Around a third of the Filipinos (more than 30 millions) live in poverty
About half of the population live in rural areas whereas almost 80% of the country’s poor people live there
Agriculture is the primary and often only source of income for poor rural people
Farmers think their jobs are of the lowest kind and that their children should pursue anything else, leading to
problematic rural exodus
The solution
Happy Green develops, prepares and bottles authentic farm-to-market
beverages. Residents of Gawad Kalinga communities are empowered to
take part in the entire design, development and distribution of these
countryside drinks.
Happy Green "romanticizes" the countryside and makes it attractive for
markets, customers and partners
Happy Green promotes green-collared work and provides communities
with jobs & training
Objectives for 2015
Scaling social impact : from 60 to 1000 direct and indirect
beneficiaries
Scaling the activity : development of the product portfolio
; industrialization of the company ; more communities
engaged (the opportunity is available to expand to the
other 23 GK Villages across the Philippines).

ASHMEET KAPOOR, JAGRITI AGRO TECH
Ashmeet graduated from Brown University, USA. He started Jagriti Agro Tech after
moving back to India from the US and traveling widely across India, which made it
clear that the precursor to rural development is financial stability and that agriculture
presents enormous opportunities to achieve that.
He believes that holistic rural development cannot begin until the rural economy
develops enough to provide respectable and sustainable livelihood opportunities.
Given that agriculture is the primary occupation, successful development in sectors
like education, health, and energy is directly or indirectly dependent on the success of
the agro-economy.
The problem
Farming Crisis: farming has become unsustainable economically for the small farmer, driving them into debt.
Marketing crisis: There is a 400-700% price hike on produce from farmer to the consumer. Supply chains
are fragmented with 5-7 intermediaries, who add little value. 40% of produce is wasted before reaching the
consumer due to various inefficiencies in supply chain. Planning between producers, buyers, and consumers is
non-existent.
Health and Environmental Crisis: increasing resistance of pests demands harsher pesticides with detrimental
effects on health and environment. Local products are on the verge of extinction because foreign, genetically
modified seeds have become the norm.
The solution
Jagriti Agro Tech supplies high quality, fresh, and affordable organic
produce through an efficient supply chain that connects farmers straight
to consumers thereby enhancing rural livelihoods,
incentivizing sustainable agriculture, and promoting socially
and environmentally-conscious produce.
The production of the farmers are planned according to the market
demand, providing the farmers an assured market and high prices for
their entire produce, and reducing post harvest losses.
Objectives for 2015
Scaling social impact : make benefit at least 1000 Indian
producers and their family to enjoy stable and fair prices ;
raising awareness about organic food in India
Scaling the activity : spread the production and the
distribution networks to other Indian regions

BERNARD GIROUD, SAFE
Bernard Giroud is a French engineer with a long experience in the milk industry.
Member of the « Association for the promotion of leaf concentrate for the
nutrition » (APEF), he is convinced that leaf concentrates are a revolutionary
low-cost food supplement to fight malnutrition at a large scale in the world.
Married to a Senegalese, he decides to go in Senegal to produce directly there
alfalfa and creates Safe Nutrition. After three years of experimentation that
enabled him to test his business model, the first leaf concentrates are planned
for January 2013.
The problem
Senegal is the 144th country for the Human Development Index ranking (above 169 countries).
Malnutrition is a major problem : 84% of children of less than 5 years suffer from anemia and 61% of women ;
61% of children of less than 6 years lack Vitamin A
NGO spend a lot of money to buy food supplements, that are often limited
The solution
Safe makes the rich components of green leaves available to humans
thanks to the extraction of the leaf concentrate.
Such an extraction already exists and has been sold since 1975, but was
usually produced in France and then exported to developing countries.
Bernard Giroud is developing a smart business model to produce
concentrates at a low cost to fight malnutrition and sell the fodder to
local farmers to finance his activity
Objectives for 2015
Develop the social impact : provide leaf concentrates to
100 000 malnourished ; inject some economic dynamism in
the region and have a positive impact on 100 local farmers
Develop the activity : grow the agricultural surface from 30
to 300 acres ; launch a second line of extraction

THE WORD OF OUR GODFATHER WHO IS ANTONIO MELOTO ?
Mr. Antonio Meloto, 61, is the Founding President of

the past 15 years, he has devoted himself to the fight

social businesses.
Antonio MELOTO, 27/11/11, in Paris Today, more than 2,000 "GK Villages" cover the
country with a social impact estimated at one million
beneficiaries. Tony has initiated the concept of the
"Enchanted Farm" (to prevent rural migration to urban
areas), and the first one out of 24 has just been
inaugurated by the President of the Republic of the
Philippines.
To achieve such ambitious objectives, Gawad Kalinga
promotes the concepts of "caring & sharing" and
involves a large number of people to support this
"Grand Cause", with no exceptions : young people,
previous "gang leaders", students, faculties, politicians
of all sides, employees, business leaders (including
Shell, Unilever, Philips, Coca-Cola, IBM, HP, Hyundai or
Air France-KLM), GK is now supported by an "army" of
25,000 regular volunteers and 1 million occasional
volunteers.
In fact, we can summarize the "GK Way" as a three-
step process: changing values within affected
communities, extensive public-private partnerships,
and massive volunteerism. The construction process
actually begins with a rebuilding of the values of the
community and the change of mindset of "rich" people
by building authentic relationships.
Tito Tony, is a remarkable example of
"transformational leadership" ; in 2009 he wrote
"Builder of Dreams", and he is also the recipient of
numerous awards, including the "Social Entrepreneur
of the Year" in 2010 in the Philippines by Ernst &
Young and the Schwab Foundation. As such, he will
be a guest-speaker in January 2012 at the "World
Economic Forum" in Davos.
