The document discusses a social business project in Poland called Mleczny Start that aims to reduce child malnutrition. It provides affordable dairy products to low-income families. The project is a partnership between Danone, a grocery chain, a dairy producer, and a medical institution. It has expanded distribution of its fortified milk product and increased sales and servings provided to low-income households. The partnership aims to continue these efforts and reduce child malnutrition rates in Poland through inclusive social innovation.
An odyssey through college, New York slums, domestic version of the peace corps, welfare, running a home for mental patients, land-lording, and writing.
Liberals historically favored more government intervention and social reforms while conservatives favored limited government and maintaining the status quo. However, meanings have changed over time. In the early 19th century, Jeffersonian liberals favored limited government but this became a conservative view in the 20th century. Hamilton's conservative view of an expanded government role later aligned with 1930s liberals. Between 1960-1975, liberals pushed for greater social changes while conservatives resisted sweeping reforms and sought to protect societal norms.
This document discusses a partnership in Poland called the Partnership for Health that was created in 2006 to address the problem of childhood malnutrition. The partnership includes Danone, Lubella, Biedronka, and an institute focused on mother and child health. Their goal is to reduce the number of malnourished children in Poland by making nutritious, affordable food options available in Biedronka stores. They developed a product called Mleczny Start (Milky Start) which provides healthy breakfast and lunch options for schoolchildren. Sales of Mleczny Start have increased significantly since 2007. The partnership aims to distribute their product exclusively through Biedronka stores across Poland in order to make nutritious food
Poverty is defined as the lack of basic needs like food, shelter, and clothing. It affects people's health, education, and hunger levels. To address poverty, efforts are being made to increase access to basic needs, remove barriers to services, control overpopulation, and increase income opportunities. Organizations working on poverty issues include the United Nations, Millennium Development Goals, and groups focused on ending child poverty and monitoring poverty levels.
2012 is the European year for active ageing. Over the next few decades, elderly people will continue to grow in number and continue to age. Our society must succeed in the challenge of healthy ageing. How? By keeping elderly people physically and mentally active for as long as possible thanks, in particular, to a suitable, high quality diet. These are the reasons for which the Louis Bonduelle Foundation develops activities for the elderly through a partnership with the National federation for rural retirement homes (MARPA).
Recent studies commissioned by UNICEF Kosovo show clearly that children are at significantly greater risk of poverty in Kosovo compared to the general population. Using the generally accepted consumption poverty line of €1.417 per person
per day, based on 2006/7 Household Budget Survey data, 46.2% of the Kosovo population is in poverty, whereas 48.6% of children aged 0-19 are in poverty. The highest risks of poverty are faced by children who live in households with three or more children; children aged 0-14; children of unemployed parents; children in households receiving social assistance; and children in households with low levels of education. Whilst the risk of poverty is lower for children where at least
one family member is employed, children in wage-earning households make up 36% of all children in poverty in Kosovo.
The document discusses the main causes of child poverty in Lancashire, including income-related poverty, worklessness, welfare dependency, health and educational disadvantages, family structure, and lack of social abilities. Child poverty rose in the 1980s and started declining in the 2000s. Income poverty has a huge effect, as working families on low incomes struggle to provide for their children. Children living in poverty face implications like long-term health issues and difficulties in education. The government needs new social policies and welfare reforms to better understand and address the causes of child poverty.

This is the latest instalment of the UNICEF Office of Research Report Card series, aimed at focusing on the well-being of children in industrialized countries. It considers two views of child poverty in member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD): a measure of absolute deprivation, and a measure of relative poverty.
The two measures, though separate in concept, highlight significant disparities in the living conditions of children. Of the countries surveyed, around 15% of children are considered “deprived” and a similar proportion live below their national poverty line.
This report card argues that accurate and timely monitoring of child poverty and deprivation is crucial for gauging what is happening to vulnerable children now. It argues that even during times of economic hardship, with the right evidence-based policies, it is possible to protect vulnerable children.
The document discusses child poverty and social exclusion in rural Wales. It notes that the cost of living is 20% higher in rural areas, with transportation costs being the largest factor. This leads to challenges in accessing services, employment opportunities, and social/leisure activities. As a result, children and young people in rural Wales experience social exclusion and are more at risk of bullying. The document questions how these inequalities in rural Wales can be overcome and how they may impact the goal of eliminating child poverty in Wales by 2020.

Roseveare investing in high quality early childhood education and care 1Deborah Roseveare
Early childhood education and care (ECEC) provides significant long-term economic and social benefits. It helps raise educational outcomes, leads to higher lifetime earnings, better health outcomes, and less risky behavior. Disadvantaged children stand to benefit the most from quality ECEC as it can help close gaps in abilities and skills before starting school. Investing in ECEC also supports parents, especially women, to participate in the workforce. Defining quality, governments and researchers look at structural inputs like staff qualifications and ratios as well as process factors like interactions and curriculum. Key policies to improve quality include regulations, curriculum standards, developing the workforce, engaging families, and using research and data.
Preferential Option for the Poor - Call to Action.pptJasperSuquila
This document discusses poverty and malnutrition in the Philippines through the stories of families struggling with these issues. It provides statistics on the prevalence of malnutrition, particularly in certain regions of the country. The church's response of having a preferential option for the poor is presented, which means seeing from the perspective of the poor, working with and for them, and having a church oriented towards serving the needs of the poor. Embracing the spirit of poverty and helping to vindicate the rights of the poor are key aspects of living out this preferential option.
RDC was created in 2009 and incorporated in Oregon in 2010 to apply for 501(c)(3) status in 2011. It collects discarded computers from colleges and universities and sends them to schools in the Philippines to support education programs for disadvantaged children. These programs teach computer skills and give access to technology. RDC's mission is to recycle educational materials to advance learning worldwide with a goal of making tools available to all, especially the indigent. Poverty in the Philippines remains high with lack of education perpetuating cycles of poverty. RDC aims to help break these cycles by providing education opportunities.

1. Poverty levels in Canada are difficult to determine as there is no single definition, but Statistics Canada provides low-income cut off levels (LICO) for different family sizes. Over 550,000 Canadians live on less than half the LICO.
2. Unemployment is a major cause of poverty, but many people in Toronto live in poverty while employed due to high costs of living. Food banks play a key role in helping over 148,000 children in Ontario each month who might otherwise go hungry.
3. Solutions proposed include increasing corporate social responsibility programs to fund initiatives, better utilizing existing food bank infrastructure, and addressing the root causes of unemployment that contribute to rising poverty levels.
1. Poverty levels in Canada are difficult to determine as there is no universally agreed upon definition. Statistics Canada uses a low-income cutoff (LICO) which varies based on family size and location. Food banks play a major role in helping those living in poverty by distributing food to over 148,000 children in Ontario monthly.
2. Unemployment is a major cause of rising poverty rates, as the cost of living continues to increase while wages for many low-income jobs remain stagnant. Immigrants and recent immigrants also face higher risks of unemployment and poverty.
3. Charitable initiatives and food banks have seen increased demand in recent years, suggesting poverty levels are growing. Over 400,000 Ontarians
Beroya Senior Secondary Construction Programberoya
our churches are based from rural setting communities and we have been for many years seeing our youths ending their studies in only primary schools and when it comes to secondary they most of them they do not go due to schools being in distances of 20-30 kilometers and many secondary schools are in urban areas which makes them very costly in terms of living expenses and even the school fees itself .
Therefore , we have come in with a solution of developing a senior secondary school for the helping the disadvataged youths to access that level of education .
the details are here attached and iam appealing to everybody who comes cross this information to recommend us to his friend and help us also to fund raise for the school.
This document summarizes poverty around the world in 3 paragraphs. Over 3 billion people live on less than $2.50 a day, and poverty negatively impacts access to food, health, education, employment opportunities, and adequate shelter. The government should provide rationed food, water, and necessities, host charity events, build more schools and homes to address poverty. Individuals can help by providing education, healthcare, sanitation, and economic opportunities to help prevent and end poverty.
The document discusses poverty in Pakistan. It defines poverty and notes that nearly 1/4 of Pakistan's population was classified as poor in 2006, though this fell to 17.2% by 2008. Major causes of poverty include lack of education, materialism, large-scale imports, weak moral culture, and division of agricultural land among heirs. Effects include increased disease and stress. Proposed solutions focus on ensuring basic rights like food, shelter and education, as well as land redistribution, caps on land for exports, transparency for large corporations, ending tax havens, and environmental reforms.
The document discusses poverty in Pakistan, defining it as a lack of resources to afford basic needs. It provides statistics showing that about 58.7 million Pakistanis, or 1/3 of the population, live below the poverty line, with the highest rates in Balochistan and Sindh. Common causes of poverty in Pakistan are identified as overpopulation, unemployment, lack of education, poor government policies, inflation, corruption, and political instability. The government has implemented some programs to address poverty but more efforts are still needed such as job creation and skills training.
This document discusses the challenges faced by low-income working families living in inner London. It provides statistics showing high rates of child poverty in inner London boroughs. It then discusses the lived experiences of these families based on interviews conducted by the non-profit 4in10. Many families struggle with high rents and costs of living, while wages are not keeping pace. Even for those with jobs, poverty rates remain high in both part-time and full-time working families in London. The families interviewed discussed difficulties with housing, managing finances, debt, and accessing healthy food. While London has experienced strong economic growth, this growth has not benefited all residents and has not reduced poverty rates for these inner city families.
The document discusses poverty, defining extreme poverty as living on less than $1.25 per day, affecting 1.4 billion people globally. It describes the Global Poverty Project's mission to end extreme poverty by 2030 and notes that being in extreme poverty means it is impossible to save money or take risks. Effects of poverty can include negative conditions, lack of access, underresourced schools, and greater risks of poor academic and health outcomes. An example is provided of a family living in poverty and homelessness for over a dozen years despite government assistance.
The number of single-parent families has increased across Europe to an average of 10.4% of families. Single parents, especially single mothers, face higher risks of poverty, lower employment opportunities, and difficulties combining work and childcare. As a result, children in single-parent households are also more vulnerable, with greater risks of living in poverty, poorer educational and health outcomes. However, these problems are not due to family structure alone, but also a lack of support through inflexible work policies, unequal gender roles, disparities in family benefits and insufficient shared parenting support after family breakdown. Policy measures are needed to address gender inequalities, increase childcare and flexible work options, support skills training and career development, and promote
This document summarizes a presentation on inclusive innovation for low-income emerging markets.

It provides context on the rationale and funding of public R&D systems and describes traditional R&D indicators like expenditures, publications, patents, and productivity. The presentation also examines frameworks for assessing R&D impacts on the economy and environment using indicators mapped to inputs, activities, outputs, and impacts. Key challenges in impact assessment are attribution, international effects, and long timescales between R&D and outcomes. The case of the Finnish innovation agency Tekes is presented.
The document provides an overview of Tampere, Finland, highlighting its history as an innovative city and economic hub. [1] Tampere has a population of 350,000 people and high levels of GDP per capita and R&D investments. [2] It has a history of manufacturing but is now focused on knowledge-based clusters in ICT, intelligent machinery, and healthcare technologies. [3] Examples are given of global market leaders based in Tampere's regions and the role of universities in collaborating with industry to drive innovation.
This document discusses business model innovation in the digital games industry and implications for policy. It examines how the Finnish games industry has grown through digital distribution platforms, virtual economies that allow user-generated content and microwork, and crowdfunding. However, these new models face regulatory hurdles around digital markets, virtual currencies, micro-employment, and crowdfunding. The author argues that policies are needed to support seamless digital markets, clarify rules on virtual currencies and microwork, and promote frictionless donations and micro-investments, as well as grassroots digital culture and gaming ecosystems.
The document discusses tools and frameworks for developing regional innovation hubs. It provides an overview of Hubconcepts' 20 years of experience analyzing over 200 science and technology parks. The Hubconcepts Innovation Hub Framework is presented as a tool to identify, analyze, and plan innovation hubs using "visual ecosystem profiles". Case studies of Otaniemi, Finland and other regions are analyzed to demonstrate how the framework can support the development of innovation hubs and activities. Hubconcepts offers services to support profiling and managing next-generation innovation hubs.
Nokia Research Center has a global network of research facilities across ten locations. It engages with leading institutions through strategic collaborations to multiply efforts and build global test beds. The Tampere facility collaborates locally through the Demola program with Tampere University of Applied Sciences to transform concepts into prototypes. This has resulted in over 900 student projects since 2009. The facility also collaborates with Tampere University of Technology via a joint research center with around 80 people, mainly PhD students. The facility produces publications, patents, prototypes that impact products, and generates publicity through various events, websites, and demonstration of concepts.
This presentation provides an overview of public research and development (R&D) systems, indicators to measure their impact, and Tekes' model for assessing R&D impact in Finland. It discusses the rationale for public R&D systems in addressing market and systemic failures. Common R&D indicators are outlined that measure inputs, activities, outputs and impacts across areas like the economy, environment and society. Tekes' impact assessment model is presented which links objectives, impacts, outputs, activities and inputs across different impact domains. Examples of indicators used to measure impacts on the economy and environment are also given.
Demola is an award-winning ecosystem that brings together students, companies, and universities to work on innovation projects. It operates centers in Tampere, Vilnius, and Budapest that bring multidisciplinary student teams together with corporate partners to develop demos for new products and services over 4 months. Companies benefit from accessing young talent and boosting their R&D process, while students gain real-world experience working with industry on inspiring challenges. Demola has facilitated over 200 projects with positive outcomes for both students and company partners.

11. Shifting private sector thinking about the poor:
the Danone Poland approach
„ ... Traditionally multinationals have focused their attention on the needs
of the affluent consumers of the developed world or at most the
aspiring middle classes in the developing world. But many examples
and other evidence points to an increasing opportunity for forward thinking
organizations to build interesting new businesses by focusing on the needs
of people with the lowest incomes.
/.../
The Bottom of the Pyramid thinking redefines the traditional
concept of who is a customer & who is not. To be able to capitalize on
the opportunities at the bottom of the pyramid we need to develop a wider
socially inclusive view of who our customers are in line with our concept of
Danone as creating both social and economic value.
/.../
Bottom of the pyramid social innovation challenges many of the
orthodoxies and conventions of our current way of thinking. The very fact
that we consider poor people as consumers challenges a convention that
low income people are not interesting.
/.../
Rather than just leaving the poor to the interests of government
and NGO social nets the evidence is that partnerships with social
sector organizations can create social and economic value.
/.../
Much of the success of projects in this area is about real insight
into the societies, cultures and lifestyles of different communities
