Ashoka Fellows

Albina Ruiz:
Is building a public waste management system in Peru to increase sanitations and health conditions in the area. There is now a public education program and a trash removal service from public agencies.

Arbind Singh:
Gives urban poor in India access to markets through large, employee-owned and managed institutions—large enough to influence policy and be legitimation competitors in market. He has given unorganized poor access to financial services and technology and solicit business.

Siriam Ayer:
Creating a base for new "role models" or mentors for underprivileged children. He introduced the component of empathy in the existing system and bridged the gap between a child's perceived intelligence quotient and hidden emotional quotient. Thus he is changing the way education is perceived and delivered to low-income groups.
