Bravo
K1: In 1999 Jamii Bora starts up a worldwide
revolution - the first microbank to put all transaction records on mobile thus bringing
down costs of serving end-slum networkers- what microcredit designs were
previously thought possible only in village mothers networks (eg Bangladesh).
we now see how gangs of youth can be heroes of urban regeneration. In
K2 Kenya's firsts in banking-for-the-bottom-billion
progress through JB to mpesa/safari (cashless banking apart from last mile) to kiva
zip, to nanocredit inventor Julian Kyula- winner of 2013's IBM Entrepreneur of
the Year award; NY patient capital funds like Acumen have also been inspired
out of Kenya. 2013's report on mobile money for the unbanked reveals: there are
now 60 million cashless banking accounts, with majority in sub-saharan
K3 Ingrid Munro founded Jami Bora (JB) in her
retirement after a professional life serving UN Habitat and a personal devotion
to serving orphans. So at the Kaputei
branch of Jamii Bora (JB) just outside

K5 Years before Kenya's youth star is born, the
social business pop group TheGreenChildren can be found celebrating with Ingrid;
the joyful cluetrain rolls on in New York with Monica Yunus' singforhope and
the UN's fashion4development offering celebrities unprecedented reach to
grassroots movements including those tha US-Africa and US-Muslim millennials
value most. Seattle Indonesia
K6 Kenya's youth ihubs design ushahidi software ("twitter plus GPS") - so that in Kenya, youth action networking ranges from helping to end riots caused by politics of elders to open sourcing solutions with youth wizards around worldwide exchanges of collaboration entrepreneurial revolution. As The Economist foresaw in 1984: the net generation can be defined as that which searches for 10 times more economic value in collaboration between peoples than competition over things
K7 The Bridges primary schooling system (goal
to serve 10 million poorest children by 2023) becomes one of the fastest
growing, effective and economical on the planet
E1 Beaming knowledge to everyone:
E2 Ethiopian's coop farmer structure provides
one of the 2 loci (farmers & spiritually/consciously linked
customer communities) that whole truth value chains are composed round. They need to take
back (as the French would say "entrepreneur") most of the 90% of costs caused by middlemen. For how, see DC's
Inauguration of the US Africa Diaspora summit June 2014
A1 The continental satellite tv broadcaster
africa24tv aims to search out good news of industry leaders trying to develop
sector self-sufficiency by and for africans;
A2/K8 Africa24tv's co-founder was inspired by
Mo Ibrahim - the first mobile telecoms billionnaire to sell out of telecoms
(cellnet anchored around Kenya
A3/K9 MIT team linkin with Mpesa's tech wizard
NIck Hughes so that cashless banking can come to Bangladesh Africa and across girl effect networks - like Mastercard Foundation in Uganda Tanzania
A4 Partners in Health worldwide intervention in
developing a drug for HIV taught Jim Kim why and how to rework Porter's Value
Chain maps from top-down to bottom-up. Without Africa 's urgent need the World Bank
wouldn't be emerging today as leader of pro-youth economics
A5 Enjoy the web hosting of the UN's Global
Partnership with Youth GPY2015 is staged by the ITU led by African IT activist Dr
Hamadoun Toure
A6 Monitor Yunus partnership with the African
Development Bank as an incubation network of young social business
entrepreneurs is launched starting out of Tunisia Uganda .

SA1 Back in 1999,
SAE1 Blecher partners with Maharishi
-curriculum of Empowerment
SAE2 Blecher partners with Branson - curriculum
of Entrepreneurship and Bteam and Mandela Elders reconciliation methods. This
good news celebration came about after Branson's TV reality Apprenticeship
discovered Sara Blakely as its Social winner. She not only linked Branson in
with Blecher but has become Atlanta
SAE3 Blecher partners with google -whose curriculum of E-includes offering free
web site to South African small enterprises that host youth apprenticeships
YEEES: with the approval of the South African
government Youth Entrepreneur curricula are now being extended to 14 million
school children with the goal of creating one million jobs by 2020
SA2 Cape Town Oct 2014 hosts the Youth Nobel
Laureate summit -a best for the world chance for African Millennials to train
up to social action networking Mandela's
legacy
SA3 Cape Town youth also motivated George
Soros' 1978 transformation into a philanthropist. Structurally his last 35
years of investments have focused on open society and ineteconomics.org -
rethinking economics from the ground up. Practically it was Soros who provided
Yunus the funding that started Grameen Phone- ensuring the pro-poor focus of
Bangladesh's first mobile telecoms network.
SA4 Rewind the world to 1906 and it was South Africa
"The inventor of a
completely new and humane means for the liberation war of an oppressed country,
and practised it with greatest energy and devotion. The moral influence he had
on the consciously thinking human being of the entire civilized world will
probably be much more lasting than it seems in our time with its overestimation
of brutal violent forces. Because lasting will only be the work of such
statesmen who wake up and strengthen the moral power of their people through
their example and educational works." Alfred Einstein.
The whole concept of Satyagraha (Satya is truth which equals love, and agraha is force; Satyagraha, therefore, means
truth force or love force) was profoundly significant to me. As I delved deeper
into the philosophy of Gandhi, my skepticism concerning the power of love
gradually diminished, and I came to see for the first time its potency in the
area of social reform. ... It was in this Gandhian emphasis on love and
nonviolence that I discovered the method for social reform that I had been
seeking. Martin Luther King
ROA1 Rest of Africa- space doesn't permit me to
begin to do justice to this wondrous youth continent but if ever there were to
be an election for premier under 25 changemaker, I would vote for Ola Orekunrin whose star-spangled livelihood to
date has navigated British and Japanese medical schooling to found Nigeria's
Flying Doctors, and caused the founder of MIT's entrepreneurial curriculum at
Sloan Management School to leap out of his chair with glee.
