1. The What-ifs listed in the video are:

What if we could help 7 million people see?

What if we could bring renewable energy to more than 1 billion people without electricity?

What if football could lift people out of homelessness? What if we could eliminate mother-to-child transmissions?

What if technology could reconnect refugee families? What if technology could connect refugees to job markets?

What if access to healthcare, a safe home, mobility, healthy foods, education, clean air, fair wages, digital access, security, art, public space, leisure, drinkable water, was equal to all?

2. In my opinion, the what-ifs are the possibilities and outcomes that the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship is trying to achieve by turning them into reality through tearing down barriers and building communities, connecting technology and AI in third-world countries, and providing access to basic necessities such as food, water, and accommodation to the needy.

3. The social innovators of Schwab Foundation have built a sustainable culture of peace by activating ecosystems and developing capacities to empower a new generation to step up as protagonists in building a culture of peace in Colombia, strengthening public health and welfare systems for adolescents and youths through participatory processes in India, harnessing the transformative power of AI to tackle food insecurity, climate change, and food safety to support small-scale farmers and democratize access to justice and ensure most marginalised people can access their legal rights. In addition, these social innovators have taken community-centric approaches to development by providing solutions to the needs of orphans, including coming up with programmes for education, health, and sexual and gender-based violence. Generally, 891 million lives were directly improved by the social innovators of the Schwab Foundation. The team of value-driven, inclusive, entrepreneurial individuals who reimagine social and economic systems to be more inclusive of people and the planet has generated $902 million in revenue and created 28,000 jobs in the last 3 cohorts, as well as mobilized $1.2 billion in resources.

2. The 'What ifs' mentioned are global problems Schwab Foundation is looking to impact and solve to make everyone's lives equal / fair.

4. The Schwab Foundation has made a significant impact on the community of social innovators through:

Improving Lives: The foundation awardees have directly improved about 891 million people as of 2022 and these social innovators usually focus on creating positive change by re-imagining social and economic systems to be more inclusive and sustainable

Resource Mobilization: The surveyed awardees have mobilized $1.2 billion in the resources to support their initiatives which includes the funding partnerships and other forms of support (e.g., Deloitte, SAP, etc.)

Revenue Generation: The 3 cohorts of awardees had generated a total of $902 million of revenue which shows that their model prioritizes purpose and profit --> social and environmental progress can be economically viable

Creating Jobs: The same 3 cohorts had directly created 28,000 jobs, which helped to boost the local economies and livelihoods.

Instilled trust: With their impact by far, they have garnered a large trust base of which 90% of the survey respondents in regards to their 2024 Impact report, have high or very high trust in the community and the remaining 73% have collaborated with fellow awardees.

Through these impacts, their further goals for 2024, are to empower agencies, re-imagine their models, and leverage local ecosystems for further sustainable solutions. Currently, they are looking into AI, and based on one of the news articles, 'the Schwab Foundation’s Global Alliance for Social Entrepreneurship has launched a new landmark initiative on AI for Social Innovation, co-initiated by Microsoft and supported by EY', has a main goal to show the communities that AI and technology can benefit them and they will be having practicians instil in the place for responsible use of technology.

The 2024 Schwab Foundation Social Innovation Awards recognize 16 organizations, joining a global community of 477 change-makers directly improving the lives of 891 million people.

Social innovators are key to rebuilding trust in society. They are values-driven, inclusive leaders who harness the best in humanity to develop new models to better achieve social and environmental outcomes.

The Schwab Awards celebrate social innovation spanning grassroots organizations, major corporations, public sector institutions and collective initiatives.

Violent conflict, rising geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty and mounting climate fears have triggered a dangerous breakdown in trust. In today's polarised world it is easy to lose sight of our shared humanity - yet the need for better ways to make societies more inclusive, equitable and sustainable has never been more urgent.

This year, the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship has awarded 16 organizations for their social innovation. These organizations offer hope at a time when faith in leadership is in decline worldwide. They show how innovative approaches to deep-seated problems can deliver transformation in areas such as healthcare and education, finance and law, the empowerment of women and young people, poverty alleviation, and countering the effects of climate change.

For a quarter of a century, the Schwab Foundation has provided a global platform to accelerate outstanding models of social innovation, and the 2024 awardees join an existing community of 477 champions whose collective work have improved the lives of 891 million people since 1998.

Over the last three years alone, the 64 organizations conferred with Schwab Awards have created $902 million of economic value for their communities.

The benefits are being felt from rural villages in Africa to megacities in Asia and Latin America to under-privileged parts of North America and Europe. Globally, social innovators are today implementing their high-impact models in over 190 countries, guided by the principle of putting purpose before profit.

The award winners for this year are honoured across four categories:

Social Entrepreneurs: Employ innovative, market-based approaches to directly address social issues.

Public Social Innovators:Leaders in the public sector in government or in international organizations who harness the power of social innovation to create public good through policy, regulation, or public initiatives.

Corporate Social Innovators: Leaders within multinational or regional companies who drive the development of new products, services, initiatives, or business models that address societal and environmental challenges.

Collective Social Innovators: Bring together organizations to solve complex problems that cannot be tackled by individual actors.

The good news is the world is now paying attention. In April 2023, the United Nations adopted the first resolution recognizing the contribution of the social and solidarity economy towards sustainable development, and called on governments to implement policies supporting social enterprise.

At the same time, there has been an important shift in the way many of these organizations operate as they move from simply supplying goods and services to providing the tools and systems to empower communities.

The impact of this is being felt at both the macro and micro level, as reflected in this year's winners. The Financing Alliance for Health, for example, helps governments across Africa set their own healthcare agendas, thereby reducing dependency on external development agencies. Colombia's Fundación Mi Sangre, meanwhile, works at the individual level to give young people the skills needed to develop their voice and help steer their country's future.

Other organizations are pioneering projects as diverse as recycling electronic devices for education in the Middle East; empowering Indigenous peoples' stewardship of Amazon forests; promoting youth development through sport; and bringing legal services to resource-poor communities in rural Africa.

1. the 'what ifs' that were listed in the video:

"what if we could help 7 million people see?"

"what if we could bring renewable energy to more than 1 billion people without electricity?"

"what if football could lift people out of homelessness?"

"what if we could eliminate mother-to-child HIV transmissions?"

"what if technology could reconnect refugee families?"

"what if technology could connect refugees to job markets?"

"what if access to healthcare, a safe home, mobility, health foods, education, clean air, fair wages, digital access, security, art, public spaces, leisure, drinkable water was equal to all?"

2. I think these what ifs are social problems al around the world, but through the Shwab foundation for social entrepreneurship, they are looking to tackle these issues through the use of technology or different solutions.

3+4: Over its 25-year history, the SchwabFoundation has grown a community of the world’s foremost social change leaders, united in their focus on creating positive societal impact. Its annual flagship Social Innovation Awards honour leaders who have developed innovative and proven impact models to reduce social inequalities and preserve vulnerable natural ecosystems. Awardees embark on a 3-year journey to grow their visibility, find support systems through a trusted peer community, collaborate and deepen their knowledge and practice towards systemic change. In 2020, the Schwab Foundation initiated the Global Alliance for Social Entrepreneurship as the most comprehensive multi-stakeholder coalition in support of the social innovation sector. The Alliance and its 100+ members represent over 100,000 social entrepreneurs and bring together a rich and growing ecosystem of corporations, investors, philanthropists, governments, researchers, media, and industry actors. It focuses on mainstreaming social innovation by helping private sector actors build partnerships with social entrepreneurs and their intermediaries, by creating multi-stakeholder partnerships for scaling social innovations, and by engaging with the public sector to support policy implementation in support of the social economy.

Shwab also attained the following:

1.2 billion mobilized in the past year by annual survey respondents

90% of awardees in the survey responded with trust for their peers within the Schwab community

891 million lives directly impacted

a minimum of 3% to a maximum impact of 10% for every sdg.

2. I feel that the What-ifs mentioned are what Schwab Foundation is focusing on and what they are trying to solve. It is their desired outcome to come up with a solution to solve these problems to improve the living conditions for all.

3. The social innovators of Schwab Foundation has improved the lives of 891 million individuals Their models put purpose before profit and have proven to be effective and economically viable in creating social and environmental progress where market or development approaches have failed.

2. From my perspective, the "What Ifs" I've heard and seen from the video really challenge us to consider profound changes and inspire innovative solutions for the world's pressing issues. They pose as tough to do questions, but at the same time, make you feel like you can believe it is possible.

3. From 2019 to 2022, the Schwab Foundation has made a significant impact through its community of social innovators. They have directly improved the lives of 891 million people by implementing models that prioritize purpose over profit, addressing social and environmental issues where traditional approaches have been ineffective.

Additionally, I think the 'What ifs' also encourage us to think about the transformative opportunities that can arise from addressing the 3 pillars of sustainability.

4.

What if technology could connect refugees to job markets?

What if Access to healthcare, a safe home, mobility, healthy food, education, clean air, fair wages, digital access, security, art, public space, leisure and drinkable water was equal to al?

2. The Schwab Foundation aims to address global social issues and causes that impact society by developing innovative solutions that promote equality and improve living standards for all. These social challenges represent the "what ifs" – the potential inequalities, disparities, and barriers that prevent people from accessing equal opportunities and living fulfilling lives. Through its initiatives, the Foundation strives to create a more equitable world by tackling these social problems head-on with creative and transformative approaches.

3. After conducting online research, here are some examples of the impact that social innovators associated with the Schwab Foundation have made on society from 2019-2022:

1. Socios En Salud (Partners In Health) - This organization, co-founded by Paul Farmer, has provided high-quality healthcare to over 1.5 million people in underserved communities across 11 countries, including treating drug-resistant tuberculosis and providing maternal and child health services.

2. Camfed (Campaign for Female Education) - Schwab Awardee Ann Cotton's organization has supported over 4.8 million students in sub-Saharan Africa, with a focus on keeping girls in school and providing post-school training and resources.

3. Dialogue in the Dark - This organization, founded by Andreas Heinecke, employs blind trainers to lead visitors through exhibitions in complete darkness, raising awareness and promoting inclusion for the visually impaired. Over 10 million people have experienced their programs worldwide.

4. Kicks for Cause - Founded by Amy Graham, this initiative collects gently used shoes and redistributes them to those in need while providing sustainable jobs. Over 200,000 pairs of shoes have been donated across 25 countries.

1. What ifs mentioned in the video, that was equal to all.

What if we could help 7 million people see?

What if we could bring renewable energy to more than 1 billion people without electricity?

What if football could lift people out of homelessness?

What if technology could reconnect refugee families or to job markets?

What if access to a safe home, mobility, healthy foods, education, clean air, fair wages, digital access, security, art, public space, leisure, drinkable water, was equal to all?

2. I think the what ifs are stated to make people more aware that these are some of the things that are not accessible to a group of people, and what if they were equal to everyone. It probes our minds and helps us think of ways we can make this possible and make a positive impact on society and the world as a whole.

3. Impacts that Schwab Foundation has made:

According to their website, they have impacted over 891 million lives directly, so what did they do and how did they help?

They have created 28,000 jobs, and greatly improved gender parity with the latest cohort by 63% females.

One of their programs called Financing Alliance for Health (FAH) is an Africa-based, and led partnership collaborating with governments, donors, and private sector to address systemic financing challenges to scaling primary and community health programs in sub-Saharan Africa.

They have also impacted the workforce by bridging the gap between education and the job market for unemployed and marginalized youth, women and refugees by providing them with the skills and training they need to succeed in their Education for Employment (EFE) program.

These are some of the impacts they have made on the society.

1. The ' What ifs' mentioned in the video.

1. What if we could help 7 million people see?

2. What if we could bring renewable energy to more than 1 billion people without electricity?

3. What if football could lift people out of homelessness

4. What if we could eliminate mother to child HIV transmission?

5. What if technology could reconnect refugee families?

6. What if technology connect refugees to job markets?

7. What if access to health care, safe home , mobility, healthy food, education, clean air, fair wages, digital access, security, art, public space, leisure, drinkable water was equal to all?

2. In my own perspective, I would say that the meaning for the term 'What ifs' would be the referred to the context of where how hypothetical scenarios that such social innovators have decided to bring or even considered to be able lead to a impactful work, which can be addressed in the potential future scenarios and possibilities, when having to face the realm of social innovation. Having to press the term ' What ifs' to be a contemplation of how current situations now can be funnelled into probing solutions, leading to ease of livability for all.

3. The Schwab Foundation from the time period of 2019 to 2022, they have been well noticed and notable for the level of activities they have managed to allow plenty of social innovators to set a growth path to the level of positive impact they are able to foster. For instance, their social innovators from 2019 to 2022 were able to significantly improve 891 million lives worldwide. They were also able to mobilise up to $1.2 billion in resources and were able to generate up to $902 million in revenue through their last three cohorts. Having to lead to a direct job creation of 28,000 jobs, with a highly trusted community, conducted surveys were able to fetch more 90% of respondents to be satisfied and able to press high trust levels. Schwab Foundation's systemic change approach to their commitment of having to empowering individuals, remodeling social innovations for greater impact, its local partnership ecosystems, utilized community feedback and having to grow through its process of having to release its control for social change, allows them to be able to achieve greater heights in setting, 'What ifs' into reality.

1) The What-ifs:

What if we could help 7 million people see?

What if we could bring renewable energy to more than 1 billion people without electricity?

What if football could lift people out of homelessness?

What if we could eliminate mother-to-child HIV transmissions?

What if technology could reconnect refugee families?

What if technology could connect refugees to job markets?

What if access to healthcare, a safe home, mobility, healthy foods, education, clean air, fair wages, digital access, security, art, public space, leisure, drinkable water, was equal to all?

2) The 'What-ifs' are commonly known and identifiable as problems faced by mankind that are urgent and/or widespread. These are the issues Schwab Foundation identified, thus they work on solutions to tackle these problems and support affected groups.

3) Schwab Foundation created social impact through many initiatives by its members, covering issues across the various sectors. One such initiative was implemented by a pair of social entrepreneurs, Andrew Baird and Ronald Bruder, under EFE. They helped to bridge the gap between education and the job market for unemployed and marginalized youth, women and refugees, providing them with the skills and training needed to succeed and bringing opportunities to them. EFE operates in ten countries, impacting nearly 180,000 young people in the Middle East and North Africa. Sameh Galey, founder of Together Association for Development and Environment, started the development of water and sanitization infrastructure that builds the capabilities of local communities to implement development projects within their regions. The model had been implemented over in over 150 villages, impacting more than 2 million families in Egypt.

2. The "What ifs" are all about imagining a world where people can overcome certain global challenges, and everyone has equal access to basic human needs and opportunities. These "What ifs" inspire us to think about how we can work towards a more just and equitable society for all.

3. Some of the impacts made by the Schwab Foundation’s community of social innovators include:

1. Directly Improved Lives: A total of 891 million lives have been directly improved by the awardees within this community.

2. Resource Mobilization: Surveyed awardees have mobilized $1.2 billion in resources.

1. The 'What-ifs' mentioned in the video would be:

What if we could help 7 million people see?

What if we could bring renewable energy to more than 1 billion people without electricity?

What if football could lift people out of homelessness?

What if we could eliminate mother-to-child HIV transmissions?

What if technology could reconnect refugee families?

What if technology could connect refugees to job markets?

What if access to a safe home, mobility, healthy foods, education, clean air, fair wages, digital access, security, art, public spaces, leisure, and drinkable water, were equal to all?

2. Personally, I believe that the 'What-ifs', are potential solutions to social problems or even just problems that affect people globally.

I believe these solutions could also contribute to the UN's 17 SDGs, should they be successfully implemented.

However, these potential solutions utilizing technology and all would be theoretical, given that it's quite ambitious, such as using technology to help 7 million people see, etc., but these 'What-ifs', are food for thought, once the technology issue has been addressed, then, this could be the beginning of a Social Innovation, that could potentially change the world.

3. Based on online research, the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship has made a significant impact on society through its community of social innovators from 2019 to 2022. The foundation's awardees have helped improve the lives of 891 million people globally by addressing key social and environmental challenges.

Some notable impacts include:

Ashraf Patel, co-founder of Pravah and ComMutiny Youth Collective in India, has fostered youth leadership impacting over 15 million young people.

​

Kennedy Odede from Kenya founded SHOFCO (Shining Hope for Communities), which has significantly improved living conditions in urban slums​.

Marlon and Rene Parker in South Africa expanded their community project into RLabs, a global social enterprise providing tech skills and training to disadvantaged individuals.

Mikaela Jade in Australia created Indigital, the country's first Indigenous edu-tech company that uses augmented reality (AR) to bridge cultural knowledge gaps​.

Celso Athayde in Brazil has transformed lives in favela communities through initiatives that utilize music and sports​, similar to the 'What-ifs', about how football could lift people from homelessness.

The foundation's efforts also extend to creating networks of collaboration among its awardees and connecting them to global initiatives like the World Economic Forum, further amplifying their impact and reach​

The Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship announced today 15 awardees for social innovation in 2022.

From a Brazilian entrepreneur using hip-hop to turn Favela youth away from crime, a Dutch nurse revolutionizing home healthcare and a park ranger turned tech founder using Minecraft to revive Australia's Indigenous culture, the 2022 Social Innovators of the Year includes a list of outstanding founders and chief executive officers, multinational and regional business leaders, government leaders and recognized experts.

The awardees were selected by Schwab Foundation Board members, including Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Prime Minister of Denmark (2011-2015), and social innovation expert Johanna Mair, Professor of Organization, Strategy and Leadership at the Hertie School of Governance in Germany, and H.M. Queen Mathilde of Belgium, Honorary Board Member, in recognition of their innovative approach and potential for global impact.

"The Social Innovators of the Year 2022 represent a new ecosystem of leaders who are driving change and shifting organizations and systems towards a more just, inclusive, sustainable future," said Hilde Schwab, Co-Founder and Chairperson of the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship.

The Schwab Foundation's unique community of social innovators dates back more than two decades to 1998 when Hilde Schwab, together with her husband Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, created the foundation to support a new model for social change, combining often-overlooked values of mission, compassion and dedication with the best business principles on the planet to serve the most disadvantaged people on earth and build a better society.

Today, the foundation has a thriving community of 400 global social entrepreneurs that have impacted the lives of 722 million people in 190 countries. They offer access to healthcare, education, housing, finance, digital skills and advocacy networks resulting in job creation economic opportunity, improved health and stability.

To help the social enterprise sector increase its reach in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Schwab Foundation established the COVID Response Alliance for Social Entrepreneurs early 2020, representing 90+ members and an estimated 100,000 entrepreneurs as the largest collaborative in the sector.

"This year's Schwab Foundation Awardees demonstrate that through values-based approaches centring on inclusivity, collaboration, relationships of trust and long-term sustainability, we have proven ways of changing institutions and mindsets, and disrupting traditional ways of working that hold systemic barriers in place," said François Bonnici, Director of the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship.

The 2022 Schwab Foundation Awards are hosted in a long-term partnership with the Motsepe Foundation, founded on the philosophy of "Ubuntu", the African concept of giving and caring for your neighbour and other members of your community.

"I strongly believe social entrepreneurship, combined with local innovation and technology, can create meaningful change and recovery in Africa and many developing nations. At its core it is about bringing together the best of business discipline and efficiency with the best of human and social values. We need this synergy, now more than ever," said Precious Moloi-Motsepe, Co-Chair, Motsepe Foundation and Chancellor of the University of Cape Town.

1. The 'What ifs' mentioned in the video:

What if we could help 7 million people see?

What if we could bring renewable energy to more than 1 billion people without electricity?

What if football could lift people out of homelessness?

What if technology could connect refugees to job markets?

What if access to healthcare, a safe home, mobility, healthy foods, education, clean air, fair wages, digital access, security, art, public space, leisure, drinkable water was equal to all?

2. In my opinion, these what-ifs are social issues that urgently need to be tackled as they have been prevailing up to this day and age. The Schwab Foundation aims to tackle these issues by coming up with innovative solutions to address these issues swiftly and effectively. Through their initiatives, I am sure that the process towards a more equitable world would be near for all.

3. the Schwab Foundation has recognized social innovators as a courageous new breed of leaders—values-driven, inclusive, and entrepreneurial individuals who reimagine social and economic systems to be more inclusive and sustainable for the planet. Their models prioritize purpose over profit and have demonstrated effectiveness and economic viability in creating social and environmental progress. These have led them to achieve certain KPIs such as $902 million generated in revenue by the last three cohorts and 28,000 jobs directly created by those three last cohorts.

2. I think that the What-ifs that were mentioned in the video are visionary/future questions that challenge us to think about how social innovation can radically improve the world/make the world a better place. These questions would help us to propose transformative changes across various sectors, such as healthcare, energy, housing, and employment that would help us to help the underprivileged and vulnerable people etc. Furthermore, I also believe that these questions help to inspire us to envision what might be possible if we apply innovative solutions to pressing social issues. I feel that they serve not only as challenges but also as Calls to Action (CTA) for Entrepreneurs, Policymakers, and Community Leaders. Overall helping to better contribute to the 17 SDGs goals.

3. Some impact that the Social Innovators of Schwab Foundation made on Society are:

2. I think the 'What ifs' are thought-provoking questions about pressing social issues that Schwab Foundation identified, encouraging people to work with the foundation to devise solutions to tackle them, tearing down barriers and building up communities. These questions address some of the 17 SDG goals to tackle various aspects of sustainable development.

Through promoting global visibility, peer support, and knowledge building, Schwab Foundation has directly improved 891 million lives thus far, mobilised $1.2 billion in resources, generated $902 million in revenue in the last 3 cohorts, and directly created 28,000 jobs in the last 3 cohorts.

The foundation provides a platform for social innovators to network with donors and other industry professionals.

One such social innovator is Rudayna Abdo. Rudayna Abdo is the Founder, CEO, and President of Thaki, a social impact non-profit organisation that delivers learning tools to schools catering to refugee and vulnerable children in the Middle East. By providing used computer hardware and ed-tech software, it has delivered hope and educational opportunities to tens of thousands of children since its foundation in 2015. It works in partnership with companies that donate their second-hand electronic devices and educational content. Rudayna previously had a successful career in urban planning tackling housing, land use and urban transportation issues in North America and the Middle East.

2.     I see the what-ifs as the possibilities and results that the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship is working to bring to life by breaking down barriers and fostering communities, integrating technology and AI in developing nations, and giving the impoverished access to basic necessities like food, water, and housing.

3.     Social innovators supported by the Schwab Foundation have helped to create long-lasting peace in Colombia, given young people in India the capacity to influence public health policies, and used artificial intelligence to help small-scale farmers cope with food stress and climate change. In addition, they have supported education, health care, and services to combat gender-based violence as community-based approaches to helping orphans. Their actions directly enhanced the lives of 891 million people, brought in $902 million in income, produced 28,000 employments over three generations, and raised $1.2 billion in funding.

1. The what-ifs that are mentioned in the video are:

What if we could help 7 million people to see?

What if we could bring renewable energy to more than a billion people without electricity?

What if football can lift people out of homelessness?

What if we could eliminate mother-to-child HIV transmissions?

What if technology could connect refugees to job markets?

What if access to healthcare, a safe home, mobility, healthy foods, education, clean air, fair wages, digital access, security, public space, leisure, and drinkable water is equal to all?

2. I think that the what-ifs are questions that the Schwab Foundation has put out to solve and tackle. It reflects the social issues that they are focused on.

3. The Schwab Foundation made a platform to support an under-recognized movement of people who were developing innovative business models delivering social or environmental good. The Schwab Foundation community includes around 400 social innovators and entrepreneurs operating in more than 190 countries worldwide.

The community has improved the lives of more than 622 million people in 190 countries; distributed $6.7 billion in loans or value of products and services to improve livelihoods; mitigated more than 192 million tonnes of CO2; improved education for more than 226 million children and youth; improved energy access for 100 million people; and driven social inclusion for over 25 million people for people with disabilities, homelessness or refugee status

1. What ifs mentioned In the video:

what if we could help 7 million people see?

what if we could bring renewable energy to more than 1 billion people without electricity?

what if football could lift people out of homelessness?

what if we could eliminate mother-to-child HIV transmissions?

what if technology could connect refugees to families and to job markets?

what if access to safe homes, mobility , healthy food , education , clean air , fair wages , digital access , security, art, public spaces, leisure, drinkable water was equal to all?

2. The " What ifs" are the endless possibility of changes , that could have made a large difference to the society and environment if we had taken actions to address the global challenges that we are facing. For instance; by providing the " less privileged individuals who came from a rural area" an access to educations, this could potential provide more benefits, as he would be able to obtain essential knowledge who could be of use, in terms of educating his village on how to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission, which could lead to the decrease in the HIV transmissions, and resulting in the being able to save costs on healthcare. Leading to one less global issue that have been addressed. Thus, this shows that the " what if everyone had an equal access to all" , certain global issues could be addressed.

3. The following are some major ways that the Schwab Foundation has impacted the social innovation community:

- Increase employment opportunities: These same three generations have directly produced 28,000 employment, boosting regional economy and standard of living.

- Increase Trust: Their significant influence has built a solid foundation of trust, as evidenced by the 90% of poll participants in the 2024 Impact report who said they had a high or extremely high degree of trust in the community. Furthermore, 73% of participants reported working together with other recipients.

- Enhancing Lives: By 2022, the foundation's beneficiaries had made a good influence on about 891 million people. These social innovators focus on creating inclusive and sustainable social and economic systems in order to promote positive change.

- Obtaining Resources: The beneficiaries of the study have gathered $1.2 billion in financing alliances and various forms of assistance from organizations such as SAP and Deloitte to help their undertakings.

- Generating Revenue: A total of $902 million in revenue has been created over the course of three recipient cohorts. This demonstrates their dedication to making profit and purpose the top priorities and shows that social and environmental change can be made at a reasonable cost.

2. "What ifs" encompass discussions surrounding the global challenges addressed by the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship and their utilization of technology and AI to enact positive transformations. Their objective is to offer essentials such as food, water, and housing to individuals in need.

1.     What ifs:

-       What if access to healthcare, a safe home, mobility, healthy foods, education, clean air, fair wages, digital access, security, art, public space, leisure, drinkable water, was equal to all?

-       What if we could help 7 million people see?

-       What if we could bring renewable energy to more than 1 billion people without electricity?

-       What if technology could reconnect refugee families?

-       What if football could lift people out of homelessness?

2.     In my view, the what-ifs are the possible outcomes and chances that the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship works to bring to reality through removing barriers, fostering communities, integrating technology and artificial intelligence into developing nations, and giving the impoverished access to basic necessities like food, water, and shelter.

3.     Through the support of the Schwab Foundation, social innovaters have helped bring about long-lasting peace in Colombia, given young people in India the ability to influence public health policies, and used artificial intelligence to help small-scale farmers tackle the problems of food insecurity and climate change. Additionally, as community-based approaches to aid orphans, they have supported healthcare, education, and programs that address gender-based violence. In addition to bringing in $902 million in income, creating 28,000 employment for three generations, and securing $1.2 billion in investment, their activities have directly impacted the lives of 891 million people.

3. The Schwab Foundation has positively impacted the lives of nearly 891 million people thanks to social innovators like Gerald Abila. Gerald is recognized for leveraging digital platforms to make legal services accessible to disadvantaged communities. He founded BarefootLaw, a Ugandan non-profit, which uses technology to demystify the law and make justice accessible to those on the margins of society. His efforts are a testament to the transformative power of tech-based legal aid.

2. In my view, "What If" represents the problems society is facing right now. It calls for us to step up and solve these issues, filled with hope for solutions and achieve SDGs 17. Let's start using and replacing "What If" with words like "In Progress" or even "Resolved," encouraging a shift toward action and tangible/ real change.

1. The "What-ifs" pose thought-provoking questions about addressing major global challenges, from providing vision to millions and ensuring renewable energy access, to leveraging football for social upliftment and eliminating HIV transmission. They underscore the importance of equitable access to essential resources and opportunities for all.

2. Schwab Foundation recognizes these pressing issues and actively works on solutions to tackle them, supporting affected groups through various initiatives.

3. Among these initiatives, the Education For Employment (EFE) program, led by social entrepreneurs Andrew Baird and Ronald Bruder, focuses on bridging the education-employment gap for marginalized youth, women, and refugees in ten countries across the Middle East and North Africa. Another impactful initiative is led by Sameh Galey, founder of Together Association for Development and Environment, which focuses on water and sanitation infrastructure development, empowering local communities to implement projects in over 150 villages in Egypt, benefiting more than 2 million families.

“What if we could help 7 million people see?”

“What if we could bring renewable energy to more than 1 billion people without electricity?

“What if football could lift people out of homelessness?”

“What if we could eliminate mother-to-child HIV transmissions?”

“What if technology could reconnect refugee families?”
“What if technology could connect refugees to job markets?”

“What if access to a safe home, mobility, education, clean air, fair wages, digital access, security, art, public space, leisure, drinkable water, was equal to all?”

2. I think the 'What ifs" are global issues which range from providing vision care to millions, delivering renewable energy to those without electricity, using football to uplift the homeless, eliminating mother-to-child HIV transmissions, reuniting refugee families through technology, connecting refugees to job opportunities, and ensuring equal access to essential resources and opportunities for all. They represent an

aspiration for positive change through innovation, technology, and collective efforts to address pressing global challenges and improve the lives of people worldwide.

3. The Schwab Foundation estimates that their community of social innovators has improved the lives of 891 million people worldwide. They have effectively alleviated poverty through microfinance initiatives and sustainable livelihood programs, improved access to education for marginalized populations, enhanced healthcare delivery with innovative technologies and community-based approaches, promoted environmental sustainability through renewable energy adoption and waste reduction efforts, championed social inclusion by empowering marginalised groups and advocating for minority rights, leveraged technology for social good to address information access and financial inclusion, and empowered communities through participatory development projects.

2. The purpose of the what-if statements, in my opinion, is to increase public awareness of the fact that some goods are out of reach for some groups of people. After all, what if they were available to everyone? It stretches our thinking and inspires us to consider how we might make this happen and improve society and the wider globe.

3. The Schwab Foundation's effects include:

They have reportedly directly influenced over 891 million people, according to their website. So what did they do and how did they help?

In addition to creating 28,000 employment, they significantly increased gender parity by 63% for the most recent cohort of women.

Under one of its initiatives, the financial Alliance for Health (FAH), governments, funders, and the corporate sector work together in Africa to solve systemic financial obstacles to the expansion of primary and community health programmes in sub-Saharan Africa.

They have also had an influence on the labour force by helping jobless and marginalised youth, women, and refugees close the knowledge and skill gap between education and the workforce by giving them the tools and training they need to succeed in their Education for Employment (EFE).

1. The 'What ifs' mentioned in the video:

- What if we could help 7 million people see?

- What if we could bring renewable energy to more than 1 billion people without electricity?

- What if football could lift people out of homelessness?

- What if we could eliminate mother-to-child HIV transmissions?

- What if technology could reconnect refugee families?

- What if technology could connect refugees to job markets?

- What if access to health care, a safe home, mobility, healthy foods, education, clean air, fair wages, digital access, security art, public space, leisure, drinkable water was equal to all?

2. The "What ifs," in my opinion, allude to problems that people encounter globally. The Schwab Foundation is working to discover answers for such issues in order to support individuals and communities who face them.

3. Based on online research, Schwab Foundation has helped improve 891 million lives. $1.2 billion mobilised in resources by surveyed awardees. $902 million of combined revenue of the 64 organisations generated in revenue by the last 3 cohorts. 28,000 jobs directly created by those 3 last cohorts, providing economic stability to a wide range of communities. 90% of surveyees have high/very high trust on their community, and 73% of surveyees have collaborated with fellow awardees.

1. The What-ifs listed in the video are:

What if we could help 7 million people see?

What if we could bring renewable energy to more than 1 billion people without electricity?

What if football could lift people out of homelessness?

What if we could eliminate mother-to-child transmissions?

2. The "what ifs" are like asking, "Imagine if everyone had the same access to things." It gets us thinking about how we could make things fair for everyone and make the world better. It's about making us aware of inequalities and inspiring us to find solutions.

3. The Schwab Foundation noticed some special leaders called social innovators. They're brave, caring, and good at starting things. They change how society and money work to help the planet. They care more about helping others than making money. Their ideas work well and help the environment. For example, in the last three groups, they made about $902 million and created 28,000 jobs.

2. The "What Ifs" I've heard and seen in the video, in my opinion, truly push us to think critically about significant adjustments and provide creative answers for the most important problems facing the planet. Though these seem like difficult questions to answer, they also give you hope that it is feasible.

3. Schwab Foundation created social impact through many initiatives by its members, covering issues across the various sectors.

One such initiative was implemented by a pair of social entrepreneurs, Andrew Baird and Ronald Bruder, under EFE. They helped to bridge the gap between education and the job market for unemployed and marginalized youth, women and refugees, providing them with the skills and training needed to succeed and bringing opportunities to them. EFE operates in ten countries, impacting nearly 180,000 young people in the Middle East and North Africa. Sameh Galey, founder of Together Association for Development and Environment, started the development of water and sanitization infrastructure that builds the capabilities of local communities to implement development projects within their regions. More than two million families in Egypt have been impacted by the model's implementation in more than 150 localities.
