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.

• "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.

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

• What if football can lift people out of homelessness?

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

• What id technology could connect refugees to job markets?

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

2. I think the what-ifs mentioned are the problems that Schwab Foundation is focused on and what they are trying to solve. It is their desired outcome to come up with innovative solutions to improve living conditions for all.

3. The social innovators 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. They also have a total of $1.2 billion mobilized resources contributed by survey awardees. 28,000 jobs have been created by these 3 cohorts of awardees.

--> What if we could help 7 million people?

--> What if we could bring renewable energy to more than one 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, safe homes, healthy foods, mobility, healthy foods, education, clean air, fair wages, digital access, security, art, public space, leisure, drinkable water, was equal to all?

2). What I think "What ifs" are is talking about the global issues that the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship are trying to tackle and how they use technology and AI to make positive changes. Their aim is to provide things like food, water, and housing to those who need them.

3+4). key impacts made by the social innovators of the Schwab Foundation from 2019 to 2022:

1. Lives Improved: The community of social innovators directly improved 891 million lives.

2. Resources Mobilized: Awardees mobilized $1.2 billion in resources.

3. Revenue Generated: The last three cohorts generated $902 million in revenue.

4. Jobs Created: Directly created 28,000 jobs through the last three cohorts.

• 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, health foods, education, clean air, fair wages, digital access, security, art, public space, leisure, and drinkable water was equal to all?

2. The 'What ifs' identify social, economic, and environmental challenges that the Schwab Foundation believes can be transformed through innovative solutions. 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. 

• They have played a significant role in making social and economic systems more inclusive and sustainable, positively affecting 891 million people. This impact includes not only social and environmental advancements but also significant economic contributions. For example, the foundation's surveyed awardees have raised $1.2 billion in resources and earned $902 million in revenue. Furthermore, these initiatives have led to the creation of 28,000 jobs within the most recent three groups of awardees.

• They allocated $6.7 million to initiatives and products that have boosted livelihoods by enhancing healthcare access, offering clean energy solutions, and improving educational outcomes.

• They have also reduced more than 192 million tonnes of CO2 emissions through innovative practices such as producing biodegradable plastic from seaweed and empower women to construct and install solar panels in isolated regions. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/11/this-is-how-social-innovators-are-leading-the-race-to-zero-emissions/#:~:text=The%20Schwab%20Foundation%20of%20Social,remote%20parts%20of%20the%20world. 

• Additionally, they have enhanced the educational experiences of over 226 million children and young people.

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.

      
      

The 'What-ifs' mentioned 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 HIV transmissions

• What if technology could reconnect refugee families

• What if technology could connect refugees to job markets

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

2. I think the 'What-ifs' represent the envisioned possibilities and results pursued by the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, aiming to transform them into tangible realities by dismantling obstacles and fostering communities.

3. The Schwab Foundation has directly made an impact on over 891 million people worldwide. The following is the list of impacts that the social innovators of Schwab Foundation made on society:

• Social and Environmental Progress where social innovators address issues where traditional approaches fall short. They focus on creating both social good and environmental sustainability.

• Building a Vibrant Community where The Schwab Foundation fosters a network of social entrepreneurs, allowing them to share knowledge, collaborate, and inspire each other.

• Raising Awareness where the foundation shines a spotlight on successful social innovation models, promoting them as viable solutions.

• Inclusive Health Systems where entrepreneurs are developing new models to improve access to healthcare, particularly in underserved areas

• Climate Adaptation where social innovators are creating solutions to help communities adapt to the challenges of climate change.

• Racial and Ethnic Equity where initiatives are underway to unlock the potential of marginalized communities and promote economic growth for 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 we could eliminate mother-to-child HIB transmissions?

• 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.

• 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 HIB transmissions?

• 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.

• 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​

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:

   
   

   1. Schwab Foundation has collectively improved the lives of over 891 million people worldwide. Their efforts spanned various sectors including healthcare, education, housing, and sustainable energy, focusing particularly on low-income and marginalized communities​

   
   

   2. The Social Innovators of Schwab Foundation mobilized resources amounting to approximately $1.2 billion and generated around $902 million in revenue. Moreover, their activities resulted in the creation of 28,000 jobs, demonstrating the economic viability and significant social benefits of their models​

   
   

   3. A notable 90% of surveyed members expressed high trust in the Schwab Foundation community, with 73% actively collaborating with fellow awardees. This highlights the strong network and mutual support within the community, essential for scaling impact and fostering innovative solutions.​

   
   

   4. The Social Innovators of Schwab Foundation emphasized instilling agency among individuals and communities, which allows them to shape their futures actively. By generating new possibilities and shifting power dynamics, these leaders help dismantle systemic barriers and increase the autonomy of marginalized groups​.

   
   

   5. In 2022, the Schwab Foundation honoured 16 organizations from countries like India, Uruguay, El Salvador, Nigeria, USA, France, and UAE. These awardees were recognized for their transformative work in fields such as education, agriculture, microfinance, environmental projects, and women’s empowerment​.

Conclusion: The Schwab Foundation is not just envisioning a more equitable world but actively creating it through social entrepreneurship that bridges the gap between profit and purpose, driving both economic viability and social value.

-       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.     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.

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

• 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.

3. Their main highlights from the year 2019 to 2022 were that their community of social innovators has directly improved the lives of 891 million individuals. Awardees have mobilized a total of $1.2 billion in resources, while the last three cohorts alone have generated $902 million in revenue. Through their initiatives, these social entrepreneurs have directly created 28,000 jobs within the same period. These statistics underscore the significant impact and scale of the efforts led by the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, demonstrating their commitment to addressing pressing global challenges and fostering positive change.

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.

2. To me, the "What ifs" represent a vision of potential success through innovative solutions to address societal issues worldwide. Social innovation plays a crucial role in tackling or reducing challenges such as food insecurity, lack of electricity access, and gender inequality. By addressing these issues and implementing improvements, society as a whole can benefit.

3. The Schwab Foundation has indeed made a significant impact on the community of social innovators through various key initiatives:

• Social Innovation Awards, is a program to empower established social innovators, providing them with a three-year development journey to grow their organizations and fostering connections within the Schwab Foundation community. This result in 891 million lives has been directly improved by the initiatives of awardees.

2)

I feel that the "What ifs" are social problems being faced around the world which are currently still happening and through the Shwab foundation they are more focused on trying to resolve the different issues and hoping to improve the outcome and living for everyone.

3)

• From the year 2019 to 2022, the foundation had made an impact through social innovators. They have improved 891 million people lives.

• They also have a total of 1.2 billion mobilized worth of resources.

• Has made 902 million generated in revenue.

• Has created 28,000 employments

• What if we could help 7 million people?

• What if we could bring renewable energy to more than one billion people without any 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 access to healthcare, safe homes, healthy foods, 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" offer possible answers to social problems or even issues that simply have a global effect. These are some of the issues being faced commonly which the foundation is aiming to improve those individuals lives.

3)

• 891 million lives were directly improved by the network of social innovators.

• Total of $1.2 billion in resources were raised by awardees.

• $902 million was made by the previous three cohorts.

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

2. In my opinion, I think that the 'What-Ifs' mentioned in the video represent potential for opportunities for innovation and change towards social problems throughout the world that social innovators of Schwab Foundation strive to address and achieve.

I also think that these 'What-Ifs' could also be contributing factors towards addressing the UN's 17 SDGs and also are Calls to Action for social innovators and Entrepreneurs as well.

3. Based on the research I have done online, the social innovators of Schwab Foundation have made a substantial impact on society, for instance:

   • Through their initiatives, they have managed to directly improve the lives of 891 million people globally through addressing pressing social and environmental challenges

   • the last 3 cohorts of Schwab Foundation's social innovators have directly created 28000 jobs thus tackling unemployment and creating economic empowerment thus contributing to SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth)

     
     

     Social Innovators who were awarded social innovators of the year by The Schwab Foundation:

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.

3. The community of social innovators directly improved the lives of 891 million people.

• 891 million lives directly improved by awardees

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.

2. I think the what ifs are the social problems we are facing and also the goal of schwab foundation

3. The lives of 891 million people have been made better by social innovators. In areas where market or development techniques have failed, their models, which prioritize purpose above profit, have shown to be successful and economically feasible in fostering social and environmental advancement. Additionally, survey grantees have raised resources totaling $1.2 billion for them. These three awardee cohorts have generated 28,000 new employment.

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.
