Meet Steve Stirling: "I Was a Throw Away" Kid who Grew Up to be CEO of a Global Organization Providing Life-Changing Medicines to Kids in Need

On Tuesday, June 19, The 2018 Human Excellence Awards are proud and excited to be honoring Steven Stirling 

Steve sees the potential for greatness in every child, especially those with serious health needs who can easily be overlooked in societies without sufficient health care resources.  

Steve comes by the work naturally. Growing up in South Korea, he contracted Polio at the age of 2. Imagine contracting a disease that can now be prevented by modern vaccines that are cheap and now ubiquitous to the developed world.

His family abandoned him in an orphanage where he lived until he was 11 years old, and  then he was adopted by an American family. 

Steven grew up to be a successful and impactful leader in business and philanthropy.  He graduated from Cornell University, and was later awarded a Masters in Management from Northwestern University.  He would gain decades of experience in executive leadership, marketing, fundraising, and the management of multinational corporations and non-governmental organizations. including Heifer International, World Vision, and Bristol-Myers Squibb.  Presently he serves as president and CEO of Map International, an organization that provides free medicines to people and youth living in poverty globally.

Map International mission is to provide medicines and health supplies to ever person around the world in need, so that they might experience life to the fullest like Steve.  His organization helps families gain access to vaccines, prenatal care, treatments, and disaster relief in times of need.  Providing the highest quality medicine to those in need is MAP’s top priorities.

​In the Summer of 2017,
 a news report documented Steve administering drops of polio vaccines to children in India.  On the auspicious occasion that brought him full circle in his battle against disease and its disabling effects, he said:   
​
"I saw the joy in the smiling faces of mothers that their beloved child would be free from the dreaded disease. I also know personally the child will not go through the pain of rejection and ridicule faced by children with polio because the $0.15/dose of polio vaccine will prevent them from getting the crippling disease.”


Steve Stirling will be honored with The 2018 Human Excellence Award for the life he has led through social innovation that heals children around the world at Harvard University June 19. 

Join us to celebrate Hope, Community, and Human Excellence honoring heroes in high-impact social innovation.
