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.

Sanjit “Bunker” Roy founded Barefoot College in 1972, a solar-powered college for the poor. Roy describes the Barefoot College as “the only college where the teacher is the learner, and the learner is the teacher."
​
Vision of Sanjit "Bunker" Roy

Bunker Roy has brought his vision of a world transformed to over 3.5 Million Ted Talk viewers, and to audiences worldwide who have learned from this visionary teacher, innovator, and social entrepreneur.

Mr. Roy sees opportunity and strength in poor communities where others see only despair and strife.  His work includes empowering rural woman and grandmothers to be solar engineers, artisans, dentists and doctors--a roadmap to income and impact that is startling in its transformative capacities.  

He started to make his barefoot mark 40 years ago when he founded the Barefoot College in India to support self-sufficiency for rural communities by focusing people on their innate capacities for working in  industries as complex as solar energy, water, education, health care, women's empowerment and wasteland development.  

Mr. Roy's organization has trained grandmothers from Africa and the Himalayan region to be solar engineers, so they can bring electricity to their remote villages, as an example of his widespread impact. 

Most of the school's students are illiterate women and men.  Today Barefoot College has expanded his organization's footprint globally with "barefoot campuses" in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. 

His spirit and energy are powerful and infectious.  We are excited to have him join us to celebrate top men and women--serving humanity with solutions that are designed to help end poverty.

We are excited to have you--our partners and supporters--join us that day too.

Registration begins Wednesday,  May 10, 2018

Hope Welcomes Nigeria and Joy Villages

5/4/2018

​Hope Collaborative is thrilled to welcome Nigeria’s Joy Village to our youth leadership development network.
 
Father Charles Ogada, the founder of Joy Villages in Enugu, Nigeria, is a visionary leader. It has been a privilege for us to get to know him and his team as we start this mission-critical work together.
 
Born in Uturu, Nigeria, Father Charles at 17 had a “profound spiritual transformation which changed the course of his life.”  He then joined the Spiritan order of the Catholic Church “to deepen that transformation” where he earned B.A., M.A. and B.Phil degrees in religion and philosophy, and has since dedicated his life to providing sophisticated solutions for young people living in poverty. 

His team's recent launch of health and education facilities that provide free service for people living in poverty are dramatic examples of the work our new partners in social entrepreneurship and innovation do. We are excited to help them with their goal to "groom noble and visionary young leaders who have broad impact in every segment of their society." Hope looks to transform young people with great partners like Joy Villages.
 
Joy Villages is starting with our Conflict Resolution module, and  host 2 cohorts of teenagers. This is the first of 12 modules across a 4-year program.
 
We are orienting 8 of the professional teachers and staff next week. Our work is to support them to bring out the best in their youth leaders with best-in-class leadership development programming.

Our pro bono services are helping build the leadership skills of kids and teens in expanding geographies, and we look forward to sharing photos from the work of Joy Villages.

Here's to Joy and Hope and good luck in all of your leadership horizons!
