For us, a core idea is that communities anywhere in the world have a right to
be sustainable.
They need to earn more than what they spend.
>> When I look at investing in children, I'm thinking more in terms of,
them having a right to live a life that is safe,
secure, full of love, and we'll show a model that works.
We'll show how it's possible, to create a home instead of an institution.
>> Cricket is a very, very visual game, but
if we look at it, blind people devised a way, using sound, to play the game.
Blindness or disability is not the real problem, it is the way we all think.
>> We want basically, that every single person who's affected by any of these big
projects that are coming up, dams, mines, roads,
highways, who are affected, are legally empowered to challenge them.
>> You have to advocate for change.
You have to keep fighting till the day you die, to make that happen.
>> So, that's what social entrepreneurs stand for.
They, begin as a critic for
something that doesn't work, they then, don't rest until it works.
The importance of vesting in individual ideas, that actually affect systemic
change, they are irreversible because, when you really manage to flip a system,
it begins to acquire the momentum that very few people can actually stop.
>> In 2004, we had hardly about two to three cases in a year,
where people would go to a court of law challenging mining, dams, but
today we have, almost, like 15 to 20 cases a day, where mining projects, dams,
highways, all are being challenged on legal and scientific ground.
That's what empowerment can do.
