SPICE WITHOUT BORDERS is a global leadership academy and incubator for
social CHANGE INNOVATION BY THOSE AT THE MARGINS OF SOCIETY. Through
its 6 months Accelerator Program, it offers mentorship and one-on-one
training to those who want to enact CHANGE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.
Participants are from diverse backgrounds; gender, ethnicity, race,
colour, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion or socioeconomic
status, sharing this diversity as they live and learn together.
CHALLENGE
There exists social issues that keep marginalizing people at the
backyard of communities in Kenya. With inadequate knowledge of
techniques that help create change, many only seem to see these
problems but they do NOT take action. It takes only one reason to
become problem solvers for those who understand. Social Change
Accelerators who have overcome adversity play a key role in creating
change in their communities, providing solutions to these problems
expanding the diversity and inclusion space
SOLUTION
The project will empower participants from diverse backgrounds;
status, orientation, cultural, religious, economic and educational
with skills needed to start sustainable projects in their communities.
They could be activists, creatives, entrepreneurs, initiators or
innovators. They are exposed to methods, techniques and theories
relevant to their personal ideas. Our emphasis is personal
development, project planning, management, public speaking, finance,
fundraising, communication, access to mentorship.
LONG-TERM IMPACT
Over the long term, we will create social change accelerators at the
backyard of society with skills to help their communities take action
on identified issues. Will stir up the innovation of new social change
models allowing our participants to monetize their creativity. Create
sustainable job opportunities when they start projects. Bridge the
gender and social inequalities at the backyard of society. Expand the
diversity and inclusion space and connect leaders from within their
communities.
