Four groups of promising young Filipino social entrepreneurs pitched their most creative and innovative business ideas to emerge the winners in this year’s “I Am a Changemaker” competition organised by British Council Philippines.
Four winners were chosen out of a dozen finalists – one each from the National Capital Region (NCR), Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. A special prize was given by Starbucks to the finalist whose proposal best exemplified the values of a responsible business. To help propel their business, each winning team received Php100,000 as seed capital and a business incubation and mentorship scheme courtesy of Social Enterprise Development Partnerships Inc. (SEDPI). In addition, all the finalists received project management and feasibility training from SEDPI based on a curriculum designed by the Ateneo de Manila University and the National University of Singapore.
