Changing the world – sounds grand, doesn’t it?
People changing the world are normal people with an idea, a vision, who took action.
Behind every impactful organisation lies the story of a visionary founder or leader—a journey marked by passion, purpose, and unwavering dedication to driving positive change. Sometimes tainted with tragedy, loss, trauma and heartache – but the outcome full of hope, optimism and positive change.
What makes these normal people extraordinary? Action.
Let’s celebrate some incredible founders and leaders who are shaping the future and making a difference in the world:
Piyush Tewari – founder of SaveLIFE Foundation in India – saving lives on the roads of India following the death of his cousin that could have been prevented. Award winning, law-making, life-saving work has followed the past 20 years of this organisation – impacting millions of lives across India.
Brisa de Angulo – co founder of A Breeze of Hope – activist and campaigner fighting for policy change to protect and stand with sexual abuse survivors. Following her own experience, she is ensuring this is not repeated for countless young girls across Bolivia.
Rebecca Van Bergen – founder of Nest -supporting the responsible growth and creative engagement of the artisan and maker economy to build a world of greater gender equity and economic inclusion. Following Mohammed Yunnus winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006, she was inspired by the massive potential of craft-based microentrepreneurs to drive financial and social impact within their communities, and set up Nest the same year.
We are proud to have supported these individuals and their organisations in their social impact work over the years – everything from brand strategy, to identity design, tone of voice to website reimagining.
