Project Inspire: 5 Minutes to Change the World-$25,000 Grant
UN Women Singapore and MasterCard have started a joint initiative called “Project Inspire: 5 Minutes to Change the World” to help you create a better world of opportunities for women and girls in Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa.
The initiative is inviting submissions of life-changing ideas on how to make a difference. If you have an inspirational idea that can empower women, improve their livelihoods and change the world, then you can apply! If your idea gets selected, you can win $25,000 to make it a reality.
The idea should be creative and should make a meaningful impact with the limited resources you have. It should be practical enough and must inspire others to do the same. It should be accessible, doable, measurable and sustainable. The idea should lead to the empowerment of disadvantaged women or girls through education, skills training, financial inclusion and social entrepreneurship.
Submissions are open from March 8-June 30, 2011.
