About the Book

How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas by David Bornstein tells the inspiring stories of remarkable individuals who have made a significant impact through their work in the nonprofit sector. From J.B. Schramm, who has helped thousands of low-income high school students in the U.S. gain access to higher education, to Veronica Khosa, who developed a home-based care model for AIDS patients in South Africa, this book showcases the transformative power of social entrepreneurship.

Bornstein’s narrative also highlights other trailblazers like Fabio Rosa, who brought electricity to remote areas of Brazil, and Javed Abidi, who fought for the rights of the physically challenged in India. The book dives into the stories of social entrepreneurs who have used innovative, grassroots solutions to solve pressing social problems.

By focusing on their personal journeys and the challenges they faced, How to Change the World offers a comprehensive look into the world of social entrepreneurship and its potential to drive systemic change.
