Social Innovators of South Africa

If there's any country in the world that needs social entrepreneurs, it's South Africa. It has been two decades since the end of Apartheid and the dreams of 'Rainbow Nation' have begun to fade. The reality of leading a country out of dark times has proved a difficult task. Unemployment among the youth is high and crime, education, health care and housing shortages are big issues. However there is hope. Through 6 x 26-minute episodes +27: SOCIAL INNOVATORS OF SOUTH AFRICA tells the story of six social innovators - men and women who are crucial change-makers. They are passionate, community-centric activists who want to make a difference. Each episode focuses on one social entrepreneur and we get to know their personal history, what has motivated them, and the essence of how their project functions.
