Although born in Kenya, Rahim Mawji grew up in Tanzania before deciding to attend Harvard. Having been exposed to dozens of NGOs “always asking for money from the government,” he came to Cambridge wondering if there could ever be a better form of collaboration.
That’s when he stumbled upon the Harvard College Social Innovation Collaborative (HCSIC) and their Igniting Innovation Summit, admitting it was encouraging to see “how the for-profit and non-profit worlds could come together and have this baby called ‘social entrepreneurship.’” The Summit highlighted how to do well while doing good, and the participants were “hyped up about social change.”
