How Social Entrepreneurs Faced COVID-19 with Innovation and Empathy

Throughout this year of pandemic, we’ve seen the incredible resilience of the remarkable community of Skoll Awardees. Their vital role in reimagining inequitable systems that fail to meet the needs of all communities has never been clearer. While COVID has laid bare the deepest fissures in our society and threatened the most marginalized, Skoll Awardees have seized this moment with the uncommon urgency it has demanded.

This short film shares a glimpse of the overwhelming response of Skoll Awardees across geographies and sector to this pandemic—a vision for a better future within the challenges of the present. We’ve been consistently reminded of the power of proximity during this time of social distancing and virtual collaboration—those closest to the communities they serve are best placed to respond with urgency.

During this extraordinary year, the Skoll Awardee community rose to the challenge, and we are so very grateful for your work.
