‘Project Inspire: 5 minutes to change the world’ aims to engage tomorrow’s leaders and helps them realize their visions of a better world through opportunities for women and girls, and in doing so inspire others. Project Inspire is jointly organised by the Singapore Committee for UN Women and Mastercard, with support from INSEAD.
What then is Project Inspire about? It presents 18-35 year olds with a 5-minute platform via a video or a written pitch to articulate their inspired idea to the world and win a US$25,000 grant to make their idea a reality. The grant will be used to bring to life the winning idea and empower disadvantaged women or children in Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa through education, skills training, financial inclusion or social entrepreneurship.

How you can support them
Volunteer With them! They are currently recruiting volunteers to research and build a list of contacts at non-profit organisations around the region, so that they can spread the word about Project Inspire. (Very good for those who wants to volunteer but am unable to go away)
Spread the word about this opportunity, AND email them at project.inspire@unifem.org.sg by 23 March, 2012 to volunteer. For questions on Project Inspire, please email them at contact@5minutestochangetheworld.org
