People who are directly affected by poverty, exploitation, marginalisation and other societal issues often have the best understanding, unwavering commitment and skills to free themselves and others from these situations. However, what they lack is a platform for personal growth and skills enhancement in order to implement their ideas on the ground.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row justify-content-md-center\"><div class=\"cnt_col\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is precisely where kanthari comes in: The institute equips its learners from all over the world with the techniques, tools, methods, and refined ideas they need to establish and sustain effective initiatives for a better world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row justify-content-md-center\"><div class=\"cnt_col\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The co-founder of kanthari, Sabriye Tenberken, is herself the perfect example of how individuals facing diverse challenges can achieve a great impact through their own experiences and become passionate advocates for their fellow human beings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row justify-content-md-center\"><div class=\"cnt_col\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sabriye completely lost her vision at the age of twelve. Her love for Tibet and her desire to learn led her to develop the Tibetan Braille script in 1992. In 1997, Sabriye traveled alone to Tibet to explore the possibility of establishing a school for the blind. There, she met Dutch engineer Paul Kronenberg. Together, in 1998, they started a preparatory primary school for blind children, a medical massage training clinic for blind teenagers and adults, a Braille printing press, and an ecological training farm. The farm provided education not only in agricultural professions but also in areas such as cheese-making, baking, and carpet weaving.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"d-flex justify-content-center pb-3\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/chancemaker.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Paul-und-Sabriye-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chancemaker.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Paul-und-Sabriye-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chancemaker.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Paul-und-Sabriye-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chancemaker.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Paul-und-Sabriye-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chancemaker.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Paul-und-Sabriye-2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Sabriye Tenberken and Paul Kronenberg<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row justify-content-md-center\"><div class=\"cnt_col\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2005, Sabriye and Paul established kanthari to empower social visionaries who, like themselves, are driven by the passion to make the world a better place through taking concrete action.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row justify-content-md-center text-center text-gradient fw-bold mt-3 mb-2\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning to change the world<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row justify-content-md-center\"><div class=\"cnt_col\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 2009, a total of 280 Changemakers from 55 countries have been trained at the kanthari Institute. Most important for the participants is to have a clear ambition and vision for social and ecological change &#8211; school and college degrees play no crucial role in selecting the right candidates. All that the &#8220;kantharis&#8221; need in terms of formal qualifications is to have a command of English and basic computer skills. What matters is their openness to new approaches and seeing kanthari as a platform to make their final step for starting their initiatives or as a catalyst for already ongoing projects.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n    <!-- START Slider -->\n    <!-- Slider main container -->\n            <section class=\"container-xl my-5\">\n            <div class=\"swiper block-slider overflow-hidden\">\n                <div class=\"swiper-wrapper ratio ratio-16x9 rounded-5\">\n                                            <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chancemaker.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/prototypes_Oct_2023-scaled.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"w-100 h-100 object-fit-cover shadow\" \/>\n                            <div class=\"swiper-lazy-preloader\"><\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chancemaker.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Icebreakers_session_kanthari_2023-scaled.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"w-100 h-100 object-fit-cover shadow\" \/>\n                            <div class=\"swiper-lazy-preloader\"><\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chancemaker.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Soma_session_kanthari_2023-scaled.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"w-100 h-100 object-fit-cover shadow\" \/>\n                            <div class=\"swiper-lazy-preloader\"><\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chancemaker.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Sessions_kanthari_Nov_2023-scaled.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"w-100 h-100 object-fit-cover shadow\" \/>\n                            <div class=\"swiper-lazy-preloader\"><\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                <!-- If we need pagination -->\n                <div class=\"swiper-pagination-slider text-center\"><\/div>\n                <!-- If we need navigation buttons -->\n                <div class=\"swiper-button-prev\"><\/div>\n                <div class=\"swiper-button-next\"><\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n        <!-- END Slider -->\n\n\n<div class=\"row justify-content-md-center\"><div class=\"cnt_col\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The twelve-month program is funded through scholarships, with seven months of it taking place on the beautiful green kanthari campus in Trivandrum.

For example. they must defend themselves and their initiatives before a critical audience and answer questions from fictional donors.
